Full-Tilt Parenting: Strategies, Insights, and Connection for Parents Raising Neurodivergent Children · TPP 111: Katherine Reynolds Lewis Tells us the Good News About Bad Behavior · 5 Jun 2018 podcast

We wanna let our kids fail, but we also have to be that coach or

um, mentor helping them process the failure sometimes and plan for what they might do differently.

So it's

a middle ground of where we we uh no longer can just be at the hands off parents like when I was growing up I walked myself home from school in upper elementary.

I made myself a snack, I managed my homework, I really was making so many decisions.

And because I was doing that from very young, I was able to.

And our kids now, if they haven't had that experience, they may need to build up to it a bit.

And we can be that sort of sounding board and safe place to help them process their mistakes and and plan for the future.

And especially for kids who have any kind of

you know, neurodiverse challenge that they're managing, it can take a lot longer for that learning to happen than we maybe think it should.

So we have to be raised with all of our patients and all of our zen, you know, to to just say, Okay, I guess it's gonna take another time to learn.

not to leave the notebook at school or that if you start a fight you're gonna get in trouble or, you know, all these things that our kids get into.

Oh, absolutely.

Yeah.

Um, it's so hard.

I think the silent judgment of other parents has been responsible for more bad parenting choices than possibly anything because um it's it's so you know, visceral you can sort of feel when your kids acting up or even

You know, my daughter in third grade refused to brush her hair, so every day she went to school with a tangle full of hair, pulled back in a ponytail, and it just was so hard for me to let go and say, This is not a fight I'm getting into with my child.

My relationship is more important, it's her body.

And and so but once we start practicing letting go of those feelings that other people are judging us, the

easier it gets.
