Parenting with Sight Loss (Collette Kerr/Elizabeth Millar)

The podcast starts by exploring the challenges that many parents with sight loss face, such as making formula or changing nappies; navigating with a cane and a pram; teaching road sense; encouraging play when you may worry you might not see your child; safety around the home, like not seeing a child reach for a hot drink; playdates and children parties; anxieties and opinions of other parents; jealousy between visually impaired parents and sighted adult children; and adjusting to the role of carer to the one being cared for when your children grow up. The podcast urges parents to trust their instincts and it is ok to ask for help and support. The podcast then signposts resources that parents with sight loss may find helpful.
