Your First
Stumbling Blocks
Stumbling blocks get in the way of your success. They sound like something you would not want to have. But really, you are supposed to run into stumbling blocks. If you don’t run into any stumbling blocks, you and your child are not learning. Stumbling blocks are a signal that true learning is about to occur.
CONFUSION
You might not know which Goal or Objective to choose. It might feel like there are too many choices.
Or, you’ve chosen a first step, but you don’t know what it should look like. Maybe you started out successfully, and then you got stuck. Welcome to learning! All of these experiences can happen.
ANXIETY & STRESS
You might be avoiding that first step because you're afraid of failing. You might be thinking that getting it wrong will affect how your child feels about you. Maybe your child’s other parent is not on board yet, and you’re feeling alone. These experiences part of the process.
RESISTANCE & FRUSTRATION
You might be hesitant to start or take the next step because you are already just managing to get through the day as it is. You might have too much on your plate right now. Maybe you’re angry with your child, your child’s other parent, or with yourself.
MISPERCEPTION & STRUGGLE
You might think that being a parent was just not supposed to be this hard. Maybe you wonder if you were given the wrong child. If your child has a disability, you might think that professionals are supposed to change your child, not you.
