What if instead of asking, “Why is my child being so difficult?” you asked yourself, “What is my child’s nervous system trying to tell me?” That small shift changes everything.As parents of neurodivergent kids, we’ve all had those moments when our child’s behavior pushes every button we have. The yelling, the defiance, the meltdowns! It’s easy to feel disrespected, rejected, or even attacked. And when that storm hits, our own nervous system often gets swept up, too.In this episode, I share a different path forward. You’ll learn how to pause and anchor yourself in the heat of the moment, how to reframe behavior as a signal instead of a problem, and why repair matters more than perfection. These simple but powerful shifts bring steadiness for you and safety for your child.This isn’t about controlling your child. It’s about grounding yourself so you can show up with the calm presence your child needs. Because when you feel steady, your child feels safer, and that’s where connection, growth, and resilience take root.👉 Tune in now to discover how to handle those button-pushing moments with more calm, compassion, and clarity.You can find additional resources at <a href="http://parentingadhdandautism.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">parentingadhdandautism.com</a> and <a href="https://www.notion.so/1286dd5454258030a412e376595bf094?pvs=21" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Regulated Kids.com</a> — because it’s not just about the struggles, it’s about progress, one step at a time.Show notes and more resources at <a href="https://parentingadhdandautism.com/330" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">parentingadhdandautism.com/330</a>Become a supporter of this podcast: <a href="https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/beautifully-complex--6137613/support?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rss">https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/beautifully-complex--6137613/support</a>.
