THE AUTISM ADHD PODCAST From Pressure To Progress: How to Provide Praise & Correction That Supports Mental Health
How we talk to our neurodivergent kids shapes how they see themselves and handle challenges—at home, school, and out in the world. In this episode of The Autism ADHD Podcast, I break down the three main ways we give feedback:
✅ Person-focused feedback – Why telling a child they’re "smart" or "lazy" can create pressure, anxiety, and shame. ✅ Outcome-focused feedback – How focusing on results (like grades or a clean room) can lead to perfectionism, fear of failure, or shutting down. ✅ Process-focused feedback – The most effective way to build resilience, self-confidence, and problem-solving skills in neurodivergent kids.
If you've ever wondered how to praise and correct in a way that helps your child, student or client grow, this episode is for you. 💛
