Developing Your Child's Self-Esteem and Identity | Webinar Replay
In this special replay episode of ThriveAbility, Dr Hannah Dennis explores one of the most important gifts we can give our neurodivergent children: a strong sense of identity and healthy self-esteem.
Many neurodivergent children grow up feeling "different" without understanding why. Over time, repeated experiences of being corrected, misunderstood, or struggling to fit into environments designed for neurotypical people can impact how they see themselves.
In this webinar replay, Hannah discusses:
- The difference between identity ("Who am I?") and self-esteem ("How do I feel about who I am?")
- Why neurodivergent children are at greater risk of low self-esteem — and why the problem is often environmental, not personal
- How parents become their child's first mirror and help shape how they view themselves
- Moving from a deficit-based view of neurodivergence to one that celebrates difference, strengths, and individuality
- Practical strategies for building confidence, resilience, and self-worth at home
- Why special interests, strengths, and passions are so important for wellbeing and identity
- How repairing relationships after difficult moments helps children develop emotional security
Most importantly, this episode reminds us that neurodivergent children do not need fixing.
They need understanding.
They need acceptance.
They need opportunities to discover who they are and feel proud of becoming that person.
If you've ever worried about your child's confidence, their sense of belonging, or how they see themselves in a world that doesn't always understand them, this conversation is for you.
