Celebrating Being an Exeptional Parent

This is the first of two programmes designed exclusively for parents of children with additional needs. The word ‘autism’ isn’t actually mentioned so it’s suitable for parents of all children in this position and will work equally well whatever issues you’re facing. 

The main focus of the programme is on accepting things as they are and being confident as a parent. Topics covered include handling your emotions and responding more calmly to stressful situations, understanding that your child is so much more than their diagnosis, knowing you are enough as both a parent and a person, focussing on the positives and learning to laugh about things, recognising and responding to your child’s non-verbal communication, being less affected by other people’s negativity and having the confidence to ask for and accept appropriate help.
