Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

349: Tracking & Maintaining Progress, with Caroline Fitsimones
Q: What is the six-step process for tracking and maintaining progress?
The steps are: vision casting, building the family culture, focusing on the parents, installing systems with visuals, focusing on kids' skills through micro-steps, and finally reflect/assess/debrief to iterate and improve.
349: Tracking & Maintaining Progress, with Caroline Fitsimones
Q: Will you start by letting everybody know who you are and what you do?
Caroline explains her 21-year background as a pediatric occupational therapist and how her personal experience as a parent of a neurodivergent child deepened her compassion and realism in supporting families.
348: Good Sleep for Neurodivergent Kids, with Melisa Moore, Ph.D.
Q: What should we consider about teens and sleep?
Teens have a natural circadian shift around puberty that makes them want to sleep later; we should keep routines and school timing as consistent as possible and balance restrictions on electronics with the reality of teen homework and need for autonomy.
348: Good Sleep for Neurodivergent Kids, with Melisa Moore, Ph.D.
Q: How do parents determine what their specific child's needs are around sleep?
Parents are the experts in their child. Look at daytime functioning—waking naturally, irritability, sleep during school or therapies—to guide what hours and practices work best, not just rigid hour-by-hour guidelines.
348: Good Sleep for Neurodivergent Kids, with Melisa Moore, Ph.D.
Q: Will you start though by letting everybody know who you are and what you do?
I'm a clinical psychologist and my passion is helping families be the best rested that they can possibly be; I've been doing this for two decades and I have personal experience with neurodivergence in my family.
