judge you or say this is a parenting failure or this is an attachment issue and they're not willing to see that that the child is not neurotypical and that the PDA profile is actually something that's dominating the household and this does affect everybody in the household.
This is very tough on siblings.
It's very tough on marriages.
Um, and so I think the best thing that parents can do is to be nice to themselves, support each other.
Support themselves, trust their gut, try to find
Treatment professionals who are open minded and willing
To look into this and to research this and to learn about it.
And what they will find is if they find the right treatment professional who
is open minded and will use the correct techniques that work with PDA, the child will get better, the child will thrive, their anxiety will decrease, they will show more initiative and they will develop in healthier ways.
Yeah, you know, I think um just as as we're talking, I'm thinking that one of the things I I didn't list in the resources was that there are a couple of Facebook groups for
parents that have kids with PDA and they're private groups and so you have to ask for permission to join and I think you may have to
explain why you think, you know, why you wanna be part of the group.
But I'm part of some of those groups and there's some great
articles coming out in there and that is a great forum for parents to
confidentially talk with each other and to know that they're not crazy.
And there's some there's some folks on the Plan B Facebook site, which is one of Ross Green's sort of fan sites on Facebook where parents get together and talk about
his collaborative problem solving model and how they're using it with their kids.
And that also seems to be a place where parents can talk with each other without judgment.
And I've seen some some folks talk about PDA in that forum as well.
So yeah, and the other thing is is we just need to get all these people to come from the UK and train us and how to and that's one of my goals is to go out there and do some of that training and learn more so I can help people more as well.
