What is the purpose of this special anniversary episode and who is the guest?
Hey everyone, it's Debbie Reverend. As I mentioned in my special five year anniversary solo cast, my dear friend and colleague and executive function guru, as I like to call him, Seth Perler, recorded a very special message just to celebrate the Tilt Parenting five year anniversary and to share with us his thoughts on what we as a community can do to help keep this parenting. Paradigm shift moving forward. Have a listen. And thanks so much, Seth, for taking the time to record this for us. I'm so grateful for the work that you do, for your friendship and for you being a part of this community. Okay, here's Seth.
Hello, Debbie Reber. Thank you so much for asking me to celebrate this special occasion with you today. Five years of your podcast. It is an honor that you have asked me to share some of my thoughts on this special edition of your podcast today. And I want to thank you, Debbie Reber, for everything you contribute to the world of parenting and kids and to the world in general. You're an amazing person. And Thank you so much for how you show up in the world and what you bring to the world and all of the effort and time and energy and heart that you put into sharing your message with the world. So thank you, Debbie Ruber. So Debbie you asked me this question to respond to this question. What can we all do to keep this paradigm shift to one of more inclusion for neurodivergent children moving forward?
So how can we keep the paradigm shift moving forward? Well, I have six points that I want to cover today. I really thought about this for everybody listening. I put a lot of energy and time into this and really thought about this is an excellent question. What can we do? And here are the six things that I think we can do. Number one thing that we can do is remember the why. Why are we here? Why are we doing education in the first place? Why do we teach kids? Why do we have school? And there's this uh great quote that I'm sure you've heard uh from Rob uh Siltiman, Sil uh is a Siltenan, not Steve Jobs, technically, and it goes, Here's to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes, the ones who see things differently.
They're not fond of rules, and they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, decide disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, about the only thing you can't do is ignore them because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do. And our neurodivergent kids are these people. They are so important. We need them. We need to educate them in terms of helping them become who they are. So uh w the first thing I want to mention in terms of remembering the why is there's a lot of pressure, a lot of pressure on you parents. parents and teachers and professionals and all of us out there.
And what we are not doing in terms of the why, we don't need to focus on the pressure of grades and good grades and pleasing others and compliance and education and having kids do what they're told and following instructions and be a good little boy or a good little girl and just listen and sit still and don't rock the boat. Get in line, be normal, make your adults proud, know your place, conform to our expectations, get good test scores, go to college. All of these things, while there may be value in them, that is not the why. So conforming to those pressures is not the why. What's the why? Why do we educate our kids? What do we want for our kids? Educare, education, educere, the Latin, the root, the the etymology of this world means to bring up
To lift, to raise, to lead out, to launch. We want to raise our kids. We want to bring our kids up. That's the listen to the words we say. I'm bringing up my kids. I'm raising kids. What does that mean? Upward motion, up, up, up, not down, not stifled, not stuck. How do we bring people up? How do we help our kids launch a good life?
