Full-Tilt Parenting: Strategies, Insights, and Connection for Parents Raising Neurodivergent Children · TPP 418: Redefining Success for Neurodivergent Children, with Dr. Emily King · 17 Dec 2024 podcast

And then I feel like that question went to rest for 10 years.

And now here we are with like, oh, are they driving plus graduation, college, job, all the things, right?

So now that I'm back in this space, though, with a teenager, I'm a different person than I was when he was going to kindergarten.

And I feel so much more confident now just saying to people, that's not our plan.

Or, oh, are you doing college tours?

Not our plan right now.

And usually it's fine.

And you just share with people a little bit more.

Or if it is our plan in the next year, no, we're definitely not touring 10 colleges.

But we are looking at ones that seem to be a very good fit for our kid.

And so the way we, I think, start dismantling this is really looking at how we define success.

And then when are we worried people are going to ask us about our kids' success?

Because those are the moments we're either going to step in and define our kids' success in an accurate, authentic, loving way.

Or we're going to avoid the question and ignore.

And it may depend on the person you're talking to, right?

So there may be some relationships you don't want to bring into your circle and some that you do.

But I just feel like all those little moments matter.

When I think about it from a mental health standpoint, for us as parents, it's almost like a little bit of exposure therapy every single time.

we're worried about someone asking us about our kids' success because a lot of it is ingrained culturally in what we think people think of us or our kid.

And as we all know from research, we are not all thinking about each other as much as we think people are thinking about us, right?
