I don't do well remembering things about lists.

Maybe I need to start taking a picture of the list on my phone before we leave the house.

So you're talking through what you feel like you should have done and you're advocating for what your needs are.

Or at work today, I had this really

kind of tough meeting and I didn't agree with what this person was saying.

And I really wasn't sure if I should speak up, but I spoke up and I think I did a really good job of acknowledging where he was coming from, but also telling him how I do this project differently.

So it's, it's showing your kids that advocacy comes in small ways and big ways.

You know, and I think with kids who have accommodations, it's always good for them to know what those accommodations are.

And it's interesting because I don't think that parents always,

kids about their accommodations, especially younger kids.

And I'm not sure why we don't do that.

And I include myself in that, that there are times where I forgot to do that.

But if you know what your accommodations are, it gets easier for kids to ask for them outright or by a gentle reminder, like, oh, if I have a substitute today, oh, by the way, I always type my assignment on the computer instead of writing it by hand.

So if they know that that's something that they have an accommodation for, they can just be really

you know, gentle and reminding it.

And then there are these other little things that if we set kids up to do little things for themselves, we're setting up to be self advocates.

For example, anything from like doing your own laundry to ordering your own food at a restaurant, that's advocacy, you're starting it.

So I think that if you take it out of, this is just something you do at school, and this is something you do in life, it's a really good way to start those skills.

That was a very long answer.

Yeah, my little one orders pickles, orders without pickles on anything.
