Writing H.O.M.E. – A New Roadmap for Parents With Kids in Treatment, with Solutions Parenting Support

ABOUT THE EPISODE:
The experience of parenting a child in, or transitioning out of, treatment almost always feels like uncharted territory. And for each of us as individuals, it usually is.

But what if there was a way to zoom out and find patterns within thousands of family experiences? With that insight, we might even be able to predict situations we find ourselves in and prepare appropriately.  

My guests today have done just that.  Hillary Moses and Jen Murphy have a combined 40 years of experience working with kids in treatment and their families.  They are co-owners of Solutions Parenting Support, and authors of the new book H.O.M.E.: Strategies for making home a SUCCESS, during and after treatment.

H.O.M.E. is not just a guidebook to chart the territory you’re in or heading toward. It’s also an thoughtful model to sustain personal growth during an incredibly difficult time.

In this conversation we cover:

• behavior patterns of kids in recovery
• a simple model to apply when you're faced with a situation you don't know how to handle
• navigating boundaries and self-ownership for kids 18+
• and how the self-assessment questions provided by the H.O.M.E. model can keep us grounded and in control.
