As a parent, you want your child to eat healthy food that will help them grow and develop properly. However, it can be a real challenge when your child protests against healthy food. To get your child to eat healthy, it's essential to make food fun, interesting, and appealing to them. You can involve them in meal planning, grocery shopping, and even preparing the meals. By doing so, your child will feel included in the decision-making process, and it'll help them develop a sense of responsibility for their health.

Additionally, you can try incorporating healthy foods into their favorite dishes so that they won't even realize they're eating healthy. Finally, keep in mind the importance of modeling healthy eating habits yourself. Children are more likely to imitate their parents, so make sure you're eating healthy foods too. With patience, consistency, and creativity, you can encourage your child to eat healthy and develop lifelong healthy eating habits.

In this episode Jamie is a single mom, an entrepreneur, advocate for all natural approaches from food, to cleaning products to health.

Parenting can be a challenging job, and it becomes even more demanding when it comes to raising children with special needs. Children with special needs often face unique challenges that require extra attention and support. They require a different approach to parenting that addresses their specific needs. Naked parenting is a unique quality that can benefit children with special needs. It refers to a parenting style that emphasizes honesty, vulnerability, and genuine communication between parents and children. In this essay, I will discuss how naked parenting can improve parent-child relationships and help children with special needs.

Naked parenting is a parenting style that encourages parents to be honest and transparent with their children. It encourages parents to be vulnerable and open about their feelings, thoughts, and experiences. It involves parents setting boundaries, being assertive, and also being willing to apologize when they make mistakes. This parenting technique can be especially helpful for children with special needs as it can build stronger connections between parents and children. It creates a safe space for children to be themselves, be heard, understood and feel validated.

Parenting is a challenging role that requires a great deal of patience, perseverance, and love. Parenting a special needs child, however, presents a unique set of challenges that many parents struggle to overcome. Special needs children require additional care and support to help them thrive and reach their full potential, which can take an immense toll on their parents. In this essay, we will explore the various struggles that parents face in raising a special needs child and the ways in which they can be supported.

One of the most significant struggles that parents of special needs children face is the emotional toll that it can take on them. Many parents feel overwhelmed, stressed, and anxious about their child's condition, and they may struggle to cope with the daily challenges that come with caring for a special needs child. It can be challenging to navigate the medical and education systems, to find the right treatments and therapies, and to manage the financial burden that often comes with providing extra care and support.

There are also practical challenges that must be addressed in raising a special needs child. Parents must often adjust their work schedules, find appropriate childcare, attend therapy sessions and medical appointments, and provide extra support and guidance with daily activities such as feeding and bathing. These challenges can make it difficult for parents to juggle their caregiving responsibilities with other responsibilities.

Despite these challenges, there are many ways in which parents of special needs children can be supported. First and foremost, it is essential that parents have access to appropriate medical and educational resources. This may include finding a knowledgeable physician who specializes in their child's condition, working with a team of therapists and educators, and accessing financial assistance programs. It is also important that parents have a supportive network of family and friends who can offer emotional and practical support.

Raising a special needs child poses significant challenges for parents. It requires a greater level of care, patience, and support than raising a typical child, and it can take a considerable emotional, financial, and practical toll on parents. However, with proper resources, support, and advocacy, parents of special needs children can overcome these challenges and provide their children with the love, care, and support they deserve.

The term "pillar of parenting" refers to a fundamental principle or value that serves as a foundation for effective parenting. When it comes to children with special needs, there are several pillars of parenting that are particularly important. These may include:

Advocacy: Parents of children with special needs must be strong advocates for their kids, ensuring that they receive the support and services they need to succeed.
Flexibility: Raising a child with special needs can be unpredictable, so parents must be willing to adapt and adjust their parenting strategies as needed.
Patience: Many children with special needs require extra time and attention from their parents, so patience is essential for building strong relationships and providing effective support.
Empathy: Understanding and respecting your child's unique challenges and experiences is important for building trust and promoting positive outcomes.
Collaboration: Parents should work closely with educators, healthcare providers, and other professionals to create a supportive network around their child and ensure that all of their needs are being met.

Together, these pillars of parenting can help parents of children with special needs navigate the challenges and joys of raising a child with unique needs and abilities.

My child was diagnosed at the age of two years old; it was something that both my husband and I were not expecting. We had no clue what Autism was nor did we know how to support our precious son. In the beginning I wasn't coping. I wasn't sleeping. In fact, I was grieving for what in my mind was no more. I would lay in bed wondering if my child would one day say “I love you, Mum”? Would he be able to go to school? Would he have friends? Would people judge me? Would people judge him?

I battled with feelings of shame and blame for far too long. I drowned my sorrows with alcohol to numb the pain and constant negative self-talk took its toll. - Nathalie Karras

I am a mom of 4, my 2nd child is a girl with autism. I started my company because I needed to have control of my schedule to be available for my kids. At the time I was dealing with a second PPD, then I became a single mom, I was only 28, had no guidance, and was also alone in assessing her for the delays I was noticing. Fast forward 4 years and she is thriving, my schedule is overwhelming but I am available for her and her 3 siblings.

I recently won a national title in my field. My career is also what helps me with my mental health navigating through advocating for her and the constant fight that I face. My road has had so many twists and turns but I am trying to use my voice to advocate for special needs moms.

"And Still I Rise" is the title of a Maya Angelou poem. It's stayed with me since I read it in high school."

"We’re a functioning dysfunctional family of 6. My stepson is 7 and potentially on the spectrum, but hasn’t been tested. He lives with us. He has severe behavioral and emotional issues(he was with his mother but she couldn’t handle him and basically was like, I’m done you keep him) while his sister, my stepdaughter, who is 5, lives with her mother and we see her whenever mom allows it. I have a 6-year-old daughter that my husband has adopted and we have a 2-year-old son that is on the spectrum. I spend most of my days with him going to therapy or playgroups so he can socialize or do therapy at home.

I’ve gotten pretty good at finding a balance between focusing on my younger son during the school week and my older kids after school on the weekends, but it is still overwhelming at times and I do worry if my daughter is slipping through the cracks because so much of my time has to go towards her brothers and their special needs and accommodations."

Colette Evangelista is the mother of a son with autism who began the podcast called “Compassion Confetti”. By relating with the audience, Colette provides self-compassion methods for mothers of autistic children to add more kindness, tenderness, warmth, love, support, and a lot of humor.

Our autism worlds can get messy like confetti, but instead of judging and criticizing the mess, let’s learn to celebrate it. Self-compassion is the practice of creating a spot in your heart and soul where YOUR needs are met and you are then nourished and cared for... by YOU!

You will learn how to deal with your non-verbal child with a sensory processing disorder, seizures, meltdowns, haircuts, and family trips. Embark on a journey of consciousness, self-care & meditation.

My name is Chad Ratliffe. I am a single father of 5 kids 6 years of age (8-14) and 2 with special needs. 5 years ago, in a nasty divorce, my depression led me to drug addiction and hopelessness. Today, I share with others a life I never imagined possible.

Heather Stone founded Stone Insurance in 2003, delivering insurance options that are tailored to each individual's needs. That same spirit of personalized care led to her becoming a special needs advocate and establishing Invisible Parent as a valued resource. Heather's passion for making health insurance both simple and understandable for all was ignited when her disabled son developed health problems at a young age. That drove her to focus on finding affordable health care solutions for all, whether through private insurers or public options such as Medicare and the Health Insurance Marketplace.

"When my son Noah was first diagnosed as a child with a disability, the daily stress began. Over the next 20 years, I’d lay in bed wondering how I would fund a child with a lifelong disability. Questions without answers overwhelmed me. Do I save for his retirement or mine? Am I getting the best medical care for him? Would he ever drive, find love, make friends, or find a sense of independence? Why is it so hard to get help? What happens to him when I die? All too often, parents and caregivers are consumed with worry. As Noah transitioned into an adult, I wished I had worried less and enjoyed the journey more. With the proper support and the ability to let go of fear, Noah now lives his life to the fullest potential. Hope is at the center of our journey. My hope is that you will find it on yours."

Angharad Hughes is a coach who works with parents feeling overwhelmed. She talks about the importance of not comparing ourselves to others and using the word "should" less. She works with clients all around the world through Zoom and is currently writing a book called "Speak Your Truth". She explains that everyone needs to take time for themselves, even if it's just a few minutes, and that it's important to remove the guilt associated with that.

Angharad encourages parents to make the time for themselves to put on their own "gas mask" and remove the guilt associated with it. She encourages them to reach out to a friend, journal, or find a community online with similar stories. She encourages parents to set boundaries and respect them.

"I would like to discuss how this alternative way of dealing with my children saved my marriage and saved my relationship with my kids. The success is what made me passionate to help other moms and caregivers. I felt very alone and full of shame because of the way my kids were/are and I want to help other Moms to know they are not alone and it's not their fault."

My name is Kim, I'm a wife and a mom of 3. My oldest son is an overachiever kid and easygoing, he made me believe I was a pretty perfect Mom and then I had baby #2! My middle son is on the autism spectrum and my youngest, a girl, we adopted from Hungary. She has been diagnosed with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome Disorder. From the time my middle child was 14 months old, he has had severe and challenging behaviors. We found out quickly the traditional way of parenting only made things worse for him. At about age 9, we started trying an alternative way, a collaborative method and it worked so well, I have written my own curriculum and am now passionate to support and coach other moms who need help as I did. My kids are 18, 19, and 23 currently.

Modern medicine considers Autism to be an “incurable diagnosis,” but Warrior Mom challenges this claim, sharing one mother’s journey to healing her son. For any parent who has heard the chilling words "your child has autism," Tracy Slepcevic offers hope, inspiration, and advice to help you navigate the system, evaluate different treatment options, and heal your child’s underlying conditions.

After her son Noah had a severe regression after meeting all his milestones, Tracy spent years trying to figure out what was wrong with her little boy. Once given a diagnosis, doctors said Noah would never lead a fully functioning life, but Tracy knew this was not her son’s fate. Refusing to give up, Tracy read dozens of books, attended autism conferences, and spent countless hours researching how to heal her child. She was determined to turn her son around from what doctors called an “incurable diagnosis” so that Noah could live his best life possible. Over the years, Noah made great progress with biomedical intervention and lives a fully functional life today with a bright future ahead of him.

Warrior Mom is an inspiring story of hope and an indispensable guidebook for any parent desperate to hear the truth that autism is not a hopeless diagnosis and that many underlying conditions associated with autism are treatable.

When you dance, your purpose is not to get to a certain place on the floor. It's to enjoy each step along the way. ~Dr. Wayne Dyer

Through meditation, he realized playing the victim role was not helping his situation. He picked himself up and started over. One day a phone call asked him if he can be with his kids again since the mother lost her jurisdiction over the kids due to drug addiction.

ABA Patient Advocacy was founded to help children with autism and their caregivers navigate and get the most out of treatments including ABA therapy, other behavioral therapies, and general healthcare.

ABA Patient Advocacy can also help you explore options for therapies. Not all autism therapy companies or providers are created equal. Danyell, the founder, is a Board Certified Behavior Analyst and a Board Certified Patient Advocate. Early in her career, she recognized that there are often communication gaps between providers and caregivers.

ABA Patient Advocacy was created to help bridge that gap. The purpose of ABA Patient Advocacy is to empower you with the knowledge you need to get the most out of treatments or therapies your child is receiving.
