RESILIENT HIGHLIGHTS: Introducing Carolina Behr Working with children with special needs Helping your child feel empowered Keeping your cool when you lose your patience Children become more self-aware of their needs Things to do to support our kids from a young age Preparing the entire house for the child It’s easier for the child to adjust to the parents than to the child The importance of finding common ground between both parents WORDS OF RESILIENCE CAROLINA: Helping your child feel empowered “When we don't make a choice and someone else makes the choice for us, it's actually really hard, and you just love them. Because for them, it's actually really serious, and it's really hard, and guess what happens? The next time you give them a choice, they take the choice because now they know that you're not the enemy, you're not going to force it on them, that you're going to love them through it, whether you are honestly giving them a choice. And if they choose not to take it, you will make a choice for them. But it's going to be out of love and not out of power…” CAROLINA: Every day is an opportunity for your child to be independent “Always think, Where can I add more freedom in more for me, and more independence for this child and you start seeing it, you're gonna start seeing it everywhere. Because there are opportunities throughout your day, that will allow the child to become more independent, and that will give you more time.” Connect with Carolina: Carolina Behr | Instagram | Carolina Behr Education Connect with Pat: Pat Di Domenico | About Resilient Dad If you liked this episode and were inspired by the journeys it shares, or you have suggestions or your own stories to share, subscribe to the Resilient Dad podcast now and leave us a comment!
