Full-Tilt Parenting: Strategies, Insights, and Connection for Parents Raising Neurodivergent Children · TPP 326: Educator Sam Young on Reimagining Socializing for Twice-Exceptional Students · 11 Apr 2023 podcast

Sir Ken Robinson once said, like, we've all had an education and we all have an opinion about one, right?

And the same is true with socializing.

We sort of expect things to go, even if they were imperfect, the way that they went for us.

And a lot of the time, that's just not the case.

As you mentioned, times are changing.

We're dealing with, arguably, a once-in-a-century pandemic, which has stirred things up, to say the least.

It's changed the way in which we experience in public groups, the way we go out.

And it's caused a lot of introspection and it's caused parents really to get a lot of firsthand data, right?

I used to joke with some families that I spend more time with your kid than you do, you know, because a lot of families are passing in breakfast, getting off to school and then quickly catching up in the evening and then it's off to bed.

And socializing has really changed in this time period.

And I think that a lot of us expect it to go back to the way it was.

And I say that in two ways.

One, going back to the way it was for us as adults.

We expect our kids to socialize similarly to the way we did.

And I also think that we expect our kids to socialize similarly to the way that they did prior to the pandemic.

So we have to reimagine it and really let go of what socializing might look like and put our arms around what it is looking like and what it might in the future.

Yeah, it's a really interesting conversation.

And it starts exactly the way you're framing it, is that so many of our young people, they're building worlds online.

And much like the daydreamers in our spaces, a lot of the conversations happening in their heads are way more exciting than the ones happening in the classroom or other places so that they might space out.

The same is true with the internet.
