44. Building a Better Connection with your Child

Talk to them even if it doesn’t seem like they want to, just be sure to choose the times of the day when you know it would be best for them Give yourself permission to not be interested in what they want to talk about without it meaning something about you as a mom Set boundaries for yourself and have expectations and consequences that you are willing to follow through on Choose your battles and decide what is important based on your family values and stick to it Get out of your comfort zone and routine and DO or GO someplace different Take time to just BE with your child without any expectations www.notyouraverageautismmom.com
