057 - Overcoming Advocacy Fears - With Scotti Weintraub
Notes
Welcome to "Parenting the Intensity!"
๐๏ธ Excited to share our latest episode of "Parenting the Intensity" featuring Scotti Weintraub of Reframe Parenting, a returned guest. With her we delve into the challenges and misconceptions about advocating for our kids in school settings.
Here are three key takeaways from our discussion:
๐ Advocacy Empowerment: Parents often fear being labeled as "that parent." We explore the importance of overcoming this fear to effectively advocate for your child's needs, focusing on their support and success.
๐ Communication and Relationships: Building and maintaining strong relationships with teachers is crucial. Open communication can help balance power dynamics, ensuring that parents' voices are valued and considered.
๐ Exploration of Educational Options: Traditional schooling may not always meet every child's needs. It's important to consider alternative options and work proactively to address educational challenges.
Empower yourself as an advocate for your child! ๐ช
