Anne and Jeff Munson are parents to four teenagers on the Spectrum. They were living in a hormone hurricane of constant dysregulation (theirs and the kids), police involvement, and challenges at school. Anne was talking back to her kids talking back to her and Jeff was trying to hold on and shore up the dam from bursting. They felt judged. They felt they were horrible parents. Their kids weren’t listening to them. The teachers didn’t understand them. After 17 years of trying everything, one of their kids told Anne they needed to go to parenting school. And they did.
In this episode, you will find out where they went, what they discovered, what changes they made, and what results they have seen in themselves and in their kids. They also talk about their proudest moment when the school went from not listening to Anne to inviting her to train their special education staff!
They still have challenges, but they are better equipped to manage them. And you can find that balance too. Check out this episode for details.
