Full-Tilt Parenting: Strategies, Insights, and Connection for Parents Raising Neurodivergent Children · TPP 284: Maria Kennedy on What's Needed & What's Next in the Movement to Support 2e Students · 8 Mar 2022 podcast

So as parents, as educators, we need to know what it is our children are great at, what they can do, and then be able to share that and empower our children to feel good about themselves so that when we come to tackling the things, the areas in which they struggle, they don't start

Life feeling that they're a failure.

They don't start out branded as the kid that can't do anything.

You know, it's cool to be a nerd in some aspects, right?

So, but let's celebrate those things, right?

So let's celebrate whatever our children are good at.

And as parents, it starts with you.

So you have to be encouraging them and celebrating and finding out what they're

skills are and then sharing those and being proud of them and being positive about what they do well.

And then those areas of challenge, then have those conversations and ask the educators, is there a way that we can utilize what my child is good at to help them in those areas that they're being challenged in?

I taught my brother to read.

I taught my brother to read back because he needed to make a kite, and so we got a book about making a kite.

We read comic books.

And when it clicked for him, when he could see um that connection and make that connection, he then went

Arnhem was able to read newspapers, he was able to transfer that, but it took

a desire and a passion, we had to find something that interested him that he wanted to read for him to be prepared to try and learn how to do it.

You know, so look for those passion things because when your child has a passion with something, you'll be amazed at how using their passion can encourage them to learn anything else that they need.

We have 2e News.

Um, so it's a newsletter and um we have a quarterly variations magazine.
