This week Nikko Sadlowski joins me to talk more about his work with families who are facing the reality of having a child with autism and families who are struggling just to connect with each other. We also explore the power of taking a child-centered approach to parenting.
The saddest part of his journey losing his friends because they were tired of him always talking about autism
The difficulty of finding empathy and understanding for families who have special needs children
Working with different men and trying to figure out how to connect in a way that helps them grow
Helping fathers who say “I want to be a good father but I didn’t have a good role model”
Parenting each kid differently and discovering who I am as a dad
Taking a child-centered approach to being a dad
Letting your children guide you to discover their interest and gifts
You don’t have to parent the way I do, or Nikko, find your parenting style as you listen to others
Recognize what you are really good at and lean into those strengths. Lean on your spouse or friend who has the gift you don’tNiko Sadlowski
