episode fifty-six: discipline & the legalistic kid

These differently wired kids of ours can be a challenge to guide, correct, and discipline.  Whether autism, sensory processing, adhd, giftedness, or some magical 2e mixture of them all, these differences can often tempt us into power struggles and other unhelpful strategies.  The struggle is real, but in this episode, Heather & Jon do their best to give some practical ways to lead our children (and ourselves!) through it.

episode twenty-two: Collaborative Problem-Solving

In this episode, Heather & Jon discuss a strategy that helps find solutions to repeat problematic behaviors.  And as an added bonus, Jon even serenades us all for a bit!  But, please don't let that keep you from listening.  ;)  And please note, no children were harmed or exploded during the making of this podcast.
