With globalization and technological advancements, the job market is changing. Roles that were once in high demand are now disappearing as automation and AI continue to replace human workers.
As a behavioral assistant, one of my biggest regrets has been not sharing my story with the families I’ve worked with. My focus was always on supporting the youth and their families, putting their needs first. I felt that my personal journey was irrelevant to providing effective care. However, reflecting on my own experience as a child in the system, I realize I missed an opportunity to connect on a deeper level with the families I served.
Parenting is no small task. Learning to parent and balance your life altogether can be challenging, but at the end of the day, it’s all worth it, and you deserve to give yourself a pat on the shoulder for taking up the task.
Starting a journey with your client as a behavioral assistant can be both a fascinating and terrifying experience. How you set the pace and perception the families you work with have will determine the effectiveness and outcome of the process.
