BOOM! What a powerful realization! Everyone has their rate of progression through this process, even within the same household. As ECE professionals, our prior knowledge informs our understanding of our own children and disabilities. Thereby, influencing the rate at which we evolved through the levels of awareness as parents.

Had I known what I know now about this process when I first noticed developmental differences in our son, I would have been more patience with my spouse, who had limited experience with young children and disabilities. He deserved to process information about our son’s development at his rate as opposed to me rushing him to meet my rate of progression. Rushing a parent or spouse is counterproductive, as a rushed process does not assist in the development of parental self-efficacy. Nice Aha moment, LaRae!

My husband and I are facing this process with our toddler son. My husband is struggling with accepting how are child has different needs. I am way ahead of him and we are disagreeing on what he needs a lot. This is helpful for me to see from a “new” point of view.

Hi, Susan!

I am so excited to share! The roles and processes of the families we serve are so layered. The more we understand about the various perspectives of our families, the better positioned we are to provide the service that is most relevant to a family’s needs during the time in their journey in which we engage with them. Time and context are key!

I am looking forward to hearing more about each stage. It is great information to bring as we look at the parent’s journey as well as the child’s.
