church, other, you know, a therapist, mentors, you know, uh Al Anon groups, like places where you feel really supported so that when you come home and you're diligent in your parenting, you're not so overwhelmed that your child is sensing like, Oh, I need to take care of you.
You know, th you're not emotionally available here.
You're feeling too preoccupied to really be with me.
So let me take care of you.
We want to definitely not do that.
That
key question for your audience, Debbie.
And I think I would always start with looking into the resources within your community to validate what your child experiences or what their behavior is.
So for instance, I know in Orange County, when it comes to the Orange County school districts, um and maybe even just the state of California.
You know, when you ask for educational testing in at in the public school district, even if you're in a private school within your public school district, you write a letter and within ten days the school psychologist for that school district has to contact you to start setting up appointments for an evaluation.
And so having evaluations and different tests that have been evidence-based and validated help a parent that doesn't understand, you know, a child that's differently wired to better understand.
Because sometimes people need more evidence and education to really comprehend the situation for their child.
And you can't deny it when a medical doctor or three weeks of a battery of d of tests that have come out of a school district says, hey, your child has ADHD or your child is highly gifted and actually is bored and is needing more sub you know, something else.
I think to lean on that is really helpful.
And if you haven't had those kind of resources already put in place, then in a co-parenting situation, go find it.
And sometimes it's it's worth the money as well if you can outsource to a psychologist that's that does that testing.
Or if not, you know, look to your local school school district.
Another good resource is also developmental pediatricians.
A lot of people don't realize they go to their regular pediatrician, but developmental pediatricians are highly skilled in understanding what is appropriate at different developmental stages for their child.
And so having that extra expertise with your child evaluated can also be very eye-opening too for parents.
