Not All Disabilities Are Visible: Parenting Neurodiverse Children

The Parenting Horizons Podcast with Julie A. Ross M.A. and Gregory Abbey

https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/not-all-disabilities-are-visible-parenting-neurodiverse/id1542426353?i=1000671877883

In this episode we talk with author Rebecca Vitsmun about her new book “Eliza Dee’s Universes.”
(https://www.amazon.com/Eliza-Universes-Rebecca-Finch-Vitsmun/dp/1839195258)

As an autistic mother with neurodivergent children, Vitsmun was inspired by her personal experiences to provide an accessible story that inspires creative imagination in readers of all ages and backgrounds.

You’ll not only learn more about autism but also EDS, hyperphantasia and other “invisible” disabilities and how to spot them in your children. And while you shouldn’t rush in to diagnose or label your child, an accurate and timely diagnosis can be VERY helpful. We’ll also discuss what to do first, before getting your child diagnosed.

Kids do well, if they can. If they aren’t doing well, there is something standing in their way. From a practical standpoint that means:

Focusing on your child’s strengths, not their weaknesses
Leaning in with compassionate curiosity instead of pulling back
What a shame spiral looks like and how to avoid it

Finally, we’ll address how to advocate for your child in a school system that may not provide services for neurodiverse children.

It’s Okay To Be Not Okay: Self-care vs. that never ending, ever expanding TO DO list

The Parenting Horizons Podcast
with Julie Ross M.A. and Gregory Abbey

Being a parent is A LOT of work and often very stressful. But there’s stress and then there’s STRESS, and a parent’s relationship to that stress can occasionally dip into unhealthy territory. But if that happens, there are ways to get back into balance and find a healthy way to cope.

In today’s episode we talk with Meredith Ethington, author of “The Motherload: Surviving the daily grind without losing your ever-loving mind.”

We start by debunking the idea that men and women are “wired” differently, and focus instead on how the pressure to conform to societal norms about men and women contribute to the fact that mothers typically bear the majority of the mental, physical and emotional load in families. We offer suggestions as to how mothers can learn to share that load so they don't feel so overwhelmed all of the time.

Finally, we talk about how it’s okay to not be okay. The mental load placed on mothers can sometimes lead to mental health issues and it’s important to talk about this. Destigmatizing mental health issues is critical and parents (partnered or not) do not need to feel shame about needing help. (And don't necessarily have to spend money to get that help.)

The “School Of Hard Knocks”: Fostering Resilience In Your Kids

The Parenting Horizons Podcast
with Julie Ross M.A. and Gregory Abbey

https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-school-of-hard-knocks-fostering-resilience-in-your-kids/id1542426353?i=1000628609638

It’s a fact of life; at some point in their life, your kid is going to get knocked down by circumstances out of their control. But as uncomfortable as that truth may be, there are concrete steps you can take as a parent to foster resilience in your kid, the kind of grit that allows them to get up, dust off and get back on the horse.

In this episode we interview Kate Lund, the author of “Bounce: Help Your Child Build Resilience and Thrive In School, Sports and Life”

We’ll identify the pillars of resilience and ways to help your kid identify and build upon the tools to reduce stress and increase confidence, even in the face of setbacks and disappointment.

Finally, we’ll talk about ways you can model resilience for your kid and how both your child (and you!) can learn to tolerate discomfort.

https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/liar-liar-pants-on-fire-why-do-kids-lie/id1542426353?i=1000624261779

It’s going to happen sooner or later; you catch your kid in a lie. But what do you do? Is it a teachable moment or a warning sign? In this episode we talk with Colleen Doyle Bryant (https://colleendoylebryant.com), the author the book “Rooted in Decency: Finding Inner Peace In A World Gone Sideways.”

We’ll tackle the big questions: Why do kids lie? What are the 4 myths that parents buy into that cause kids to lie MORE? What’s the difference between calling kids out on a lie vs. punishing them for a lie? And what’s the difference between punishment and consequence?

Finally, we unpack why shame never works and we’ll reveal the single most effective phrase to help your child become a good person.

Is TikTok eating my child’s brain?

The Parenting Horizons Podcast with Julie Ross M.A and Greg Abbey

https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/is-tiktok-eating-my-childs-brain/id1542426353?i=1000617294160

Technology is not a “one size fits all” proposition. Children’s developing brains process digital media differently at different stages. The challenge for parents is how to embrace their role as “gate keeper” for younger children and then how to navigate into the role of “support system” as they get older.
In today’s episode we talk with Dr. Katie Davis, (https://katiedavisresearch.com) psychologist and author of “Technology’s Child: Digital Media's Role in the Ages and Stages of Growing Up”
We’ll discuss an effective two-step decision tool that will help you provide support across the full arc of your child’s development, from toddlers to young adults.
We’ll also talk about some of the fears that parents have today that technology can interfere with and disrupt an otherwise healthy attachment between parent and child and how to keep the lines of communication open to find out what your child is experiencing online (hint: no interrogation!)
