  • I don't have kids and I still LOVE this show!

    I may not have kids of my own but as the oldest of 7, I know what it's like dealing with teenagers. Just because being a teenager isn't as difficult as being a parent doesn't mean that guidance isn't needed for everyone. I love Cheryl's brilliant approach at exploring both sides of the conversation.

~187~How to Advocate WITH Your Neurodivergent Teen (Not Just FOR Them) | ADHD, Autism, IEPs & School Success with Lisa Richer
Q: So Lisa, let's start with you. What you're doing, why you're doing it. What is the point?
I'm doing this work across parents, educators, professionals, organizations, and even in the arena because I truly believe that neurodiversity is the prism lighting the table, and we need to have conversations in the messy middle to seek understanding before being understood.
~186~"The Parenting Mistake That Keeps Teens Dependent (And How to Change It)" with Lisa Woodruff
Q: How does organization connect to executive functioning and emotional regulation in teens?
