Episode 19: Take Off the Cape (with Tameika Meadows)

For this week's conversation I am joined by Board-Certified
Behavior Analyst, Tameika Meadows. Tameika strongly believes that
when you help a child succeed, you help a whole family. Tameika
currently practices as a freelance consultant, behavior coach,
and Autism Specialist for schools, organizations, and adult day
programs located in and around Georgia. Tameika shares the power
that knowledge, honesty, practicality and accountability have in
providing interventions. We also discuss the challenges of
parenting during this period.  Many parents have been on
emotional rollercoasters for months. Tameika reminds us of the
importance of making decisions based on the 'now' and not what
things 'should be' or what we 'want them to be,' and the role
that being willing to adapt and be flexible has in our ability to
manage this period. She also reminds us that we cannot pour from
an empty cup, and that all parents should take some time to step
back, remind themselves that they do not need to be superman or
superwoman, and take things one moment at a time.
