Ruth Episode 36

🎙️ Podcast 36: Choice Overload — Why Less Choice Helps Neurodivergent Kids Thrive at Home

Do you ever feel like your child shuts down or melts down when there are too many options? You’re not alone.

In this episode, we explore:

🧠 What choice overload is—and why it hits differently for neurodivergent brains (ADHD, autism, SPD, etc.)
😣 How too many options can cause anxiety, task flitting, or meltdowns
💡 Why offering just two choices builds autonomy, confidence, and calm
🛠️ Practical takeaways for using the “Power of 2” at home: from mealtimes to playtime, transitions, and chores

✨ Less choice doesn’t limit—it liberates.

🎧 Listen now and try “The Power of 2” tomorrow morning!
