65: Parenting a Differently Wired Child with Debbie Reber


Listen Later

Author, speaker, and mom, Debbie Reber knows what it's like to have a kid who has the biggest meltdowns, receive regular calls from the school about her kids "behavior" and all the things most of us know so well, too. 

 

In this episode, Debbie shares the shift she created that started decreasing the frustration, the anxiety, and the tears she and her son both felt with all of those struggles. 

 

Debbie has coined the term "differently wired" to explain that kids with or without a diagnosis, who may be developing atypically, don't have to be seen as "difficult". She started seeing this shift in herself when she focused on the gifts her son's brain is naturally wired for, and how she could help him use those to catapult his learning in other areas. In this episode, she shares all of that with us as well. 

 

In this episode you'll learn;

  • More about how to implement this powerful mindset shift into your life
  • Why that shift can make a huge (and positive)  impact on your child's development
  • How current social trends can be triggers for us as adults and how to combat those
