Your Child Is Not A Reflection Of You – Dropping The Guilt And The Pressure

Originally Aired Mon, 02/27/2012 - 2:00pm

Most parental guilt and pressure stems from seeing everything your child does or accomplishes (including autism progress) as a reflection of you. Raun and Kristin spend this show helping you find a way out of this unpleasant cycle. Your two hosts also argue over which gender most often chooses a partner to look good (to themselves or others), invent products that enable us to read people’s minds, and celebrate our kids. Kristin explains how doing something quite surprising can help you to boost your confidence, ace that presentation, score well on that test, and be more successful overall. Raun concludes the show with a controversial sound-off entitled, “Stop Trying To Turn Our Children Into Robots.”

AutismOne is a private, nonprofit, 501(c)3 organization with its primary mission of helping children and families within the autism spectrum and related conditions. AutismOne is an educational organization, and all lectures, information, and presentations are for informational purposes only. No information on this website nor any AutismOne related event should be construed as medical and/or legal advice or recommendations. We strongly advise that all children needing specific medical or legal advice seek counsel of a duly licensed professional. Every child is unique, and to attempt to address complex medical issues without a trained and experienced expert is akin to a lay person attempting to perform surgery without any training. Doing either would risk serious (and in some cases could have irreversible) consequences.
