As we get ready to say goodbye to 2024, let’s take a moment to reflect on the things that truly made a difference — for our kids and ourselves. All year, the content team here at Undivided has been working hard to answer the top questions our community has been asking — by talking to …

The holiday season is filled with excitement — sparkling lights, festive music, delicious treats, and the joy of gift-giving. But for many families like ours, it can also come with a side of stress. Kiddos with food sensitivities, sensory challenges, or travel difficulties often feel the brunt of the holiday rush, leaving parents working overtime …

Here at Undivided, we’re filled with gratitude as we reflect on this past year. Being part of so many families’ lives has been an incredible honor.

Parents, it’s that time of year again — winter break: the season of holiday music, steamy mugs of hot chocolate, cozy sweaters, and, ‘mom, I’m bored!’ And while a few weeks of holiday cheer sounds great in theory, it can also mean three weeks of “home time” for the kids.

As parents, it’s normal to worry about our kids’ futures. But when our kids have disabilities, the concerns may feel a lot bigger than we can handle. All the joys of parenting come hand in hand with the tough realities of making plans for situations we’d rather not think about if we had the choice. …

Sometimes, it can feel like the world isn’t equipped to accommodate what our families need, especially on vacation. For instance, somewhere like a theme park. Bright lights, loud noises, long lines, people everywhere — if only there was a …
