Think of what I'm sharing today as just one piece of a larger, balanced approach to supporting your child
Heather Ross brings a wealth of experience and compassion to this episode of Living With Your Child's Addiction. If you've ever felt at your wit's end trying to understand your child's baffling behaviours, you're not alone. Heather dives into the practical side of working with your child's existing capabilities rather than fighting against their limitations.
She discusses how brain science can explain why your child might excel in certain areas but struggle with everyday tasks like making phone calls or keeping appointments. The episode focuses on practical strategies to help your child build new skills and gain confidence without escalating conflict or frustration. Heather shares personal anecdotes and examples, including her own experiences with her daughter Helena, to illustrate how these approaches can be applied in real-life situations.
She emphasises the importance of patience, breaking tasks into smaller steps, and using external accountability to support your child. Heather also addresses the stigma and fears that can hold parents back from offering the help their children need. By shifting the focus from what your child can't do to what they can do, you'll find new ways to support their growth and healing.
The episode is a valuable resource for any parent struggling to make sense of their child's behaviour and looking for compassionate, effective strategies to help them thrive. Tune in to learn how you can create a supportive environment that fosters positive change and strengthens your relationship with your child.
