Lesson Overview

11.32 – How to Advocate Without Speaking Over Your Child: Advocacy must include the child’s voice, not replace it. Parents can represent their child’s needs by first listening to how the child communicates comfort or discomfort. Before meetings with teachers or doctors, involve the child in identifying priorities. During discussions, share their words or drawings directly to preserve authenticity. Speaking for them should never silence them. Advocacy done with humility models respect and partnership. It shows professionals that the family values the child’s autonomy. Over time, children internalize this example and begin advocating for themselves. True advocacy amplifies rather than overshadows the person it supports.
