    Parenting by Intuition: Trusting Yourself

    Welcome to today's episode where we're cracking open the superpower that tends to get overlooked: mother's intuition. Maybe you know the feeling—the gut reaction that nudges us in a certain direction. Or maybe you aren’t sure you’ve ever experienced it before. Maybe you aren’t sure you can trust it. In this episode, we explore why it's crucial for parents, especially high-needs parents, to lean into their intuition. It's not just about parenting; it's a life compass, pointing us towards answers and solutions. But how do you recognize this intuition?  We discuss the importance of self-trust, a skill that's often put to the test by doubts and fears. Self-trust is a building block of parenting. When you trust yourself, you're better equipped to tackle the uncertainties of parenting. Intuition isn’t just reserved for moms. No. It's a universal human trait, but maybe through some mystical force, mother’s intuition is stronger. But trusting your intuition isn't just about blindly following instincts. It's about asking questions, setting boundaries, and advocating for what you believe is best for your child. And you can get to your intuition with practical steps—simple practices like self-care, positive self-talk, and setting goals. These actions help us tap into our intuition and empower us as parents. So, get ready to embrace your intuition, trust yourself, and find a supportive community for all parents, especially those raising high-needs children. Remember, you're not alone in this journey. Together, we can navigate the challenges, celebrate the victories, and pave the way for future generations of parents. Don't miss out on future episodes!

    Understanding Child Development: Debunking Milestone Myths

    Ever wondered why those developmental milestones are so closely watched? I’m breaking it down for you. In this episode, we're getting real about child development and why it's crucial to be in the know about your little one's growth journey. Understanding how your child grows sets the stage for providing the support they need. But let's bust through the myths, too. We're tackling misconceptions like early milestones equaling genius status or delays being solely blamed on poor parenting. Plus, we'll dive into why it's not about comparing your child to others, but rather recognizing their unique needs and ensuring they hit those milestones in their own time. So, grab your headphones and tune in as I empower you to advocate for your child's development, debunk myths, and navigate the journey of parenthood with confidence. After all, no one knows your child better than you do! Don't forget to like and follow for more insightful episodes.

    Navigating Parenthood with High-Needs Children

    Are you a parent facing challenges beyond the ordinary? Welcome to the Parenting High Needs Children podcast. This is the debut episode where we dive into the world of high-needs children: What defines them, how it affects parenting, and the challenges that come with it. High-needs children are those who demand more time, energy, and support from their caregivers than their peers. This encompasses a wide spectrum of needs, ranging from medical and emotional requirements to behavioral challenges. While diagnoses like autism or ADHD are common, what truly matters is understanding and meeting their unique needs, regardless of whether there is a diagnosis or what that diagnosis may be.  As parents, we often feel isolated and misunderstood, facing judgment and lacking support from family and community. However, by advocating for our children and communicating effectively with healthcare providers, we can create a nurturing environment where we can both can thrive.
