Your Parenting is Different Because your Child is “Different”

The traditional style of parenting is becoming outdated as our knowledge of child development grows.?

As parents of neurodivergent children, you want to understand your child, not change them.?

Traditional parenting tells us that if we don’t like a behavior our child is showing, we need to correct it and change it. This is farthest from the truth when it comes to neurodivergent children.?

Instead of trying to change a behavior, identify why they have this behavior and what triggers it.?This is a great read about this topic!

Here are some questions you can ask yourself when trying to understand their behavior:

• What has happened in the last hour that would create a reaction like this?
• What is an alternative solution I can offer my child right now to reverse the behavior?
• Is this a recurring behavior that happens every time X happens?

There is no right way to parent, but we are always looking for ways to understand our children more and create boundaries for them that help them grow.
