How would you like to transform your daily stress management into a routine that builds emotional resilience? Join me, Dr. Deanna Iverson, and my incredible guest Monica Pineda, founder of Avance Hub, as we explore mental health "workouts" specifically designed for parents of special needs children. We'll discuss practical, flexible strategies that can be adapted to life’s unpredictable demands, helping you maintain your mental health and set a positive example for your children.
Ever wondered how recognizing your emotional state could change your parenting game? Monica and I break down the importance of stress scales and mental health exercises, showing how these tools can help you become a more responsive, less reactive parent. Learn how to guide your children through emotional regulation using intentional language and create a more supportive home environment that benefits everyone.
Self-compassion and flexibility are essential, especially when your parenting journey involves special needs. We discuss the power of acknowledging your own imperfections and practicing self-forgiveness. Monica shares insights on action-oriented programs like "Connect to Yourself" (C2Y) and the benefits of building a support system. We'll also look at how a strong community, both online and offline, can provide the understanding and advice you need. Don't miss this episode; it's packed with valuable strategies and real-life examples to help you navigate the unique challenges of special needs parenting.
