What if traditional parenting methods are doing more harm than good? Join us as we welcome Dr. Naomi Fisher and Eliza Fricker, co-authors of the enlightening new book "When the Naughty Step Makes Things Worse," to challenge popular parenting wisdom. This episode promises a fresh perspective on raising neurodivergent children and the liberation that comes from understanding each child's unique needs. Naomi and Eliza share their personal journeys, illustrating how low demand parenting can transform pressure-filled homes into nurturing environments.

We unravel the concept of low demand parenting, emphasizing the importance of respecting a child's stress limits and sensitivities. Naomi and Eliza argue that good parenting cannot be judged solely by a child's behavior, especially when dealing with neurodivergence. By embracing empathy over control, parents can foster deeper connections and encourage true growth. We also delve into the science behind the genetic and environmental factors that shape our children, urging parents to let go of societal expectations and focus on their child's individual path.

Screen time often gets a bad rap, but this episode reimagines it as a tool for connection rather than isolation. Learn how to engage with your children's digital lives constructively, turning screen time into meaningful moments. We tackle the pervasive fears parents have about their children's futures, discussing the importance of being present and supportive through their unique journeys. Finally, Naomi and Eliza highlight the necessity of authenticity and self-care in parenting, ensuring that we're not only meeting our kids' needs but also nurturing our well-being.
