When your kid isn’t listening or breaks a household rule, what do you do? In this episode, we dive into the tricky topic of discipline. First, we talk about the differences between logical consequences and punishments. Then we talk through why logical consequences are better and how to use them.

Preparing the environment is just a fancy way of saying setting up the environment for your kid (or yourself!) to be successful. Preparing the environment doesn’t guarantee that your kid will do the thing independently, but it does make it possible! It’s like building the foundation of the house.

In this episode, we are going to jump into a topic that we have had on our list forever- giftedness. Giftedness is often misunderstood and can even be contentious. So let’s get into it. What is giftedness? How is giftedness measured? Why is giftedness a neurodivergence? And why is giftedness being a neurodivergence contentious?

This week, we are taking some of your questions. 

First, we will talk about labels. Are labels helpful? Can labels be harmful? How should we think about if and when to use labels to describe ourselves and/or our kids? 

Then, we will talk about provisional diagnoses. What are provisional diagnoses, and why would one be given? How should we think about labels in the case of a provisional diagnosis?

We also take a little bird walk and talk about why so many adults realized they were neurodivergent during the pandemic and why so many women realize they are neurodivergent during perimenopause.

You can find all of the specific games and activities we mention here: math, reading, penmanship & fine motor.
