After removing YouTube from our home about 4 months ago (see previous episode on this in Dec 2023), we had a huge setback this past week. This is a pretty vulnerable episode, I wish I handled myself and the situation better... but, lesson learnt. I know you'll take a lot away from this episode - I speak about boundaries, safety, dealing with big emotions, dysregulation, anxiety and even laughing in the face of a crying child (yep, that was me. Told you I'm not perfect!).Do your kids access YouTube in your home? How does you find it - fine, worrying or downright stressful? I'd love to know.

What can we do when all the usual emotional regulation techniques and strategies fall short for our child? If you've wondered this, you're in the right place.
Alice is an ‘energy plumber’. She unblocks the blocks that people have when nothing else seems to 'work'. In this episode, she speaks about what happens when problems in the body, such as primitive (baby) reflexes don’t integrate into purposeful, functional behaviours. Behavioural challenges, disorganisation, learning difficulties and even anxiety (like with my own child!) can come up.
And so when all the usual “tools” don’t work – it can be life-changing to be open to taking another route. Alice was captured by kinesiology when her son was unhappy, angry, impulsive, yet very bright, within 5 sessions of kinesiology she had a “different child”.
Alice shared a powerful story about a client, a boy she worked with who after receiving kinesiology with her, no longer needed a whole load of supports and plans at school to get through a day, his after-school meltdowns reduced significantly, and he was no longer stuck in a pattern of strict organisation in his bedroom (a coping mechanism of anxiety).
I hope you enjoy this episode and if you’re wondering whether kinesiology might help you and your child, please get in touch with Alice, here are her links:

Kelly Wiseman is the founder of Autisic Gem, an Aussie-based business that support neurodivergent families to go from surviving to thriving. We spoke about parenting as an ND mum, supporting multiple ND kids (in her own home and her clients), tips and tricks to help their executive function challenges and parenting each child in front of you as the individual they are. So much going on in this conversation, I absolutely loved it. Kelly is full of heart and a wealth of information and insight into ND families.Find her work and get in touch here:https://www.autisticgem.au https://www.facebook.com/AutisticGEM https://www.instagram.com/autisticgemau/
