It's expensive to raise a child with special needs, which people don't even think about. Emotionally it can be a struggle, but financially it's really rough.

As I grew up, I became aware that there are people with special needs out there, and I have a real connection with them.

Sometimes even the greatest joys bring challenge, and children with special needs inspire a very, very special love.

I'd like to work with kids in special education - younger kids.

Working with kids can be tricky because they can be pretty unpredictable.

It is very easy to get people focused on children.

I really feel that most things are difficult at the beginning and they become fun, something you love, only after you've worked at them. Making children do something hard can, in the long run, be a great parental service.

As a mom I know that raising children is the hardest job there is.

Working with children has done well for me. I don't find them intolerable or frustrating. They're just fun, full of energy, and happy to be there.

If you want plenty of experience in dealing with difficult people, then have kids.
