On The Hard Days
Ep. 96 (Part 1) Mom Tahira Benevelli on Shedding Generational Patterns by Being "Emotionally Messy" With Our Neurodivergent Kids
About This Episode: Sometimes, a conversation is just so juicy that it needs two parts! This one, with mom Tahira, is one of them. I think you're going to absolutely LOVE this episode. Tahira is a former "authoritarian" parent, relearning who she is, what she values, and what works best for her kids' brains. I can completely relate to her story and I think you will, too. Here are just some of the topics we discussed:
-Giving tools to our kids is really about needing those tools for ourselves
-Growing with our children
-Balancing the needs of multiple ND kids
-Going back to old patterns when we're stressed
-How understanding your kid's brain changes everything
-Why are some kids compliant and others aren't?
-When the way you were raised doesn't work for ND kids
Please shower Elle with love and support by SHARING this episode with a mom who needs to hear her story!
