Is Connection the Missing Link in Parenting Neurodivergent Kids?
Is compliance really the goal in parenting neurodivergent kids? Have you ever wondered if there's a better way to connect with your neurodivergent child beyond the conventional methods of rewards and punishments? Today, I reflect on the profound impact of connection in parenting, especially for children with ADHD, autism, and other neurodivergent conditions.
Many believe these kids need strict compliance through rewards and punishments due to their executive functioning challenges. But I challenge that notion. What if the secret to truly supporting our children lies in the strength of our connection with them? I've worked with wonderful families with neurodivergent kids, and I believe that traditional methods might not be the best approach and that connection can foster genuine growth and understanding.

So grateful
So grateful for this podcast. I really want to change my parenting approach to be more kind and caring. I want to build a close bond with my kids now when they are little and I need to break the habits that have been instilled in me since birth. This podcast touches on so many great subjects and gives you great ideas! Like special time!
Must Listen
What I love about this podcast is that they normalize the range of emotions that one goes through after becoming a parent. You gain the insight, skills, & clarity to move forward successfully without feeling judged or guilty. Just by listening to a few episodes, I am able to empathize & connect with my children more calmly. This podcast is a true gift. Thank you Michelle & Gemma! I’m overjoyed by thinking how far we will be able to go. 🤍
Love Michelle’s perspective !
This is parenting at its best! This has really helped with my sibling rivalry issues! She teaches the parent how to teach the child to resolve conflict and I absolutely love her material! Have learned so much and have become a more thoughtful parent in the process!
