Parenting Neurodivergent Kids: Transitions, Discipline, and Connection w/ Polina Shkadron (Ep.18)
Nobody ever said that being a parent is easy, especially the parent of a neurodivergent child… These children have challenges with emotional regulation, executive function skills, sensory processing, communication, social interactions, impulse control, and balance and coordination to name a few.
This is a lot to contend with as a little one and as the parent of the little one because these make managing every day routines, interactions, and achieving milestones and other accomplishments more challenging.
Parenting in general and parenting a neurodivergent child specially, take a lot of love and dedication to doing right for the specific child.
In today’s episode I’m excited to share the remainder of the conversation with Polina Shkadron, a Play Therapist, about parenting neurodivergent children. In today’s part we cover how using specific language gets better outcomes with your child, how to set good boundaries without overusing the “no”, what to do with attention seeking behavior, how to coparent, and how to smoothly do transitions… It’s packed with information on how to succeed at your parenting and create a harmonious and joyful home.
Hope this information serves you and helps you get on the path to your Successful Relationship and Meaningful Life.
