  1. For you, Not your child

    For you, Not your child

    Why do I always put my kids first — until I am completely drained and barely recognize myself? ABOUT THIS EPISODEBurnout sneaks up on Black and brown parents raising neurodiverse kids. There’s this pressure to grind, stay strong, and ignore your own needs while holding everything together for your family. But exhaustion is not just part of life; it's a warning sign that your body and mind can’t be last on the list. In this conversation, Genie and Cassandra break down how burnout shows up in our community, the hidden ways it impacts our health, and what it really looks like to reclaim space for yourself without guilt. For parents constantly in advocacy mode, caring for yourself is not a luxury; it is how you protect your children and model healthy boundaries. KEY TAKEAWAYS Burnout doesn’t always look like falling apart; sometimes it’s feeling numb, disconnected, or doing everything for everyone but yourself.Black women are taught to be strong and never rest, but this grind culture can actually hurt us and our families in the long run.Asking for help, carving out even small moments for yourself, and saying “no” is necessary, not selfish, and helps your child in the end.When you notice you’ve stopped doing things you love, or your inner voice turns harsh, it’s a sign to be as gentle with yourself as you are with your child.Burnout can affect physical health, not just your mood, and Black and brown parents have the right to prioritize their own well-being, even when the world says otherwise.EPISODE QUOTES "It's okay to be sad sometimes. It's okay to be tired. It's okay to experience all the ranges of emotion that come with being a human."— Cassandra "If you can outsource, it’s okay. It does make you less of a woman, make you less of a parent. None of those things."— Cassandra "When it comes to identifying burnout, it’s important to really do some deep diving to get to know yourself and then to treat yourself the way you treat somebody that you really, really love and adore. Like your kids."— Cassandra LINKS AND RESOURCES RESOURCES MENTIONED:Octavia Butler's books — Example of how anxiety shows up in daily parenting life — https://amzn.to/4v7OyV7 FROM GENIE: The Parenting Cipher Beacon Library — https://beacon.by/resources/genie-dawkins/the-parenting-cipher-advocacy-resource-library CONNECT WITH CASSANDRA: Website — Be Well, Sis Instagram — bewellsis_podcast ABOUT CASSANDRA Cassandra Dunbar is a medical doctor, wellness advocate, and host of the Be Well Sis podcast.

    Why Homework Gets harder at the End of the year: How to survive the Last Three Weeks

    Why is homework such a battle at the end of the year—especially when my child is already struggling, and the school's answers don't add up? ABOUT THIS EPISODE Homework always gets harder in the last weeks of school, not because our kids are lazy, but because their brains and bodies are tired from months of pushing through systems that rarely meet their needs. For Black and brown parents raising neurodiverse children, this can feel like one more place you have to advocate alone. Genie breaks down why homework becomes such a fight, why schools may suddenly stop assigning it, and what parents can do right now to protect learning and sanity for everyone. This episode is about changing the narrative: homework time can be reclaimed as a space for growth, connection, and even a little joy, no matter what the school sends home. KEY TAKEAWAYS Schools are moving away from traditional homework, but that does not mean your child is being supported, especially if they’re already behind.Black and brown neurodiverse children often have gaps in skills because the system isn’t built for them; you can use workbooks, dedicated spaces, and routines at home to help your child catch up.You have the right to ask questions, call meetings, and collaborate with teachers about exactly what your child needs to practice at home. Don’t wait for the school to tell you what’s missing.Homework doesn’t have to look like schoolwork; you can turn it into “family co-working” time, making it positive so your child feels included and not punished.Showing your child that learning at home can be joyful helps change harmful narratives leftover from your own school experiences and helps your child feel safe and seen.EPISODE QUOTES "It's the last three weeks of school. Not because your kids are lazy, they're just tired because school's wrapping up. They still have to do homework. They're overstimulated."-Genie "Most often, these children are behind. So this is why my client is so adamant about this homework."-Genie "If you have a neurodiverse child at home and you got them buying in all the way, let me tell you, they will remind you...and that's why I always say it's important that you're having conversations with your child as much as possible."-Genie LINKS AND RESOURCES: Save the School Year Youtube videoSummer toolkit:Rescue the School Year Strategy Session- https://lunacal.ai/geniedawkins/rescue-strategy-session-iep-crisis-planning-call RESOURCES MENTIONED: 10-Minute Rule (Homework guideline)—Mentioned as a way some schools frame assignmentsRecommended workbooks —For filling in skill gaps at home—https://roundups.ai/pub/get-ready-for-summer-2026-with-these-engaging-workbooks-for-special-needs-children-cbbf56FROM GENIE:The Parenting Cipher Beacon Library — https://beacon.by/resources/genie-dawkins/the-parenting-cipher-advocacy-resource-libraryCommunication Kits for Parents — Templates and tools for talking with your child's school — ADD LINK🎙️ Stay connected with Genie Dawkins and The Parenting Cipher!

    Why school Anxiety spikes in the spring-And what actually helps

    Why does my Black autistic or anxious child’s school anxiety get worse every spring, and nothing the school suggests actually helps? ABOUT THIS EPISODE Spring is when many of our kids’ anxiety spikes, and the usual school advice is not made for Black and brown neurodiverse families. For children with an autism or anxiety diagnosis, the end of the year is a pressure cooker. Family fears, generational trauma, and the constant push for our children to “just toughen up” make it even harder. This episode breaks down why standard strategies miss the mark, how anxiety really works in the body and mind, and what Black and brown families can do differently to support self-worth and resilience in their kids instead of just telling them to get over it. KEY TAKEAWAYS Anxiety is not just worry, it’s a leftover fear response the body holds onto even when your child isn’t in danger.Black and brown parents pass down protective anxiety for good reasons, but it can keep our children feeling unsafe and alone at school.You have the right to ask teachers and counselors for specific ways to support your child’s anxiety, not just vague “calming” tips.Naming, instead of shaming, anxiety helps talking about it openly removes the blame from both child and parent, especially in families with a history of trauma.Helping kids notice their own strengths and giving them real agency in problem-solving is more powerful than trying to control every anxious moment for them. EPISODE QUOTES "Anxiety comes with all our other problems, right. It's like, attached to them, and it doesn't really separate from anything because it's so connected to our biology, our mind, our emotions, and really our spirituality, too." — Jodi "When you build that self-trust, you really are healing that trauma. Like our epigenetics says that, you know, when things happen to us, it does change or affect our DNA."— Jodi "The anxiety does not protect us, right? That's important to know."— Jodi LINKS AND RESOURCES MENTIONED: Anxiety...I'm So Done With You (book by Jodi Aman) — A book for teens on understanding and managing anxiety — https://amzn.to/4eM85WiTEDx Wilmington Talk by Jodi Aman — Explains how kids can access sustainable power over anxiety —https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oPojr1MZ7rYJodi Aman’s blog and classes — Parenting, anxiety, and emotional resilience resources —https://www.youtube.com/user/JodiAman FROM GENIE: The Parenting Cipher Beacon Library — https://beacon.by/resources/genie-dawkins/the-parenting-cipher-advocacy-resource-libraryGahmya Drummond-Bay's Love Connections program — https://www.evolvedkid.com/homeMiddle School Matters book — https://amzn.to/3RawY43 Rescue the School Year Youtube video for more tips to end the school year strong: https://youtu.be/lKnNo8qR6GU?si=9DrtddkI6h54OGic CONNECT WITH JODI: Website- https://jodiaman.com/Instagram — https://www.instagram.com/doctorjodiaman/ ABOUT JODI Jodi Aman helps young people and families manage anxiety with practical steps that center on self-worth and resilience, not just symptom control.

    Why Neurodiverse Kids Hit a Wall in the Final Weeks of School

    Why does my neurodiverse child start shutting down, acting out, or refusing work when we’re so close to the end of the school year? ABOUT THIS EPISODE When your child seems to hit a wall in the final weeks of school, it’s not a character flaw or your failure as a parent. Their brains have been in overdrive all year, working harder than most people realize just to keep up — and by May, the tank is empty. For Black and brown families raising neurodiverse kids, this exhaustion can get misunderstood or dismissed by schools, leaving you to carry the blame. This episode breaks down what’s actually happening with your child’s executive functioning, how it shows up at home, and what you can do to support them (and yourself) through the home stretch. Your child’s struggles are not a reflection of your parenting — they reveal what’s missing in the system. KEY TAKEAWAYS When your child’s focus, memory, or motivation falls apart at the end of the school year, it’s about brain fatigue — not laziness or family “problems.”Black and brown neurodiverse kids are often told to just “try harder,” but the truth is, their executive functioning needs to be supported all year, not just when things go wrong.You can make things easier for your child right now by building in external reminders, accountability tools, and frequent breaks — these are your rights, not rewards.Your child asking you to “just sit with them” or needing extra help is not a sign of weakness — it’s actually self-advocacy, and school staff should recognize this too.School systems are not set up for our kids’ needs. You are allowed to question, document, and request the supports your child is legally entitled to, especially when you see them struggle at the finish line. EPISODE QUOTES "That is not a character problem. That is not a parenting failure. That is executive functioning hitting a wall in the final weeks of a nine month school year."— Genie "There's a difference between you managing their diagnosis or their skills versus teaching them how to manage it."— Genie "You want them to build that muscle, that muscle of actually being able to do it themselves."— Genie LINKS AND RESOURCES: To support yourself and family checkout the Parenting Cipher (free) Library for free templates and guides.

Drawing from her experience working closely with families, Genie addresses common challenges—like the end-of-year slump students face—not as shortcomings, but as natural obstacles tied to executive functioning. With empathy and expertise, she reassures parents that struggles during the final stretch of the school year are normal, and offers guidance to support children as they navigate the most demanding academic months. Through her platform, Genie’s mission is to empower families and help every child thrive in both school and life. 🎙️ Stay connected with Genie Dawkins and The Parenting Cipher!

    Beyond Report Cards: Recognizing Progress in Neurodivergent Children

    Do you find yourself worrying that your child’s academic progress—and your own parenting—are being measured only by grades and big milestones? In this heartfelt episode of The Parenting Cipher, Genie Dawkins explores how parents can recognize and celebrate the quieter wins, support their children’s unique strengths, and give themselves grace—all while navigating the pressures of expectations at home and at school. Episode Summary: In this episode Genie Dawkins invites parents to take a step back and look beyond report card letters to the subtle, meaningful growth happening in their children’s lives—and in their own parenting journeys.

She shares stories about her children’s experiences with special education, the importance of validating small victories, and introduces practical strategies like "child mirroring" and "parent mirroring" for reflection and growth. Key Takeaways: Why it’s essential to move beyond letter grades as the sole measure of progress, especially for neurodivergent childrenThe impact of double consciousness on parents’ and children’s expectations of excellenceHow to spot subtle signs of emotional growth, resilience, and self-advocacy in your childWays to use “child mirroring” and “parent mirroring” to recognize internal and often overlooked winsThe importance of praising both your child and yourself for small steps forwardHow slowing down and being intentional can create a more supportive environment for your whole familyLinks and Resources: Learn more about "double consciousness"Parenting resources from The Parenting CipherUnderstanding Individualized Education Programs (IEPs)Child Mind Institute: Emotional Regulation and ResilienceQuotes: "Sometimes the biggest growth our children make is silent. And sometimes the biggest growth we make as parents goes unnoticed too." — Genie Dawkins“Give them praise. Tell them, like, I’m so happy... That’s acknowledging something they may not even acknowledge.” — Genie Dawkins“Slow it down sometimes where you can appreciate what you’ve done for your child and how far they’ve come. Look at the small things, not just the big things, right?” — Genie DawkinsShort Biography for Speaker: Genie Dawkins is the host of The Parenting Cipher, a parent advocate, and special education strategist with lived experience raising neurodivergent children.
