Runda Ebied, pediatric occupational therapist: Finding self-compassion in parenting
Runda Ebied is a mother of two children and a pediatric occupational therapist. Runda currently works with children with various needs (sensory, emotional, academic, developmental and physical) both in school settings and within their homes. Runda also has experience working with adults in need of mental health support. Runda is very passionate about maternal mental health and children’s emotional and mental well-being.
Key takeaways
- What does a pediatric occupational therapist actually do? (10:16)
- Why we need to normalize motherhood feeling really hard sometimes - it doesn’t mean you’re doing anything wrong or are a bad parent, it’s hard because it really can be that hard (19:58)
- What does it mean to be a highly sensitive person (HSP)? (21:17)
- A HSP is someone who feels things on a deeper level. They are often very intuitive and it's like the volume has been turned up in their ability to feel things and notice changes in their environment and with people. Empathy and HSP often go hand in hand (21:34)
- Once you discover you are an HSP, it’s easier to understand why you respond to certain situations differently than others. Movies or songs for example, can really overcome you (23:56)
- Recognizing symptoms of an HSP in younger kids: 24:30
- Tips for parenting a HSP - validating children’s sensitivity and emotions. Avoiding saying things like, "you’re too sensitive or it’s not that big of a deal” (26:33)
- Giving our kids the skills to know that they can do hard things in life is one of the best gifts we could ever give them (33:45)
- Recommendations for how to keep your cool when your child starts melting down - so easy to become dysregulated when our children are not having a great time (40:41)
