    EP263: How to Help 2e Kids with Social Skills and Bullying with Elizabeth Smith

    Social struggles are not just about making friends. For many neurodivergent and 2e or “twice exceptional” kids, misunderstood social cues, complex peer dynamics, and hurt feelings can quickly turn into conflict or isolation. In this episode, Elizabeth Smith unpacks what is really happening beneath these interactions and how parents can guide their kids through them with greater clarity and understanding. Dive in to learn how you can help your child navigate social situations, respond confidently to teasing, and feel like they truly belong with peers. What to expect in this episode: The differences between social feedback, teasing, & bullying and why it mattersHow social hierarchies influence behaviors in middle school and beyondWhy neurodivergent kids may struggle to interpret social cuesHow to teach “snappy comebacks” so kids can respond to teasing in real timeWhat to do when teasing becomes repeated or escalates into bullyingAbout Elizabeth Smith Elizabeth, a New York City-based social coach, has a deep-rooted passion for empowering 2e and profoundly gifted children. Her journey into social coaching was personal: she was working as a physician assistant in psychiatry when her own 2e child needed support. Elizabeth discovered the evidence-based PEERS program from UCLA’s Semel Institute. After obtaining certification, Elizabeth conducted further research into best practices for affirming neurotypes and strategies to avoid masking and forced behavior. This developed into her own strengths-based approach, utilizing empathy, acceptance, and current research to empower children to meet their own goals. ​ Connect with Elizabeth Smith Website: 2e Kids CoachingLinkedIn: Elizabeth Smith   Get your FREE copy of 12 Key Coaching Tools for Parents at https://impactparents.com/gift. ​ Connect with Impact Parents: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/impactparentsFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/ImpactParentsLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/impactparents Sponsors "Cognitive Ergonomics from the Inside Out" – A New ADHD Intervention Do you recognize current ADHD interventions fall short?

    Ep257: A Psychiatrist's View on Focus for ADHD Brains with Kourosh Dini

    Waiting until the last-minute panic hits to finally get things done? In this episode, Dr. Kourosh Dini explores why urgency isn’t the only way to activate focus with ADHD. Learn how using pause, play, interest, and agency can replace force-based productivity with something more sustainable and self-trusting. Press play to discover a calmer, connected, and more intuitive way to engage with your work and your life.    What to expect in this episode: ●     Why the pause helps emotions crystallize into clearer thinking and better decisions ●     How a one-breath “visit” can reduce avoidance and rebuild self-trust  ●     What PINCH motivators (play, interest, novelty, and connection) do for ADHD brains that urgency cannot ●     How supporting autonomy strengthens agency and authentic engagement that lasts , especially for teens and young adults     About  Kourosh Dini, MD Dr. Kourosh helps “wandering minds” such as creatives, the anxious, and those with ADHD move from feeling like they have to force themselves to work toward engaging at their own pace while still meeting deadlines. Having navigated his own challenges with focus and productivity, he developed an approach that allows work to feel genuine, meaningful, and even playful. As a psychiatrist, psychoanalyst, musician, father, and husband, he now teaches his students and clients how to build sustainable focus rooted in agency rather than urgency.    Connect with Kourosh ●        Website: Waves of Focus  ●        Instagram: @kouroshdinimd  ●        Podcast: Rhythms of Focus    Get your FREE copy of 12 Key Coaching Tools for Parents at https://impactparents.com/podcastgift   Connect with Impact Parents: ●     Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/impactparents ●     Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ImpactParents ●     LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/impactparents   Sponsors  "Cognitive Ergonomics from the Inside Out" – A New ADHD Intervention Do you recognize current ADHD interventions fall short?
