What's Your 1% Step This Week?
Let’s get our first community quick win. We have 49 parents in here now and growing fast, and I want to help make this community practical right away. So here is the question for today: What is one small 1% step you could take this week to help your teen or young adult move forward? Not a huge plan. Not a complete life overhaul. Not fixing everything. Just one small step. Examples: - Have one calmer conversation - Use one lower-pressure script - Open the school portal together for 2 minutes - Choose one home responsibility - Watch one training - Take the Stuck Assessment - Ask one better question instead of lecturing - Celebrate one small win - Look at one job posting - Try one small hygiene step - Set one simple boundary - Repair one hard conversation Copy and paste this below: My 1% step this week is: This matters because: The support I could use is: Remember, progress does not start with a perfect plan. It starts with one small step.

@Cynthia Rekar instead of lecturing- start asking questions about things you notice and let him/her give you feedback so you can see what is stopping progress. It always happens with those things we’ve told them so many times. I start asking my son sincere questions about what may be stopping him from doing this or that. And I can break things into small steps that would be more available to him to accomplish. We then celebrate any small step of progress. Does that help? Some of it is our own self awareness too. As soon as you realize it - just stop or even apologize for lecturing.
Please Introduce Yourself - No More Having to Do it Alone 🎉
Your first step is simple: Introduce yourself in the comments below so we can welcome you, support you, and help you find your starting point. Copy and paste this prompt: My name is: My child is: tween / teen / young adult / adult child The biggest challenge we are facing right now is: What I want most for my child is: One thing I hope to get from this community is: After you post, reply to at least one other parent with: “You’re not alone. I’m glad you’re here.” This is how we begin building community. 😊

Michelle Seibold. I’m a mother of a 23-year-old son with autism, ADHD, and mood disorder, so I understand firsthand the unique challenges and blessings of parenting a young adult with extra needs. I hold a master’s degree in Special Education from the University of Florida, with specialized training to support postsecondary young adults, and I have worked as a strategy tutor for young adults in the UF Athletic Department. As a certified health coach with a background in ministry, leadership, and communication, I am passionate about coming alongside parents with practical guidance, encouragement, and hope.
