Encouraging Words, Week 1

As mentioned in the previous post, I'm going to be experimenting with recording little audio words of encouragement for parents of kids with special needs every morning. They'll be available on riffr.com, a new audio platform, but since they don't seem to be 100% ready for prime time yet, I'm also going to be sharing these on SoundCloud (from Tuesday of this week until further notice). Every week, I'll start and update a post with that week's audio.

Week of March 11, 2019

Monday: "You Are Strong" from my Love Note for Special Parents. Listen on riffr.com.

Tuesday: Quote from The Challenging Child by Stanley I. Greenspan, M.D., one of my absolute go-to parenting books back in the day.



Wednesday: Wednesday is Worry Day.



Thursday: Website recommendation. This week's pick is The Inclusive Class.



Friday: This week on Parenting Roundabout



Saturday: Quick parenting tip



Sunday: Prayer for the coming week

Words of Encouragement on Riffr

I'm trying out something new—leaving some words of encouragement every morning on a short-audio social-media platform called Riffr. You can check out my page at https://riffr.com/profiles/Terri-Mauro-430. Right now, here's what I'm planning to offer each day:

• Monday: One of my Love Note for Special Parents (listen to the one I put up today).
• Tuesday: A short excerpt from a book I've found valuable
• Wednesday: What I'm worrying about this week, with space for you to share your worries
• Thursday: A website or web article recommendation.
• Friday: A quote from this week's Parenting Roundabout episodes.
• Saturday: A quick parenting tip.
• Sunday: A prayer, for those who value that, in whatever way you want to join in.

All this is heavily subject to change, but it's my initial road map. Listen and tell me what you think (and what you'd like to hear).
