230 // Calming Chaos: Practical Steps for Easing Daily Overwhelm in Special Needs Homeschooling

Ever feel like your days are a whirlwind of homeschooling schedules, therapy appointments, and navigating the unique joys and challenges of raising special needs children? You're not alone. Today, I have something truly special to share – a heartfelt interview of myself with Tim Maudlin, the host of Anchors of Encouragement podcast. In this episode, you'll pull up a cozy chair alongside us as I open up about my family's journey. It's a story filled with love, laughter, and many moments of overwhelm – but above all, it's a testament to the incredible resilience and grace found within families like yours and mine. Together, we'll discuss the realities faced by parents like us: the stress, the financial juggle, the endless therapies, and the emotional weight that comes with nurturing special needs children and offer a beacon of hope. I discuss the systems Steve and I have implemented to bring order to the chaos, a practical roadmap you can adapt to your own journey. Tim and I also discuss the power of understanding each child's unique developmental stage, and how this insight transforms the way you approach their education and emotional needs. Learn how to actively involve your children in creating a harmonious family dynamic, and pick up invaluable tips for building a nurturing environment where everyone thrives. We share how a deep connection to God offers a powerful anchor amidst the storms, reminding us of the immense grace available to us all. And there still even more goodness in here! So, my friend, grab your favorite beverage, settle in, and enjoy this conversation with Tim that is filled with wisdom, love, and grace. XOXO, Katie P.S. Don’t journey alone
