Emotional Resilience Preparation for Missionaries 04/27/2022

Emotional Resilience Preparation for Missionaries You’ll get your missionaries suits, white shirts, sturdy shoes, and a bike. But did you teach your missionary how to fail? Do they know which coping skills to use? Do they know how to handle stress? Can they clearly communicate with other young adults? What happens when they get angry? How well can they connect with others? Are they perfectionists? Parents, these skills aren’t on your missionaries packing list, but in my opinion, they are even more important than anything you can find on their packing list. They will learn how to study the scriptures, teach, connect with their Heavenly Father, and stretch spiritually while they serve their mission. But none of that growth will happen without these essential emotional resilience skills. Here are the 10 questions you can ask yourself to see if your missionary has the emotional resilience to serve a mission. /episode/index/show/a6b2c82e-b33b-4f3b-893a-afaee96307b1/id/24668271

Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD) and ADHD 04/20/2022

Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD) and ADHD Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria or RSD is an overwhelming emotional sensation that a person may experience in response to an actual or perceived rejection or criticism.

Creating Success for Your ADHD Kid in School 04/13/2022

Creating Success for Your ADHD Kid in School I used to think that if I was a good parent, my kids would excel in school. I did all the things and all the extra stuff that I thought really made a difference and felt really good about myself. Then I had a couple special needs kiddos. Now I know that my kids success has nothing to do with my parenting. I work really hard with my kids and they do the best they can. School is just a lot more complicated than it ever was before for me and them. For example: Can you list the 8 steps to successfully completing and turning in an assignment? Are you able to accept messy homework and assignments? Do you know how much to break down each assignment to be easily understood by your child? They get overwhelmed really easily with large things to do. Do you understand time dysmorphia? This podcast episode will cover these questions and more to help you be the best support system for your ADHD kid. They need our love and support because they work very very hard and are rarely recognized for their work. I've got you covered and can help you help your ADHD child manage school. /episode/index/show/a6b2c82e-b33b-4f3b-893a-afaee96307b1/id/24668277
