Overcoming Emotional Barriers to Success for Neurodivergent Children & Teens
Listen now
Description
Join Brendan Mahan and I as we chat about how each time failure occurs emotions can build. Shame, guilt and disappointment can lead to more and more bricks in each child's walls. The Wall of Awful is the emotional barrier that prevents neurodivergent kids from initiating tasks and taking the risks necessary to reach their goals. We talk in detail about how these walls are built and the strategies to help get over them, around them or through them!  I'm hopeful that this episode will help bring even more understanding and support for the mental health of neurodivergent children and teens.  ❤️ Holly- The Mom/Psychologist Who Gets It Holly's ONE STOP RESOURCE - Social skills guide, Behavior Guide, and MORE!
