Full description:
Our LD & sensory kids carry an extra burden, and we along with them. We work hard, and care deeply, but don’t always feel satisfied with the job we do, especially when meltdowns, shutdowns, and chronic troubles at school set the rhythm for our lives.
Care for parents is a treatment modality for children & teens because we can only co-regulate well, when we are emotionally regulated ourselves. Co-regulation supports our children’s emotional and neurological growth. It supports their developing executive functioning and capacity to self regulate, both of which foster planning, good judgment and healthy relationships.
Six specific parenting tools* are presented for your consideration, and with your families needs in mind. Each tool is congruent with current research on the neuroscience of attachment and sensory processing disorder.
Resilience in parents is strengthened when we decrease isolation.
Hope is restored when we talk about the hard times in parenting, feel cared about in return, and gather fresh ideas to try at home.
