Parental Self-Care with Louise Clarke

I really enjoyed talking to Louise Clarke of "Your Parenting Partner".  Lousie has a child with ADHD, and is also a parenting coach.  So, the conversation was an interesting one.

In Today’s Episode We Discuss:

• The power of parent coaching
• Controlling our reactivity through self-care
• Losing touch with our own needs because we're focused on everyone else
• Role modeling self-care
• Scheduling self-care
• Busy weeks make it harder to show up for our kids
• The frustration of parenting ADHD
• The isolation of parenting ADHD
• Louise's Son's ADHD project
• Always be curious
• Look for the unmet need in poor behavior
• An expectation is a prediction of the future
• Expect the process, not the outcome
