About this listen
We’re back with Part 2 of The Checklist and this time, we’re diving into the guilt, the gray areas, and the “just let her have the iPad” moments every parent of a child with complex needs knows too well.
Misty and Mona pick up right where we left off: when your kid with developmental disabilities has outlasted you, your cup is cracked, and Beyoncé is nowhere in sight. From emotional regulation to meltdown recovery, this episode covers the daily standoffs, the soft landings, and why sometimes the most powerful parenting move is stopping the van and giving your child a hug.
🎧 What you'll hear:
Transitions, shutdowns, and choosing your battles
Why our kids know how to “win”
Bribes, beads, and behavior wands
Guilt, grace, and what happens when we don’t follow through
Real behavior science, no jargon, just truth
If your child flips between sweet and sour faster than a mood swing in a candy store ... this one’s for you.
