071: Embracing Neurodivergent Parenting: Wisdom for Mothers and Their Unique Children
We may all think and process information differently, but it’s true that some diagnoses make parenting feel a lot more difficult on a day-to-day basis.
You’ll receive a heavy dose of empathy and understanding from this interview, along with some very practical strategies to create an environment in which your children can thrive.
Ginny and I talked about:
- How ND kids struggle with executive function, big emotions, and emotional regulation, but can often be gifted with exceptional creativity, intellect, and problem-solving abilities.
- Why “routines” include both structure and flexibility
- Silver linings and signs you need to get kids to clean the bathroom
- Why a growth mindset must be in your toolbox
- The beauty of suffering, how to infuse challenges with meaning
- Where to find role models with differently wired brains for your kids!
