Season 1

Mental load and the total sacrifice!

The mental load of any parent is one thing but the mental load of a parent or carer with a child who has AUTISM/ADHD/PDA is a whole new level of ridiculous! How can I stop my mind from being so busy all the time? How can I shhhhh the mind?

Taking back control amongst AUTISM/ADHD/PDA

Do you ever feel like life is happening to you? Do you ever feel that life is full of meetings, phone calls and emails and yet you have no voice? Then this podcast is for you! Start to take back control with professionals and within professional meetings. Start to take back control with your Childs care needs and how they will be facilitated. Start to take back control by boundary setting when going to others peoples houses. Start to take back control (in just a few minutes) with your own well being. Start to feel like you have a part to play in life; Rather than life happening to you.

SEND PARENTING WELL-BEING / EXHAUSTION / STRESS

Parents / carers of children with AUTISM/ADHD/PDA will know the feeling of burnout. They will know the feeling of exhaustion and they will know the feeling of continuing to pour from an empty cup. This podcast throws light on the five different types of exhaustion and considers how to creatively fill our cup back up.

AUTISM & Associated PDA (Pathological Demand Avoidance)

What is PDA? What behaviours display when your child has PDA? How do you parent a child with PDA? Can school help? Where do I get more support? How do I get PDA acknowledged? The all in one place podcast for everything PDA.

It is not your fault... (Autism/ ADHD/PDA)...

It is not your fault, although, society may have you thinking or questioning otherwise! Perhaps your child may have autism/ADHD/PDA... Perhaps you may have autism / ADHD/ PDA... Perhaps you have your child so that they don't need to struggle as much as you did when you were a child... Perhaps you will change their story because of your understanding and experience.

EBSA (Emotional Based School Avoidance)

Why does my child suffer with emotional based school avoidance? What reasonable adjustments can I request at school to help get them back to school? This is a different take on emotional based school avoidance and discusses topics that may not have been considered. The outlook I share may shed a little more light on the internal struggles children with Autism/ADHD/PDA and Anxiety can suffer with.

Happy on the outside, overwhelmed on the inside.

Having children with needs and completing the interventions for those needs can sometimes be overwhelming! The stress is literally running through my soul, yet, on goes that mask in front of the children. Happy on the outside, overwhelmed on the inside. How to achieve a little more balance via self acceptance and my own expectations.
