What if societal norms are holding our neurodivergent children back? Join me as I break down the conventional molds and explore why it's time to celebrate the unique ways our children interact with the world. I challenge the necessity of making kids sit still during circle time or play with toys in a standardized manner. Inspired by the Conscious Parenting book by Shojays and Polizzi, I dive into the phenomenon of tall poppy syndrome, particularly in Australia and New Zealand, and its impact on parenting styles. Discover the importance of raising emotionally intelligent, resilient, and healthy children, and understand the pitfalls of instinctual parenting—whether it's undoing, redoing, or living through your children.
Ready to transform your parenting journey? My conversation emphasizes self-care for parents, the crucial need to heal from childhood traumas, and the role of parents as guides rather than fixers. Learn practical tips for nurturing yourself daily, which in turn fosters a healthier connection with your child. I also discuss the significance of building strong parent-child relationships by genuinely listening to and following your child's interests. For parents of teens, patience and authentic interest are key. Begin your expanded parenting journey now and remember, nurturing yourself is the cornerstone to a meaningful relationship with your child.
