Lunch & Learn! Parent Support & Education - Presented by Dr. Ixchel Fonseca

Lunch & Learn! Parent Support & Education - Presented by Dr. Ixchel Fonseca (1/05/24) Today at 12, join us on Zoom to explore the challenges and joys of parenting a child with atypical behaviors, fostering a shared understanding of their unique needs while addressing parental exhaustion and nurturing your emotional well-being. Looking at complex behaviors through a different lens. Raising a child with atypical behaviors can lead to parental exhaustion from prolonged exposure to chronic parenting stress. However, understanding the child’s temperment perspective will facilitate a joint understanding of how best to approach their emotional, social, and learning needs; nurture your own emotional needs. Learn how family shaped our identity and share your unique journey of parenting a child with distinctive behaviors (ODD, ADHD, etc.) Parents, know you are not alone!
