0:00.0	Welcome to AT Parenting Survival Podcast, where you get supporting guidance through the chaos of parenting.
0:07.0	Here's your host, Child Therapist Natasha Daniels.
0:11.0	Hello, hello.
0:12.0	Welcome to another episode of the AT Parenting Survival Podcast. In episode
0:16.8	I'm going to be talking about five unrealistic expectations people place on
