Ep. 12 - Parenting a PDA Child or Teen with an Experimental Mindset
Listen now
Description
This episode describes why allowing yourself an experimental mindset while trying new approaches and accommodations with a PDA child or teen is so important. So you stop judging or paralyzing yourself with a fear of "doing it wrong" or not following some set of rigid rules.So you stop seeking answers that are already within your intuition and capacity to observe in day-to-day life with your child.So you stop comparing your path to other families, whether neurotypical or PDA.So you allow the accommodation practice to be fluid and change as your child does!
