Dink weer.

Die Lowes van Middelburg trek dikwels aandag wanneer hulle as gesin op uitstappies gaan. Hoewel ma Rika van gemiddelde lengte is, is haar man, Stephen, en hul drie kinders almal kort.
Dit was nie altyd maklik vir Abigail (15), Khloe (14) en Izak (12) om met dwergisme groot te word nie, maar hul ouers het hulle geleer om hulle nie aan opmerkings of boelies te steur nie.
Daniëlla gesels met Rika oor hoe sy en Stephen veerkragtige kinders grootmaak, watter uitdagings hulle as gesin ervaar, en wat hulle wens die publiek van kort mense weet.

The Lowe family from Middelburg often attracts attention when they go out together. While mom Rika is of average height, her husband, Stephen, and their three children are all so-called "little people".
It hasn't always been easy for Abigail (15), Khloe (14) and Izak (12) to grow up with dwarfism, but their parents have taught them not to let comments or bullying define them.
Daniëlla speaks to Rika about how she and Stephen are raising resilient children, the challenges they face as a family, and what they wish the public understood about people with dwarfism.

Daar is duisende mense in die skare by sy vertonings.

Maar vir Jo Black is daar net drie wat régtig saak maak: sy vrou en twee dogters.

In hierdie Vadersdagmaand-episode van 'n Ma & 'n Mikrofoon gesels Daniëlla en Jo oor die hart van 'n pa. Jo deel hoe sy "rowwe lewe" gehelp het om die man en pa wat hy vandag is, te vorm, en vertel van die talle uitdagings wat hy en sy vrou, Debbie, al op hul ouerskapsreis moes trotseer.

Jo gee ook raad en moed aan ander pa's wat dalk voel dat die lewe hulle platgeslaan het en dat hulle nie die pa en man kan wees wat hulle graag vir hul gesinne wil wees nie

There are thousands of people in the crowd at his shows.

But for Jo Black, there are only three who truly matter: his wife and two daughters.

In this Father's Month episode of A Mom & A Microphone, Daniëlla and Jo talk about the heart of fatherhood. Jo shares how his "rough life" helped shape the man and father he is today, and opens up about the many challenges he and his wife, Debbie, have faced on their parenting journey.

Jo also offers encouragement and advice to other fathers who may feel beaten down by life and believe they cannot be the husband and father they want to be for their families.
