Advocating For Your Kids When You're a People Pleaser


Listen Later

Are you struggling to advocate for your special needs child because you hate confrontation? You're not alone.


In this episode of Full Spectrum Parent, host Jessica Hurlbut tackles one of the biggest challenges facing special needs parents: how to effectively advocate for your child when you're naturally a people pleaser.


What You'll Learn:

  •  Why people-pleasing hurts your child's advocacy efforts 

  •  The 4 root causes of people-pleasing behavior 

  •  Biblical strategies for overcoming people-pleasing tendencies

  •  How to shift from seeking human approval to God's approval when advocating for your special needs child


Perfect For Parents Who:

  •  Feel anxious about IEP meetings and school conferences

  •  Struggle to speak up when their child isn't getting proper support

  •  Want to be better advocates but fear being seen as "difficult parents"

  •  Need encouragement to prioritize their child's needs over people-pleasing

  •  Are looking for faith-based guidance on special needs parenting
