Here we go with Episode 2 in which we talk neurodiversity, bribery, incentives and rewards; and, of course, tea.

• Bea reflects on how amazing it is when other adults are able to adapt and respond to our child's specific needs.
• Together, we discuss and explore the common parenting tools of bribery, incentives and rewards, inspired by Jane's live debate on ITV's This Morning show.
• Finally we share practical tips to support you as you find alternative ways to raise children without breaking your connection.
