Things to Leave Behind in the New Year: A Message for Parents in ABA Therapy
1. Comparing Your Child’s Progress to Others
Every child’s journey is unique. Let go of the pressure to measure your child’s growth against someone else’s timeline. Celebrate their wins, no matter how small.
2.Neglecting Self-Care
You can’t pour from an empty cup. Make space for rest, hobbies, and moments that recharge you—your well-being directly impacts your child’s success.
3.Trying to Do It All Alone
You’re part of a team—therapists, teachers, family, and friends are there to help. Let go of the idea that you have to carry everything by yourself.
4.Focusing Only on Challenges
Shift your attention to what’s working. Recognize your child’s strengths and the progress they’ve made, no matter how gradual.
5.Perfectionism in Parenting
There’s no such thing as a perfect parent. What matters most is showing up with love, patience, and consistency.
Step into the New Year with grace, hope, and confidence.You and your child are growing together—one step, one skill, one moment at a time.
