Parenting doesn't come with a manual.
But for Medical Parents this e-book can be your guide.
Being a Medical Parent is overwhelming.
This ebook helps you breathe a little easier.
Your Guide to Medical Parenting:
Organized, Empowered, and Supported
Parent & Caregiver was made especially for Medical Parents, to give you tools for navigating this very unique journey.
You'll learn how to:
Build Your Care Notebook
Keep everything in one hassle-free place. From medical records to provider notes, your Care Notebook will keep track of appointments, hospital stays, and more. I explain how to make one, and keep it updated.
Master Medical Terminology
Tired of feeling lost in the jargon? Parent & Caregiver highlights common terms, helps you create your own personalized glossary—so you can move forward with clarity and confidence
This eBook is For Parents Who Need To:
Navigate the Healthcare System
From finding the right providers to getting answers from insurance, I share the key questions to ask, the red flags to watch for, and the best ways to advocate for your child through it all.
Nurture Family Relationships
When one child has complex needs, it can affect the whole family. Get practical ideas to help siblings feel seen and included, and find ways to stay connected with your partner through the ups and downs.
Schedule Like a Pro
Once upon a time, I used dry-erase markers on my bedroom mirror just to keep track of appointments. There’s a better way. And I’ll show you tools and tricks to simplify your scheduling and stay sane.
Feeling isolated is one of the biggest struggles for Medical Parents.
Know that you are never alone on this journey.
A circle of support who truly get it - from friends and family to professionals and peer parents - is closer than you may think.
My name is Michaela McCoin. I'm a former occupational therapist and a Medical Mom. I wrote this ebook for other moms, dads, and caregivers like me.
I started The Medical Parent Network to share experiences, helpful resources, and practical guidance with other parents of children with medically complex conditions, and special needs.
