This Is For You If...
You love your child deeply, and you are trying hard every day to make it through and be the "best" parent you can be. But it's hard and nothing you have tried is working. You keep trying harder and things seem to get worse.
You're exhausted...
from trying to balance your child's behaviors and your feelings of being a "failure" as a parent. You feel alone and isolated from everyone else whose kids are "well-behaved" and no one seems to understand YOU. Your parent experience leaves you feeling invisible and sitting in silence with your emotions.
You're craving...
a community that gets YOU. You need a safe space to share, continue to learn about your child's needs, and be encouraged to try differently. You desire a community you can trust to be authentic and transparent about what you, as the parent, are going through. You need to feel seen and have your voice heard.
About The Community
What It Is...
-
A community facilitated by an expert in the neurobehavioral model who is also a parent of multiple children with neurobehavioral challenges.
-
A community rooted in the Th!nk Brain Framework and NB approach, where individualized accommodations can be developed and applied.
-
A place with a clear focus and purpose, educational topics, and live meetings with the facilitator and other community members.
-
A place where participants will understand their child better from a Th!nk Brain mindset, and have the support they need to put the approach into everyday life.
-
A community where participants will meet others who share the same daily challenges and are also applying the Th!nk Brain framework.
-
A community where participants will receive support, encouragement, and inspiration.
-
A safe place where participants can be authentic and transparent about their feelings, without fear of judgment.
-
This community is unique because it acknowledges not only your child and their needs, but also...YOU, the parent. You matter, your feelings matter, and your experience in parenting someone with challenging behavioral symptoms, matters. Here, you will be seen.
What It Is NOT...
-
A typical online meetup. This special community is facilitated with focus and intention by a facilitator with expertise in brain-based disabilities, and the neurobehavioral approach, and also has lived experience as a parent of multiple children with substantial neurobehavioral challenges.​​
-
A one-size-fits-all solution for neurobehavioral challenges. It is not about "fixing" your child or "getting your child" to be compliant.
-
It is not a place to discuss medication interventions that may help in "fixing" your child. Although medications can be helpful for some, this is not the focus of this group.​
-
It is not a constant information dump of neurobehavioral conditions. There will be times of discussion but it is not the main focus.
-
​Although it is a place to be authentic and transparent, It is not a place to complain or pass judgment on other parenting styles or approaches, systemic barriers, or education. This group is here to support and encourage others along their neurobehavioral parenting journey.
Who It Is For...
-
Parents and caregivers of a child with a brain-based disability with behavioral symptoms.
-
Parents and caregivers who want to be part of a positive and encouraging community of other parents living life like you.
-
Parents and caregivers who want to move from learning the model into practicing the model in the real world.
-
Parents and caregivers who are ready to make a change in how they approach their child's behaviors.
-
Parents and caregivers who are searching for support that helps their child's behavioral challenges, but also want to feel seen and heard. Parent voices matter too.
-
Parents and caregivers who are willing to be vulnerable and are open to learning more about themselves and why they parent the way they do.
Who It Is NOT For...
-
Parents and caregivers who are NOT caring for a child with neurobehavioral differences.
-
Parents and caregivers who want to vent their frustrations, criticize parenting styles, and are unwilling to invest the time and energy needed to make positive changes in themselves to see the process through.
-
Parents and caregivers who are looking to "fix” their child through a "quick fix" approach or discuss medication treatments. Medical treatment conversations are not part of this community.
-
Parents and caregivers who are unwilling to support and encourage other community members and resist support and encouragement from others.
-
Parents and caregivers who are unwilling to view their child’s challenging behaviors as a symptom of their disability rather than intentional, willful defiance.
