How To Stay Patient and Hold Boundaries

How To Stay Patient and Hold Boundaries When Your Atypical Kid is Home All. The. Time.

Okay. I don't have solid answers, but Ocean and I have plenty of thoughts. I'll share some strategies which can help: Simple family meetings, patience promoting practices, and Amber De La Garza's 3 step framework for boundaries: Identify the boundary, framing it as what you need in order to show up as your best self. Lovingly communicate the boundary. Hold the boundary. Repeat... Good luck!

Let's stick together. We really need each other right now, parents!

I have found that having a small community of parents who understand is essential to my wellbeing. Join our Mindfully Parenting Atypical Kids Community https://www.facebook.com/groups/3229904633801703/?source_id=400903940032482
