Confessions of a SEND parent!!
This was actually a couple of weeks ago but I wasn’t sure whether to share it! However, after having more conversations in sessions & online with parents this week going through similar stresses & challenges I thought I would share it. So you know you’re not alone if you have bad days too.
Sleep disruption when you’ve got a child with additional needs prevents the toning down of emotions attached to events; heightening PTSD!
Movement is so important to feel better. It calms a stressed system by rebalancing the brain & nervous system by increasing endocannabinoids & serotonin while burning off the increased adrenaline!
Feel stressed & anxious because of events tied to traumatic hospital events?? Do yourself a favour and get outside and move!! You’ll feel better for it!!
If you can relate to this and are able to, please share or comment, let other families know they’re not the only ones going through similar!
Ps - please share with anyone you feel can relate too!!
Move better, think better, live better!!
