"Your baby is deaf/hard of hearing."Those are the words that begin the Parenting Journey of raising deaf and hard of hearing children. Today, babies have their hearing levels tested shortly after birth. The Parenting Journey offers a unique look into the journey--one that is often filled with twists and turns. Karen Putz grew up hard of hearing and became deaf as a teen. When her own kids began losing their hearing, she figured she had all the answers as a professional and as a deaf person. She quickly learned it was a whole other ballgame to be a parent of deaf and hard of hearing kids. Karen shares the twists and turns of her journey and the wisdom she's learned along the way. The Parenting Journey includes stories from a variety of parents who share their experiences.
