Siris Rivas-Verdejo is the host of Choosing a Different Future Podcast. She grew up in a household with parents from different backgrounds raising multiple kids with various disabilities.

Siris helps families communicate effectively within themselves. She also uses tools and strategies that empower families to navigate parenting challenges within their families.

In this episode, Siris, a speech-language pathologist and family communication expert shares her insights on how solo moms can effectively communicate with their children, especially those with certain disabilities.

If you are a solo mom of multiple children and struggling to communicate effectively with them, this episode is for you.

Siris's practical advice will help you build stronger relationships with your children and create a more harmonious home environment.

Here are some of the key takeaways from the interview:

• It is important to be intentional about communication. Make time for regular conversations with your children, even if it's just for a few minutes each day.
• Use visuals to help your children communicate. This could include things like color-coded schedules.
• Get help understanding your child's IEP
• Be patient and understanding. It may take some time for your children to learn new communication skills.

I encourage you to listen to this episode especially if you have children who are disabled. Siris's insights can help you improve your communication with your children and create a more harmonious family environment.
