CALLING ALL PARENTS
Through Their Eyes:
Understanding Your Neurodivergent Child
Discover the profound journey of connecting deeply with your neurodivergent child and see the transformative impact it can have on your family.
A Glimpse into Their World: Feel, Hear, and See Through a Neurodivergent Lens
The Power of Connection: Understanding the Impact
01
Challenges of Not Connecting
Imagine the pain and isolation felt when your child’s unique way of experiencing the world is overlooked. This disconnection can lead to profound emotional distress and missed opportunities for growth.
02
The Ripple Effect
The gap in understanding can strain your relationship, affecting family dynamics and your child’s social development. Bridging this gap can transform your interactions and enhance mutual understanding.
03
A Path to Harmony
By embracing your child’s perspective, you foster an environment where they can thrive. This understanding is crucial for their confidence and your peace of mind.
Understanding Each Other
Imagine a world where every color feels louder, every sound paints a picture, and every touch narrates a story. This is often the reality for neurodivergent children, a vivid contrast to the neurotypical experience. By understanding these differences, parents can transform everyday interactions into meaningful connections with their children.
Start simple conversations about feelings and surroundings, which can help bridge the perceptual gap. Activities done together can be enlightening, allowing both parent and child to note how certain environments affect them differently. This sharing not only builds understanding but also strengthens the emotional bond.
In this workshop, you will learn:
Part 1
Challenges
When there are challenges communicating or relating to each other, it can have profound effects on the relationship, empathy, and even mental health of both parent and child.
Part 2
Managing Expectations
Neurodivergence is unique to each child, and so is their path to success. This makes it crucial to manage expectations, and resist the urge to draw comparisons with other children.
Part 3
The Four Pillars
There are four main tenets, or pillars, that form the foundation for a strong, deep connection between parent and child. Learn powerful strategies to understand and grow with your child, instead of struggling against each other.
Part 4
Sustained Connection
Now that your bond and understanding are stronger, learn longer-term systems to empower your child, and maintain your connection into adulthood and beyond.
