Why is everything so hard?

Result: Demands are piling up.

Demands are piling up.

 

It's all so hard. It's been this way so long. To respond, you have picked up the pace. More therapies, more interventions. There has to be a solution out there if you all try hard enough. But right now, your biggest struggle is the impact of this pace, and the many demands you and your child are juggling.

 

I define a demand as anything that is too hard in this present moment. The "too hard" feeling creates a panic response in your nervous system, and the cumulative effect of living in the too-hard-zone for too long is that our nervous systems become brittle and inflexible, flipping out at even tiny provocations. 

The answer is not to work harder and do more. It is actually to slow down, get in touch with what really matters, and start letting things go.

Your Next Step:

Ask: What actually matters most?

 

Demands are piling up because everything seems to matter. Food, sleep, therapy, behavior plans, school strategies, sibling interventions, diagnoses. It's all important. It's all urgent.

Except it's not working. 

You are exhausted, and your child is struggling. They are telling you with all these behaviors that something needs to change. That they are not OK. 

Can you slow down enough to sit with your true self and ask, "What actually matters the most right now?" What is your deep "why" for this season with your child? Is it connection, trust, safety, calm? Is it communication or regulation or simply surviving the day?

What matters most?

Why Start Here:

Excessive demands break down connection.

 

When the day is full of "have-to's," when you're pushing your child over and over and over again, they live consistently outside their zone of tolerance. Meltdowns can be more severe and can pop up at seemingly random times. You never know when they will meltdown, so you live on eggshells, waiting for the next disaster.

It Doesn't Have To Be Like This.

You can learn to let things go.

 

Before our lives were transformed by my son's burnout and my own diagnosis with PTSD from parenting, I was go-go-go. As a perfectionist, I only knew try-harder, work-harder. 

But you can find a new way.

Hi, I'm Amanda.

 

I'm so glad to be connected to you. I'm an autistic adult who has walked through my own burnout and burnout for my middle child. I have recovered from C-PTSD from parenting a severely dysregulated child, and created the Low-Demand Parenting method to help thousands of parents transform their lives and their families with radical connection.
