Parents of kids with baffling behaviors are CONSTANTLY being judged by others.
How do we get to a point where we don’t care as much about what other people think?
In this episode, we’ll explore:
- Some of the most common judgments that parents of kids with baffling behaviors receive
- How it’s actually not possible to not care at all, but we can care LESS
- Three things we can do so that the judgment from others doesn’t impact us as much as it does now
Script for setting a boundary with folks who are expressing judgment:
I know you love me and care about me. I’m so grateful.
When my child is dysregulated, what I need from you is:
- To quietly slip away
- Bring me a drink
- Make sure we’re all safe but then step away.
I know you’re worried about us. I’m worried too. I’ve learned a lot about behavior and what’s causing these issues and feel good about the approach we’re taking. Sometimes it’s really really hard and I need your support.
