Great Neck SEPTA (C.H.I.L.D) Invites You to Join Us!
Monday December 7th @10:30am
Saddle Rock School (Library)
We each bring to parenting our own childhood experiences and expectations of how we envisioned parenthood. However, our children are not us.Raising a special needs child brings on unanticipated challenges and stresses both between parents themselves and children.
Examples of strategies that will be discussed include:
- How to accept that your job as a parent isn’t going to make your child happy
- How to discern when your child’s behavior is a true challenge vs. unwillingness
- How to parent mindfully when what you expect may not be realistic
- How to negotiate with your child from their reality
- How not to play good cop/bad cop with your parenting partner/spouse
- How to nurture your child’s independence vs. dependence
