Mental skills training is common in sports and athletics, but it’s also invaluable for parents raising kids with special needs. Mental skills trainer Carrie Cheadle and I talk about releasing the pressure valve, resilience, redefining success for our parenting and our kids, and adopting the mindset you need to thrive. This is an awesome conversation for every parent, but especially for parents raising kids with disabilities.
