Parenting Disabled Kids in a Multicultural Household w/Siris Rivas-Verdejo

Siris Rivas-Verdejo is the host of Choosing a Different Future Podcast. She grew up in a household with parents from different backgrounds raising multiple kids with various disabilities.

Siris helps families communicate effectively within themselves. She also uses tools and strategies that empower families to navigate parenting challenges within their families.

In this episode, Siris, a speech-language pathologist and family communication expert shares her insights on how solo moms can effectively communicate with their children, especially those with certain disabilities.

If you are a solo mom of multiple children and struggling to communicate effectively with them, this episode is for you.

Siris's practical advice will help you build stronger relationships with your children and create a more harmonious home environment.

Here are some of the key takeaways from the interview:

  • It is important to be intentional about communication. Make time for regular conversations with your children, even if it's just for a few minutes each day.
  • Use visuals to help your children communicate. This could include things like color-coded schedules.
  • Get help understanding your child's IEP
  • Be patient and understanding. It may take some time for your children to learn new communication skills.

I encourage you to listen to this episode especially if you have children who are disabled. Siris's insights can help you improve your communication with your children and create a more harmonious family environment.

Plus...

  • Listen to your "inner knowing" (20:23)
  • Set an example for your kids by prioritizing self-care (20:59)

About the Podcast

SoloMoms! Talk
Connecting the stories of solo moms globally
Welcome to SoloMoms! Talk podcast where solo (divorced, single, married, widowed) moms share their stories and gain a whole new perspective on their own lives.

Host, J. Rosemarie welcomes dynamic guests who share their personal stories as well as offer helpful tips and strategies to solo moms globally, so they can live more joy-filled lives.

This show brings awareness to the unique experiences of moms raising their kids alone.  Because a solo mom is not always "single". She may be widowed like Shaniqua Garvin: https://bit.ly/3tJ5KSv; or divorced like Nicole Lonzano: https://bit.ly/3HVMzdg: or still married like Allison Banfield: https://bit.ly/3Co9InM.

Solo moms make up a whole spectrum of families headed by a woman bearing sole responsibility for raising her children.
___________________________________________________________
The podcast is designed to curate not only the struggles but also the triumphs of solo moms around the world.  Expert interviews help to equip solo moms to become a better version of themselves, better parent/co-parent, and partner.
_________________________________________________________
I want solo moms to know that they are not alone and they don't have to parent in silence.
Mission of SoloMoms! Talk Podcast is to: 
1) bring awareness to the struggles of solo moms; 
2) shine a light on the positive impact they make on their families and communities; 
3) reduce the number of solo moms globally, through education, connection, and self-education; and 
4) to help them see themselves as God sees them.
