Clare and I will be looking forward to catching up with some of our regular parents (and hopefully welcoming some new parents to our support network). Our morning session starts today at 9.30am and is at Adeyfield Community Centre in Hemel Hempstead. We will be looking at 🌟Empathic Communication🌟as our focus topic of learning. Do join us over a hot cuppa - we look forward to seeing you there 🙌
When you begin the task of working through the stack of unopened post, after being away, and find this card from one of your besties 👩‍❤️‍💋‍👩 The words say it all 🙌 My drum is definitely beating to a different roll right now, but I haven’t forgotten all of those special people who up until now we did things together and have been incredibly important to our journey so far. We still do have those happy times together, they just have to be meticulously planned and with a degree of flexibility to them. Friends like these understand when I cancel on them at the last minute, when things are tricky or when life just gets in the way altogether. These ray of sunshines make me smile and remind me of all of the nights we have shared dancing with our shoes off around our handbags 👜 Or the times we shared wearing matching handkerchief tops and cowgirl hats as we boarded the plane for one of our numerous girly holidays (eek cringe! Who thought that was fashion?!🤷‍♀️) And I am smiling right now about the one ‘Yelly’ story you like to embarrass me with by telling anyone new that we meet! Yes you still do that!!! I miss those times and I hope one day we may make some new memories from holidays and special times still to come. We will find our silver linings together. Thank you dear friend, today you made me smile😍 #friends #friendship #supportnetwork #lifequotes #senblog #senblogger #autism #autismawareness #inspirationalquotes #inspiration #pathologicaldemandavoidance #ig_autism #ig_mama #igmom #parenting #parenthood #singlemum #singlemom #blog #blogger #ig_blogger #ukpbloggers #parentblogger #ig_parenting
I support @themumonamission @theinclusivehome and all of the fantastic parents who have helped to raise this issue go viral. #changingplaces #dearmarksandspencer
🌟Just a reminder to parents🌟 We have our next support session for the Parent Network on Monday morning at Adeyfield Community Centre at 9.30am where we will be looking at using ‘empathy.’ This is a drop-in session for parents/adoptive parents/grandparents caring for children and young people with either a diagnosis of or awaiting diagnosis of Autism, PDA and/or Anxiety. No need to book and there is no charge, so do join us over a hot drink in a warm, friendly and supportive environment 😉 Feel free to get in touch if you would like to know more 😊
Yesterday I enjoyed an impromptu day out with these two at a small dinosaur themed park. I chose a day when the weather was not the best and children were at school to avoid any crowds. So much thought, preparation and PDA techniques have to go into any activity that you feel exhausted before you’ve even gone past the door. However, I can honestly say that yesterday was one of our better days. The park was empty (a little Brucie Bonus for me), the equipment was for climbing and not queueing and we went through a dinosaur exhibition that they were completely engrossed by and stimulated their play ideas when they got home. I had lots of memory flashbacks to when they were small and I used to manage days out, we practically might have well moved in at the zoo for the amount of days we used to be there! However, the last few times recently we attempted the zoo my daughter was like a dog to a bone, constantly driven to block or sabotage any play areas with other children, one time resulting in another mum approaching me with a stern face, “does THAT girl with the red hair belong to you?” Then I had the transition home, trying to get past the shop at the zoo exit, as she was already in full overload. I was given a busted eyebrow and lip and still had to get past all of the onlookers to make it to the safety of the car. We have had to give up these things because they just became too difficult and the sensory overloads were too intense. So with the assistance of having boss baby looked after (I find separating is often the only solution to make things work), yesterday was actually full of smiles and sibling bonding despite my natural fears. It still had its moments but we managed to pull through them. I loved this picture so thought I’d share it 💕 #girlswithautism #autismgirls #autism #autismawareness #pathologicaldemandavoidance #asd #adhd #adhdparenting #ig_parenting #ig_mama #ig_kidsgram #ig_senblog #ig_senblog #igmom #lifeasmama #igmama #senblog #senblogger #snaphappybritmums #autismmum #autismfamily #outdoorphotography #outdoorplay #ig_photooftheday
