The Importance of Load Demand

Two years ago, my middle son was six and they were going through a really hard mental health moment that moved into what we now know is autistic burnout. And those things felt to me like failure with the model that I had my old pre load demand parenting model. The birth of the load demand approach was really in surrounding this little one with love and acceptance. When all they could do was stare at kind of pop culture YouTube for 12 hours a day and eat pretzels and Nutella. That's what low demand is all about.
