If you are parent of a child of any age with bipolar disorder or schizoaffective disorder, I hope you will join me on my closed Facebook page The Stable Table<\/a>. (Partners can join me on The Stable Bed<\/a>.)<\/p>\n The following article gives an outline of the system I teach to my coaching clients. \u00a0It is possible to help a child who refuses help. It is possible to keep yourself healthy while trying to navigate the world of a child who has all of the symptoms of bipolar or schizoaffective disorder, but refuses treatment. Here is the opening paragraph and a link to the BP Magazine article:<\/p>\n ***Excerpt***<\/p>\n You\u2019re supporting an adult child with bipolar. What are your<\/strong> needs?<\/p>\n This is the most important question I ask parents in my coaching practice. Parents are used to talking about what the child with bipolar needs. Rarely do they stop and think about what they need as parents. These needs can get lost and, in some cases, stay lost forever.<\/p>\n My goal is to help parents figure out what they need. Then they can discuss these needs\u2014openly\u2014with their child. At first, this can be very scary.<\/p>\n \u2014If I tell my child what I need, this will make my child really sick.<\/em><\/p>\n Click the link to read the full article.\u00a0Reciprocal Relationships: Parenting Your Adult Child While Meeting Your Needs<\/a><\/p>\n One of my first articles on this topic is called The \u2018Hijacked House\u2019: Tips for Parents of Adult Children with Bipolar Disorder Living at Home<\/a><\/p>\n Oh, the relief you will feel when you know you’re not alone if you feel that your child, someone you love very much … has actually taken over your house and you feel like a hostage to his or her illness.<\/p>\n Finally, when it’s time to talk with a health care professional about an child, teen or adult kid with mental health symptoms, knowing how to report these symptoms in a way that actually gets your point across to a health care professional is essential. My article\u00a0When Your Child Needs A Therapist: How To Effectively Report Symptoms <\/a>teaches you to clearly and succinctly tell YOUR experience of the symptoms \u00a0you see in a child.<\/p>\n I also post my articles regularly on my Julie A.
