So too often the caregiver will attack themselves- I'm a bad mother- or they'll attack the child and they'll say: you trigger me, or you make me act this way and it's well. Or how would you feel if you didn't have that thought more in control of myself? The opposite is: you didn't trigger me, I trigger me. And then they'll find all the ways their relationship is more positive.
Parenting a child with autism or cerebral palsy can feel like an uphill battle, filled with moments of grief, guilt, and self-doubt. In this episode of The Brain Warrior's Way Podcast, Dr. Daniel Amen and Tana Amen tackle these tough emotions head-on, offering practical advice to help you become a more effective caregiver. They share strategies to shift your mindset, enabling you to support your child’s unique needs while also taking care of yourself.
The Amens emphasize the importance of recognizing and nurturing your child's strengths, rather than focusing solely on their challenges. They also highlight the necessity of self-care for caregivers, reminding you that you can't pour from an empty cup. This episode is a lifeline for parents feeling overwhelmed, providing actionable tips to foster positive relationships with your children, including teenagers and young adults. Tune in to learn how to transform your approach to caregiving and build a more harmonious family dynamic.
