Reviews

5.0 out of 5 stars from 80 ratings
  • Honestly it's a good podcast with useful information, despite frequently (host and guests, both) misusing the term "neurodiverse" (which means - a group of people with different neurotypes) when they mean neurodivergent (meaning an individual with a non-standard neurotype)

    This is an issue because it's one of the biggest mistakes that NT folks make when trying to appear neuroaffirming (but not genuinely understanding) so it's going to turn lots of folks off.

  • NECESSARY LISTEN for Parents Raising Neurodivergent Kids Or ARE Neurodivergent Themselves

    It’s so easy to feel alone when parenting an autistic child. No one ever seems to understand or relate. And as someone who is also ADHD, I FINALLY understand myself so much. This podcast was an immediate subscribe for me and I am so relieved to feel seen.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

How to Start Makaton at Home (Start With Just Five Signs)
Q: What is Makaton and how does it work with signs, speech, and symbols?
Makaton is a communication program that combines speech with signs and symbols to support people who have difficulties with verbal communication; you can use signs and symbols alongside spoken language, or separately, depending on the user's needs.
The Hidden Stressors Behind Your Child's ADHD Symptoms
Q: What is the first practical step overwhelmed parents can take to make a difference in their child's day-to-day functioning?
Start with stabilizing blood sugar at breakfast by pairing carbs with protein or healthy fats, and move toward practical, manageable tweaks like protein-rich snacks after school to reduce afternoon meltdowns.
Morning Chaos to Morning Wins: How Movement and Mindset Help ADHD Families Break the Loop
Q: What can a parent do right now to start the journey?
Listen to the child's age-appropriate audios, start the movement routines, and begin implementing simple, specific daily patterns that empower and build confidence.
Morning Chaos to Morning Wins: How Movement and Mindset Help ADHD Families Break the Loop
Q: Why is it important to involve parents in the program?
Because the patterns are family-wide, and when parents change their own responses and routines, the child's behavior follows; it's a dual-pronged approach that reduces the overall dysregulated environment.
Morning Chaos to Morning Wins: How Movement and Mindset Help ADHD Families Break the Loop
Q: What is Morning Wars and how does it work in a family setting?
Morning Wars combines movement training with cognitive pattern reprogramming to retrain the patterns running under ADHD behavior, focusing on anchoring, pausing, and repetition to empower both kids and their families.
