I’m excited to be able to see things differently.

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. 😊

Friday Victories 🎉 Before we head into this special "Independence" weekend, let’s pause and notice what moved forward this week. Your victory does not have to be huge. Maybe your teen had one better conversation. Maybe your young adult completed one task. Maybe your child left their room. Maybe you stayed calmer than you normally would. Maybe you asked a better question instead of pushing harder. Maybe you simply made it through a hard week. Progress counts, even when it is small. Drop one victory from this week below 👇

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.

I was invited to speak as a panelist for parents of Neurodivergent school-aged children (elementary thru college) and share with who I feel might benefit from it. It is a free online event that brings parents and experts together to share practical strategies that help reduce stress at home, improve school support, and help neurodiverse children thrive. If you’re raising a neurodivergent school-aged child, teen, or young adult, this is a great opportunity to gain insight, ask questions, and hear from people who truly understand the journey. Time it begins: 1pm ET | 12pm CT | 11am MT | 10am PT For more information and to register for free: https://mycollabpilot.com/r/rnufDxye
