[Parent Story] Walking The Journey With Laura
[Mind Matters] Understanding Learned Helplessness
In this week’s episode, I’m talking with Laura, a parent of a little girl with autism. I had the opportunity to get to know Laura and her daughter Grace in the ASD preschool where I worked. I hope you enjoy listening to our conversation. We discuss many topics from early diagnosis to parents wellbeing and finding time for self-care.
In today’s podcast I’m going to talk about a term called ‘learned helplessness’ which most parents of children with needs experience at some point along this journey.
