Full-Tilt Parenting: Strategies, Insights, and Connection for Parents Raising Neurodivergent Children · TPP 061a: Dr. Robyn Silverman Talks About Nurturing Character Strengths in Our Kids · 3 Dec 2021 podcast

Instead of starting with, you know, my child, when everybody's playing a game,

is the last one to join in.

He's not the empathetic one.

If somebody gets hurt, he's not the one to run over.

You want to first talk about your child in terms of their strengths and really talk about it in your own head, even as they're working on their challenges.

And find mentors for your child

especially when you feel challenged in a particular area and you're like, I just can't be the one who works on it with my child, that you find the right people to work on those skills with your child so that it's kind of behind the curtain a little bit.

And yes, you know, they're they're making progress, but that it's not an area where you're working on it every day, you know, and feeling frustrated and irritated because that can backfire.

And then I'd say diversify your child's friendship circles so that they're with all different types of people.

My child might do best with, you know, children who are a little bit calmer and, you know, they might be, you know, more, you know, into doing this particular mutual interest.

But the children that they're exposed to all the time happen to be this other way.

And then you wind up seeing the challenge more and more, right?

The frustration level is really high

you know, they can't deal with the noise and they, you know, they feel intimidated.

So you want to give them the right situation as well so that they can, you know, they can move forward.

But I know that it's very easy to, you know, to compare and say, you know, my child is behind in this area, especially when it's really important to you.

And I would say to people, try to look for the small incremental changes.

Because if you look back and you say, you know, my child was not showing empathy in this particular area, I would say that, you know, your son's 12.

There were incremental changes, small things that happened.

Now you're looking back and your child, when he was seven, may have been one way.
