Episode 4: Advocacy and Teamwork

 

Episode 4 of Intentional Parenting with Arlene Wallace covers the critical topics of parent advocacy and teamwork.

Among other things, parent advocacy involves serving as a good role model. Like it or not, we are always teaching as human beings. How we carry ourselves in a given situation means as much, if not more, than what we say. How we show up matters, because those around us are always learning. If we race about confused and in a rage, people--especially children--will learn to behave this way in a similar circumstance. By contrast, if we exude a loving, calm presence, people learn to be calm. 

A solid parent advocate also leans on the structure and stability of a team. Who are the people you choose to surround and support you and your child? How stable is this support network? These are important questions to ask, questions Arlene learned to ask over time.

Arlene advises all parents to ask for help. No one can do this alone. It is courageous to ask for help, and very, very important. If you need it, please ask for it.
