The Fringy Bit podcast, where it’s all fringy talk all the time. Check out the show notes below.
When you have a differently wired kid (gifted, 2e, asd, spd, adhd, etc), meltdowns happen. When meltdowns happen in the midst of 2 parents, it is inevitable that you both will see things differently and have your own unique ways of intervening. Join Heather & Jon as they discuss the challenges of co-parenting through a meltdown.

Choosing the right fit in a summer camp or activity can be tricky for our differently wired kiddos. Whether gifted, 2e, adhd, asd, spd, or other differences, our kids often don't fit the typical age range or interests as other kids. Heather and Jon chat about ways to find the right fit of activities for your kiddo.

While Spring brings about new growth, bright sunshine, and warmer weather, it also tends to bring crazy behaviors, more meltdowns, and general dis-ease among our fringy kids. In this episode, Heather and Jon discuss why our differently-wired, gifted, 2e, autistic, SPD, ADHD kiddos might have a rough time in the Spring and things we can do to muddle through.

In celebration of FIFTY episodes, we're listing off 50 things we've learned on our journey of raising 3 fringy (gifted, 2e, autism, spd, differently wired) kiddos. We talk about everything from self-care to the ways different family members come accept fringy-ness to books read by Batman.

In this episode of the Fringy Bit, Heather and Jon talk all things proprioceptive. Many of our fringy kids (gifted, asd, 2e, spd, adhd, and other differently wired kiddos) struggle to get the right amount of proprioceptive input, which can lead to aggression, clumsiness, meltdowns, and more. Join Heather and Jon as they share info, stories, and possible helps!

As if parenting a fringy kiddo isn't complicated enough, us fringy families often choose to have other kiddos to love and raise. Sometimes these kiddos mimic fringy behaviors. Sometimes these kiddos make it quite clear that the differing expectations feels incredibly unfair. And always these kiddos need to be loved in their very own unique way. In this episode, Heather and Jon talk about ways to meet each of our children's needs and how to normalize loving them each uniquely.
