Hey there, it's Debbie and welcome to Playback Friday. Most Fridays I re-release one of my favorite conversations from the archive. So unless you're a longtime listener of the show, there's a good chance you haven't heard this one yet. And even if you have, you just might get something completely different from it listening to it this time around.
What I've learned and what I always say to them is that if I could go back, you know what you know. about your child. And I want everyone to know that no one knows your child better than you. And I don't care how many letters are at the end of their name or how many years of experience they have in a specialized area. You are connected to that child in a way none of them will ever be.
Welcome to the Tilt Parenting Podcast, a podcast featuring interviews and conversations aimed at inspiring, informing, and supporting parents raising differently wired kids. I'm your host, Debbie Rieber, and today my guest is Tia Smith, a former business executive now in the trenches, mom of three, including at least one differently wired child, her 12 year old vice exceptional daughter, who has a number of processing and learning differences, as well. As being gifted. As I mentioned on a previous episode, I'm going to be bringing more episodes featuring conversations with other parents because I think it's important to hear how other parents whose children are wired differently in a variety of ways are carving out their own path.
Tia is one of those parents who is relentless in her approach to figuring out how to best meet her daughter's needs. She also is going to tell us about her own roadblocks. Along the way of coming to terms with how differently wired her daughter was and coming to a place of accepting what is. Oh and Tia's also an avid researcher, so make sure to visit the show notes page for this episode at tiltparenting.com slash session sixty-seven for a list of Tia's favorite books addressing learning differences like dyslexia, dysgraphia, and dyscalculea for both parents and kids.
What is Tia Smith’s family makeup and who is the twice‑exceptional child?
Before I get to the episode, a quick little public service announcement. Did you know that some of our production costs for the podcast are being offset by generous donations of listeners like you? We're now able to outsource our final post-production cost, which is fantastic and greatly appreciated as producing a weekly podcast is a little time consuming. My goal is to eventually have all the post-production tasks outsourced. If you'd like what we're doing here at the podcast and you'd like to help us reach our goal, please consider making a small monthly donation. For as little as $2 a month, you can help us reach this goal. To support us, visit patreon.com slash tiltparenting. And now I'll get on with the show.
Hello, Tia. Welcome to the podcast. Hi, Debbie. Thank you so much for having me. Well, of course. And just I like to give a little inside scoop for listeners. Tia and I met when our children were newbies. They were infants. We were in a parenting group back in Seattle. And I think we must have met when our kids were like six weeks old or something like that, right?
Exactly. I th I think Asher was like a whole month older than our my daughter, but yeah.
Which back in those days was a big uh was a big difference. But you've known Asher as long as anybody else has, and uh same with me, with your kids, and it's just been really interesting for me to kind of go through my journey, watching you go through your journey as we've kind of discovered who our kids are and how different they are from what we maybe thought they were gonna be. So would you Just so listeners have more context for you and your story.
