The best parenting advice I've ever received came from a clown. A hospital clown to be specific.

Eddy Smits was one of the first clowns in Belgium to go into hospitals to help kids. Visiting patients for nearly a decade taught him a thing or two about being present & the inner thoughts of a child in a traumatic situation. What he learned by accident was the impact he was making on the parents.

This episode is an amazing bootcamp of parenting 101 from the front lines of the most difficult parenting out there. Parenting from a hospital.  Eddy has gone on to coach parents, give Ted X talks & so much more.  This is a gem of an episode in learning some of life's greatest lessons.
