Ever wondered how to transform your parenting approach to better support neurodivergent children? Sarah Fisher, an adoptive mom and author of "Connective Parenting," joins us for our milestone 100th episode to share her insightful experiences. Sarah opens up about her journey with her son, revealing the remarkable impact of Non-Violent Resistance (NVR) techniques in managing challenging behaviors. Together, we unpack the importance of shifting our focus as parents from correcting our children's behaviors to understanding our own reactions, paving the way for more harmonious family dynamics.

Experience the power of parenting through connection and understanding as we explore how emotional regulation can lead to a calmer home environment. From personal stories of managing stress during menopause to handling holiday-induced challenges with neurodiverse children, this episode is packed with strategies for both parents and children to thrive. We emphasize the significance of reconnecting with our kids after conflicts, teaching them resilience and emotional management through lived experiences rather than mere words.

Our conversation touches on the evolving landscape of modern parenting, where emotional awareness takes center stage. Insights from our recent Connective Parenting conference underscore the benefits of a child-paced approach, allowing us to meet our children where they are and support their unique needs. We also delve into the challenges of gaining support from family and friends unfamiliar with this approach, sharing success stories that prove change is possible. Celebrate with us as we reflect on this journey and look forward to future discussions that promise continued growth and shared understanding within our Send Parenting community.
