Sometimes it's easy to ask for help at home and with those we feel comfortable with, but when it comes to asking for help or educating others in a respectful way in a space or place that raises challenges, that is a little more tricky!!

In this episode, you will start by hearing a fun Beetles song that speaks into the desire for HELP and then we quickly transition into talking about this timely topic of the skill of self-advocacy! This is a skill many kiddos have a hard time practicing and carrying out in the school environment especially! I want trusted adults to lean in too as there are some cases where there needs to be advocacy right off the bat to help teachers best understand the WHY behind behaviors seen at school or unseen challenges that often go unnoticed! We want to be advocating at every level in hopes of setting up an environment to thrive in!

Remember these 3 things to practice self-advocating...

1. Stay curious
2. Sum up clarification
3. Seek support

I hope these are helpful practices as you start this new school year! I would love to dive deeper with you as an advocate by your side. If that support sounds like a next step you'd like to take, hop on my consultation schedule www.katelynmabry.com. You can also reach out with episode topic ideas or if your kiddo would like to be a guest on a future episode! You are seen and loved!
