The Child Who Felt Invisible - and the Superpower That Changed Everything
Some children shine in obvious ways. Others quietly wonder if anyone truly sees them.
Guest Host Kathryn Colins speaks with Dr. Mark Perloe, a retired IVF specialist and grandfather, whose relationship with his two grandsons inspired him to write his first children’s book. One grandson is highly focused and neurodivergent. The other sometimes feels invisible -but uses humour as his superpower to connect.
💥 How children who feel unseen can discover their own strengths
💥 The power of humour, empathy, and kindness in building confidence
💥 The unique role grandparents and adults can play in nurturing emotional well-being
💥 Why noticing and valuing every child creates stronger families and communities
💥 How Milo's story has helped to build a connection between siblings. How did Mark and his cousin work together to make publishing Milo's Superpower possible.
Sometimes the most powerful thing we can do is simply see a child - and help them recognize the superpowers they already have.
