Emma, I have a 4 1/2 yr old daughter who also has very mild VCFS. Of course you can imagine how a mother worries about their children's future when she is already struggling in school at such a young age. It is sooo completely inspiring to hear from wonderful adults who are working to make life better for the future VCFS kids by studying early education, nutrition and passing on their success! Thank you for your information and your story.
