207. The Behavior Puzzle; Grace Under Pressure
Dec 05, 2024
In this episode of Not Your Average Autism Mom, Shannon dives into one of the most challenging aspects of raising a child on the spectrum—managing behaviors. With heartfelt stories from her own journey as Jordan’s mom and insights from moms in the NYAAM community, she explores how to balance understanding and validating your child while setting clear boundaries and expectations.
Shannon shares practical strategies for managing meltdowns, teaching replacement behaviors, and building your resilience muscle along the way. You’ll learn why
it’s okay not to have all the answers and how every twist and turn is an opportunity for growth—for both you and your child.
Whether you’re navigating aggression, sensory challenges, or emotional outbursts, this episode reminds you that you’re not alone. Together, you and your child will figure it out, one step at a time.
And as always, YOU, Mama, are doing AMAZING at this MOM thing.
Tune in for encouragement, strategies, and the reminder that you’re stronger than you think. 💙
