More Than Wishful Thinking [Boys Town Press, March 11th 2024] is the second in the Holly’s Choice series and teaches kids that while it is important to have hope, wishful thinking alone is not enough to help us achieve our goals.

More Than Wishful Thinking, how can we teach our children to be active participants in positive emotions, how we can model positive emotions to our kids to help build their emotional resiliency,

This week we’re deep-diving into self-care. What comes to your mind when we mention self-care? If it’s expensive and bougie, then we highly recommend you take a listen. Together, we talk through several different ideas that you can utilize for self-care, why it’s important, and how to weave it throughout your day. The first rule of this episode: Take what works and leave what doesn’t, and always remember: self-care is intimately defined by you, and you are the only one who can ensure what you’re doing is self-care.

What comes to mind when you hear Radical Acceptance? As humans, we spend a lot of time being upset about things that aren’t in our control. Radical acceptance is taking the concept that we can’t change what’s happening, so how do we navigate the challenge? We talk through why this is important in parenting neurodivergent children and how to implement this concept to create a smoother experience in your parenting journey.

Welcome back to Mindful As A Mother! Today we are welcoming a special guest all the way from Austria, Carina Wahringer. We strongly believe that the most important voices in parenting and living with neurodivergence come from the individuals themselves. Carina is a strong example of a neurodivergent mother with neurodivergent children just trying to wing parenthood like the rest of us. Together, we talk about how Carina knew she’s neurodivergent, what it's like parenting as a neurodivergent individual and parenting neurodivergent children, and her biggest struggles and strengths in neurodivergence.

Welcome to our VERY FIRST Neuroaffirming Nugget of season four. Neurodivergent nuggets are easily digestible pieces of information to support you on your parenting journey. At 15 minutes or less, these actionable items are the perfect parenting snack.
PACE
Playfulness: Stressed brains respond to calm, playful faces and tones of voice. You can counter stress by introducing playfulness. Playfulness can defuse arousal, reduce conflict, and increase connectedness.
Acceptance: Communicating with our words and actions that their feelings, thoughts, urges, and perceptions and accepted completely and trusting that what they are feeling is their truth in that moment. Radically accept what’s in front of you and focus on supporting your child through it regardless of how it triggers you.
Curiosity: be curious about where the behavior comes from. Be curious enough to truly understand your child’s perspective. Open-ended questions or contemplating these questions yourself. Curiosity can also promote their self-reflection on their feelings and behaviors.
Empathy: Genuinely attempt to understand your child’s position. Focus on connection over correction. by demonstrating how difficult an experience might be for THEM, you are comforting them and letting them know they do not have to deal with their distress alone.

This week we’re excited to introduce Dr. Rothman and Dr. Fredriksen, two powerful females, authors, mothers and doctors in the field of Neurodivergence. Together, they wrote Different Thinkers: ADHD. Different Thinkers: ADHD is a comprehensive resource about ADHD for children and adults alike, offering practical advice for managing symptoms and reflection prompts designed to help readers understand what it means to be a different thinker. Dr. Rothman and Dr. Fredriksen hope to help children understand their ADHD diagnosis and celebrate their different ways of thinking. Together we talk about why it’s important for children to learn about their diagnoses and how celebrating difference can make everyone feel included. Our favorite quote this week is “Neurodiversity is to human culture like biodiversity is to the ecosystem”.
