I am a counsellor and parent of special needs children. I completely understand some of the challenges of navigating caring for children that learn differently or that have challenging behaviour at home. I would like to offer a free facebook live for questions and or a sense of community, on my business FB Lindsay Trowell Counsellor and Coach, during this time of unease, routine disruption and unknown. I was wondering if I could have some feedback as to what times would be best for the parents out there that could benefit. I also wanted to let families that receive Autism funding know that your family is eligible to apply for counselling services ( by approved providers ) paid for by Autism funding should you feel that your family or child need some emotional support during this time

Great article on life's transitions. Something that really stood out for me is changes in parenting that allow us to really assess who we are as individual women. It's those moments of quiet when mommy, mommy, mommy, isn't invading the sound continuum any more.. that we really begin to reflect. What we want, what we need and where we want to be. The silence allows us to grow again, be ourselves and invest into our own needs for a change. 40s allows us to say.... sit down, shut up and listen to me, its my turn.

Often its our non-verbal ques that can ignite a challenging situation. This is great training for any service provider or parent to help keep ourselves and our kids or clients from physical altercations.
