Key Takeaways:
- Seek clarity about your child's wiring - Understand their personality, sensory needs, and emotional requirements
- Use empathy as your most powerful tool - A child won't move from where they are until they know you understand them

- The power of the pause - Sometimes the most effective response is silence and listening
