Full-Tilt Parenting: Strategies, Insights, and Connection for Parents Raising Neurodivergent Children · TPP 257: How to Talk When Kids Won't Listen with Parent Educator and Author Julie King · 29 Jun 2021 podcast

So when Asher, my firstborn, was in preschool, the Parent Education Committee was looking for some sort of more than one-time event to do with the parents.

And I volunteered to lead a workshop based on the original How to Talk book.

And that first group was scheduled to meet for eight weeks.

And halfway through, they said, well, we can't learn this in eight weeks.

So we added another eight weeks and then another eight weeks.

And we ended up meeting for four and a half years, which was a tremendous support to me as well as the other parents in the group.

And other people heard about what I was doing and asked me to come and lead groups for them.

So that's really how I got into doing this.

I didn't actually intend to be a parent educator, specializing in communication skills with kids.

I thought I was gonna be a lawyer, but it became very meaningful.

And when I ended up having my three kids,

two of whom had their own special differently wired issues, it really worked for me to be doing this kind of work.

So I did end up leading workshops for parents of neurotypical kids and differently wired kids and

Sometimes I did a few groups that were specifically for differently-awired kids, but most of my workshops are really just for any parent because the communication tools that I'm teaching, I believe, really apply to all kids.

I have to tell you that when we were working on the first book and I had this idea, it would be so cool if we could find a picture of just the two of us.

And I live in California and my parents at the time were still living in New York.

And so I called them up and I said, you have to go through all your photos and see if you can find something.

And they went through everything and they couldn't find anything.

That was just the two of us.
