After my last self-advocacy episode, I was asked to dive deeper and talk about facing the fear many kiddos have when it comes to advocating for their needs. I decided to point blank use the word FEAR as an accronym and put a positive twist to it as a means to give you all a guideline for growing that self advocacy muscle, even in the face of fear!! In this episode, you will learn 4 steps to take in order to develop that skill of self advocacy at school, at home, and even in social situations!  Find- a trusted adult to turn to. Educate- yourself on how your beautiful brain works and what tools, strategies and systems work best for your brain!  Act- respecfully and with curiousity as you advocate for your needs. Reflect- on how speaking up for your needs will be helpful and beneficial in so many ways. I hope this is helpful for you all as you face this self- advocacy fear and try it out as a means of practicing self-awareness and voicing how you learn and grow best!!  If you are interested in looking into 1:1 coaching as your next step, I would love to come alongside you on your journey!
