Welcome to Series 2 of the Empowered Parent Podcast, where we explore neurodiversity and attunement to children with "rainbow brains." I'm setting the foundation for upcoming conversations with parents, professionals, and neurodivergent individuals by sharing insights from the recent Neurodiversity and Wellbeing Conference.
• Neurodiversity, a term coined by Australian sociologist Judy Singer, celebrates neurological differences as natural human diversity
• Parenting a neurodivergent child isn't about parenting harder but about attunement - connecting to their unique rhythms and needs
• The Eight Attunements: sensory, emotional, relational, communication, task, timing, environmental, and self-attunement
• "Perception is projection" - how we interpret our child's behaviour often reflects what's unresolved in ourselves
• Moving from criticism to compassion creates the soil where belonging grows
• Small, consistent adjustments in our approach make meaningful differences
• Neurodivergent children aren't broken and don't need fixing - they bring creativity, honesty, and fresh perspectives
Join me for upcoming episodes featuring incredible guests as we explore neurodiversity from many perspectives. Remember, attunement creates belonging, and neurodivergent children belong in our world.
