The transition of diabetes management from parent to child or teen can be a tough one. Now there is a workshop specifically designed for the needs of parents and caregivers who face issues like sneaking food and falsified (or skipped) blood sugars. Whether you’re experiencing difficulties or not, it never hurts to have more tools to help you and your loved ones deal with the emotional roller coaster of Hi/Lows that diabetes can be.
Registration ends on September 14, 2019.
Workshop Date/time: Saturdays from 10:30-12:30pm running September 21, 28, October 5, 12, 19 and 26th
More Info
Here are a few of the topics we’ll address:
- Child/teen is dishonest about blood sugar and other diabetes responsibilities
- Child/teen does not “take diabetes seriously”, even after traumatic events
- You (the parent) don’t know when to step in and help or step back and let your child/teen take the lead (am I doing this right?!)
- Your child/teen doesn’t listen to you
- How to balance diabetes responsibilities with letting your child/teen have a “normal” life
Participants will gain the insight and skills to:
- Offer support & empower your child to own diabetes in a constructive way
- Set boundaries & resolve family conflict without hurting, alienating or feeling guilty
- Implement strategies to successfully transition diabetes responsibilities over to your child or teen
- Handle dishonesty around skipping BG checks &/or taking insulin
- Cope & help your child cope with how much diabetes sucks
