  • Problem Sizing: 3 Ways 'Big Deal Vs. Little Deal' Harms Neurodivergent Kids
    Feb 19 2025

    Have you ever told a child, “It’s not a big deal” or “You’re overreacting”? Many of us grew up hearing these phrases, and without realizing it, we may now be saying the same things to the children we support. But what if minimizing a child’s emotions does more harm than good—especially for neurodivergent kids?

    In this episode of The Autism ADHD Podcast, I dive into why problem sizing the struggles of neurodivergent children can be harmful, how dismissing emotions can impact self-trust, self-advocacy, and emotional regulation, and how minimizing emotions can create long-term struggles in seeking help. I also cover practical
    strategies to help kids recognize and process their emotions—without shutting them down

    By the end of this episode, you’ll have a deeper understanding of why validating children's emotions is crucial and how small shifts in language can make a world of difference!

  • From Pressure To Progress: How to Provide Praise & Correction That Supports Mental Health
    Jan 29 2025

    How we talk to our neurodivergent kids shapes how they see themselves and handle challenges—at home, school, and out in the world. In this episode of The Autism ADHD Podcast, I break down the three main ways we give feedback:

    ✅ Person-focused feedback – Why telling a child they’re "smart" or "lazy" can create pressure, anxiety, and shame.
    ✅ Outcome-focused feedback – How focusing on results (like grades or a clean room) can lead to perfectionism, fear of failure, or shutting down.
    ✅ Process-focused feedback – The most effective way to build resilience, self-confidence, and problem-solving skills in neurodivergent kids.

    If you've ever wondered how to praise and correct in a way that helps your child, student or client grow, this episode is for you. 💛
