Teaching Kids About Others who have Special Needs
Episode Number:
035
Show:
Parental Power 
In our previous episode, we were joined by LeeAnn Taylor, who is a mother of five children. Three of those have fragile X syndrome. LeeAnn is with us again today to help us teach our kids about special needs of others.
Siblings of children who have special needs often feel neglected or misunderstood, or that their parents are not available to them. For children who do not have siblings with special needs, they will have opportunities to encounter and interact with kids with special needs as well.
It helps children to understand the needs and then to receive something special themselves. It gives them opportunities that are unique, special, and just for them.
It helps them build confidence that they can handle it, and that they can make a difference in someone else’s life. Find LeeAnn at www.leeanntaylorstory.com.

Tantrums are nothing more than inappropriate attention seeking. Although unpleasant, they are fairly quickly managed when you take away the pay-off for the child. In today’s call, Dr. Paul and Darren Johansen discuss this typical issue, along with a little brainstorming of various stage 1 and...

What we say to our children can make a big difference in how they feel about themselves. Perhaps a more fundamental issue is what we have named them in our own mind. The name we choose for our kids, or ourselves for that matter, determines our reaction to them. If you have named your child...
