Episode notes
Early Signs Of Different Wiring
- Debbie noticed her son was unusually intense and hard to soothe from infancy and preschool years.
- That led her to seek many books, evaluations, and feel judged before recognizing his different wiring.
Pause Before You Judge
- Parents often compare themselves and judge others without knowing underlying challenges.
- Debbie asks parents to pause and reframe judgments to see the child having a hard time rather than bad parenting.
Lean Into Who Your Child Is
- Practice leaning into who your child is instead of fighting them and their timeline.
- Notice expectations causing fear and intentionally pivot to appreciate the child's current abilities every day.
