    08. Diagnosing the Environment

    A conversation with Kate Steer at Nurtured Neuro Kids, a neurodivergent family coach and education consultant. We explore her journey as a parent raising a PDA child while reflecting on how her child psychology background has influenced her approach to parenting. Kate discusses the challenges of meeting a child’s individual needs, focusing on conscious and intentional parenting methods. We also talk about common misconceptions in neurodivergent child development and the critical role of creating supportive, understanding environments for children who are struggling, to allow them to thrive, regardless of what, if any, diagnosis the child haspodc. Kate offers valuable insights on the importance of meeting children where they are rather than forcing them into expected roles, helping parents understand the difference between managing vs controlling their child’s environment.
