About this episode
This week, I’m joined by the incredible Marissa Taylor, an Aussie, a passionate advocate for neurodivergent children and a mum to five neurodivergent kiddos.She shares how emotional intelligence has completely changed her parenting and why so many neurodivergent children are being missed, dismissed, or even punished in schools - simply for being themselves.We also dive into:? The lens shift parents and teachers need to truly support neurodivergent kids (hello, Dr. Ross Greene!)? Why the mainstream school system often fails kids emotionally and academically? Why so many parents are turning to homeschooling (and whether it might be right for you)? PDA: Pathological Demand Avoidance (or Persistent Drive for Autonomy!), what it is and how to parent a PDA kiddo? How Marissa courageously navigates burnout as an ND family - such profound message in there.This episode is packed with insights, eye-openers, and of course emotional intelligence at the heart of it all. Whether you're a parent, teacher, or just someone who wants to understand neurodiversity better, you neeeed this conversation in your life.? Ready to rethink what’s possible for your child?
