Reaching out for help/suggestions on how to go about getting power of attorney and health directive in place so when my son turns 18, I'll still be able to help him with his healthcare, meds, etc.

Alexa needed to do her laundry. She remembered at 830pm last night. I suggested she set an alarm for each wash and dry so it didn't sit in the machine overnight or I get stuck helping. This morning, she tells me she did her laundry, folded and put it away last night.

Let’s end the week and head into the weekend by noticing progress — even if it feels small. What is ONE thing your teen or young adult did this week that you want to recognize? (or if you did something...let's celebrate that) Maybe they: - Started something without being reminded - Had a good conversation with you - Went to work or school on a hard day - Tried something uncomfortable - Helped around the house - Applied for a job - Spent time outside their room - Handled a setback better than usual Sometimes progress doesn’t look dramatic. Sometimes it’s simply doing something today that was harder a few months ago. 👇 Share one win from your week — big or small. And if another parent shares something worth celebrating, give them a little encouragement too.

After our recent training on executive functioning and task initiation, I’d love to hear what this looks like in your home. What is ONE task your teen or young adult regularly struggles to get started on? It could be: - Homework or schoolwork - Getting ready in the morning - Cleaning their room - Applying for jobs - Making appointments - Starting chores - Getting off screens - Something completely different Drop yours in the comments. And parents — if someone shares something you’ve dealt with before, jump in and share what has helped in your home. One of the goals of this community is for us to learn not only from the trainings, but from each other.

My son went on his interview and said it went well ! He said it wasn't as scary as he thought it was going to be. 😉As a result, he applied for 4 more jobs, one of which is in the field in which he is receiving his Bachelor's degree in December. He seems to be taking more initiative now. I keep reminding myself to trust the process and things will happen when they're supposed to. Thank you all for your support throughout this process. It's very nice not to have to go through it alone.
