Ep.164 Mama Monday: Mom Anna McArthur on Setting Boundaries With Her Neurodivergent Child In Order to Preserve Her Mental Health

On The Hard Days

"I'm not accepting complaints at this time."
About This Episode: It's Mama Monday! This week, I'm talking with mom Anna. I love the way she sets boundaries around those who work with her child AND her child as well. Here are just some of the topics we discussed:
-How society doesn't view behavior struggles as a disability
-Constantly planning and strategizing to make smooth and happy moments
-Creating boundaries around what the school should report to her
-Setting boundaries with her child
-Raising children of a different race and what society thinks
-The goal is "happy, healthy, and independent"
Please shower Anna with love and support by SHARING this episode with a mom who needs to hear her story.
