Episode #9 | When Parents Limit or Shelter Their Child
As parents, we are our child’s strongest advocate. But what happens when our fears and expectations fall lower than what our child’s true capabilities may be? A fantastic group of parents joined me to share stories about asking too little or too much of their child with special needs as well as:
- finding a balance between getting things done efficiently and capitalizing on teachable moments for independence
- ways to measure and assess your child’s functional living skills
- how to let go and let them try (and possibly fail)
- the benefit of finding skills that make them feel valued
- encouragement to just keep going
- finding your season and trying again after failure
- strategies to shoot higher
