Putting parents in the driver’s seat

In this episode, Melo shares his story about parental agency as he talks with our host, Simone Dudley. Melo stresses never to underestimate the importance of a parent’s influence on their child’s development, as experienced with his own daughter.

Listen to Melo as he defines hope as having a goal, believing you can make a difference, and having a pathway to follow. This as well as the benefit that comes from peers sharing their stories truly highlights that parents are a rich resource for one another, for their lived experience incorporates deeper meaning to any message they deliver, and it was this that helped guide Melo back into the driver’s seat. This led Melo to realise – if you believe it to be possible, you begin to see possibilities.
