    Redefining Success for Complicated Kids with Dr. Emily King

    In this week’s Complicated Kids Podcast I am joined by Dr. Emily King with some deep insights for parents, teachers, and therapists on supporting neurodivergent kids. Dr. King is a child psychologist specializing in neurodivergent kids and teens. We tackle key challenges, like modifying the definition of success, accommodating different learning styles, and supporting asynchronous development. We provide practical strategies for adults to better understand and assist children in thriving on their own terms, breaking away from rigid cultural expectations of success.   To find out more about Dr. King, visit her website at www.learnwithdremily.com.

We had some issues with connectivity, so bear with the sound issues for this important conversation.   To find out more about Veronica, visit her website at www.treatbodyandmind.com.

    Your True Self is Enough with Susanna Peace Lovell

    This week I am joined by Author, Parent Coach, and mother of an autistic child, Susanna Peace Lovell to talk about her experience raising a child with special needs.   Susanna gets vulnerable with us to share some of the lessons she learned through her experiences with her daughter and how she came to learn that she and her daughter were both on their own journeys in life, and that they were both whole and complete individuals who did not need to be “fixed.” Her work instead was to advocate for her child to be seen for who she is, in all her glory.   To find out more about Susanna, how to work with her and where to find her book, visit www.susannapeacelovell.com.
