82. Relationship Dynamics in the Teen Years

Teenage years are hard, without a doubt.  As their dependency on us and our need to care for them and control their world shifts, it can be super uncomfortable for both them and us. In today's episode, I am talking about the most common things that come up when I am coaching moms of teens or pre-teens.  I am giving you strategies I hope will help you navigate through this time with less resistance from them and for you, less frustration.   I also talk about parenting from a place of faith and hope instead of from fear.  I see many parents who parent from a place of fear and that is never recommended and in this episode, I talk about what that means and why it isn't effective.   If you are feeling alone on your journey or maybe you are looking for other moms to connect with who understand your day-to-day challenges, be sure that you check out all of the benefits available to you in our PRIVATE SISTERHOOD. www.notyouraverageautismmom.com --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/shannon-urquiola/support

Om Podcasten

This podcast was started for parents and caregivers raising autistic children but it has evolved and we have listeners across the world who are relatives of someone with autism, special education teachers, and other professionals. My son Jordan is 27 years old and was diagnosed with autism when he was 5 years old. I have been where you are. Jordan will likely never live independently. I am in the trenches every day, just like you. Each week I talk about topics that directly impact your life and go hand in hand with your unique parenting journey. info@notyouraverageautismmom.com Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/shannon-urquiola/support
