Full-Tilt Parenting: Strategies, Insights, and Connection for Parents Raising Neurodivergent Children · TPP 134: How Fathers Can Be The Dad Their Differently Wired Child Needs, With Jeremy Schneider · 9 Nov 2018 podcast

For me, that was like, okay, I latched on to that.

Okay, they're a baby.

I don't know what else to do with them, but I'm going to use a nail file and I'm just going to make sure that their nails are not sharp, right?

So they don't scratch their faces.

But having that kind of concrete thing was so helpful to me because then before I knew it, I was constantly in this situation with them.

Where I was holding them in some way, right, either on my lap and my arms, whatever it was, and I was filing nails.

But then sometimes it was just like, oh, well, now I'm just holding them and we're looking at each other or we're playing with our fingers.

And it gave me a couple of ways to start thinking about, okay, here's a concrete way to be involved, to make a difference.

And then before I knew it, that kind of made it just easier to deal with a baby, which frankly for me was a totally foreign concept.

So I think we're talking about communication.

I think we're talking about some education both

how important dads are, but also education about what kids really need and some real concrete examples as to how that can happen.

And I think when couples start to talk about it, maybe that's as simple as dividing up some of the responsibilities.

So in my case, for instance,

you know, when our kids hit toddlerhood, which, you know, is a thoroughly enjoyable experience, they started doing this mommy do it thing, which made me crazy, because I would change a diaper and they would scream, mommy, do it, mommy, do it, I would start to tuck them into bed, mommy, do it, you know, and they just didn't want any part of me.

And that was very difficult, because I thought I had been involved.

And, you know, it clearly didn't matter.

And

what my wife and I agreed on was that I would put them to bed at night.

And it just made such a big difference.
