SUMMARY:The Art of Parenting...with Autism
DESCRIPTION:The next Art of Parenting…with Autism group meets Thursday\, September 19 from 10:00 – 11:00 a.m. online via Sinneave Connects. \n\n\n\nEach Art of Parenting session focuses on different aspects of parenting through the lens of being Autistic and/or parenting Autistic children. Participants will receive encouragement\, support\, and practical short and long term strategies for navigating parenting in the healthiest way possible\, with a focus on self-care and compassion. \n\n\n\nThis particular session will focus on educating families to recognize when stress has become too much and sharing strategies for reducing both household and individual stress. Attendees will learn the “Traffic Light Method”\, which is a helpful calming technique for kids and pre-teens that the facilitator uses with her own children. It is highly effective and works for many children.  \n\n\n\nThese sessions intend to educate\, empower and encourage parents on their journey\, as well as create a safe community of ongoing support. Participants will benefit from the practical information provided each session as well as the connection of others who share similar experiences. \n\n\n\nDuring this session\, Sinneave staff\, guest presenters\, and attendees may share information about community resources. Information provided may not always be accurate\, up-to-date\, or reliable. Attendees are encouraged to be critical consumers of information available on the internet. Providing information about a community resource is not endorsement and Sinneave does not assume any risk for the outcome of using the information shared during this session. \n\n\n\nThis session is FREE and entirely virtual\, via our Sinneave Connects online learning platform. \n\n\n\nIf you already have a Sinneave Connects account\, just log in as usual.

She is passionate about supporting and encouraging other families so they don’t feel alone in their journey. Her personal experience in parenting children both on and off the spectrum informs the work she does as a Program Facilitator with The Sinneave Family Foundation\, knowing that\, while books\, resources\, and professionals are helpful\, connecting with someone with lived experience and who “gets it” can be truly empowering. \n\n\n\nIf you have any questions about this event or if you need support navigating Sinneave Connects\, please email info@sinneavefoundation.org or call 403 210-5000.
