21 Mom Guilt to God's Grace: Overcoming Regret About Your Special Needs Child's Early Intervention
Manage episode 483928096 series 3637967
Have you ever thought "If only I had known sooner" about your child's needs?
Do you struggle with guilt over past decisions made before you had all the information?
Are you worried that early unaddressed issues like tongue ties are affecting your child's sleep, breathing, or attention now?
In this short solo episode, we tackle the heavy burden of "mom guilt" - specifically the pain of realizing your child needed interventions earlier than they received them. Drawing from personal experience with my son's undiagnosed tongue tie and its ongoing effects on his breathing, sleep, and potential ADHD risk, I share how to transform backward-looking guilt into forward-moving purpose.
Action Steps to Address Mom Guilt:
1. Practice Compassionate Self-Talk
2. Transform Regret into Advocacy
3. Focus on "Now What?" Instead of "What If?"
4. Celebrate Progress, Not Perfection
5. Find Community That Gets It
