Listen Later

Ever feel like you're fighting an uphill battle when it comes to helping your child manage everyday tasks? Do you worry that your neurodivergent child may not be able to navigate the complexities of life independently? There's hope! In this episode of Beautifully Complex, we're diving deep into practical strategies for supporting executive functioning in our unique kids, making daunting tasks more approachable and fostering resilience.

I'm thrilled to be joined by executive functioning expert, Carrie Bonnett. Together, we'll explore:
  • Breaking assignments into smaller, manageable parts to aid task initiation and alleviate overwhelm.
  • Effective techniques to control impulsive behaviors and enhance emotional control.
  • Utilizing visual aids to support smoother routines and reduce daily chaos.
  • The importance of celebrating small wins to boost confidence and counteract negative feedback.
Creating a supportive, neuro-affirming environment is key to unlocking your child's potential. We'll guide you through actionable, step-by-step advice to help you set up strategies and supports, enabling your child to gradually function independently and thrive.

Tune in to this episode for a compassionate, practical guide to transforming daily struggles into opportunities for growth and connection. Let's work together to turn worry into hope and frustration into success.
