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

Maddie was like three and I just thought, This is insane.

I can't this is ridiculous and I sort of put it aside and I've completely come full circle to really appreciate all of his work and his ideas.

And I think it's because I had to take that journey myself to start questioning.

And and now I say we need to ration our no's, right?

If you're gonna tell your child no, that could provoke a power struggle.

So make sure that you have a good reason for setting that limit or that boundary.

And if you don't say no or correct your child all the time, then when you do, they will pay more attention because they realize

it's more infrequent.

You know, we our kids get tuned out to our corrections if we're like the parents in peanuts going wah wah wah wah you know, if we're always correcting them.

And yeah, the root of the expectations is such a great question.

I I think that actually our society has changed dramatically and we don't even realize it, but fifty years ago

the boss was in charge of the factory and then probably the dad was in charge of the mom and the mom was in charge of the kids and there was this chain of command and a authoritarian practices were just embedded throughout our society.

And we've really come to be a much more open, respectful and egalitarian world in you know, the developing world and certainly in the US, where we've had a civil rights movement, we had a women's rights movement, we've had LGBTQ rights movement, we're having a neurodiversity movement.

And so all of these different groups of people are saying we all deserve to be equal.

So why wouldn't children also expect to be equal and to have a voice?

And so all of those authoritarian ideas are still embedded in a lot of our adult brains and it seems natural to go to, but it's not the world we live in anymore.

And perhaps our children understand that better than we do, and they're demanding equality and a voice

in our f homes and in our schools that we just instinctively pull back from because of

How things were when we were children.

Yes.
