Do you find it challenging to stay calm and mindful when your child is having a tough time in public? Gabriele Nicolet and I explore understanding kid’s behavior from both behavioral and neurophysiological perspectives. Gabriele, a seasoned speech therapist and parent coach, shares invaluable insights into decoding what behaviors signify about a kid’s internal states and sensory needs. We discuss the importance of validating those needs without letting behavior spiral out of control, and offer practical strategies to co-regulate with your child.Throughout the episode, you'll gain a profound understanding of the critical balance between encouraging self-advocacy and addressing immediate behavioral issues, especially in kids facing neurodivergent challenges. Gabriele discusses why compliance is often overvalued while genuine self-efficacy starts from a child's early refusals and disagreements. You'll also hear personal anecdotes that bring these concepts to life, offering you relatable scenarios and practical advice for managing everything from sensory discomfort to school avoidance. Don't miss out on learning how to parent with empathy, understand the true roots of your child's behavior, and create a sense of safety and calm in both routine and challenging moments.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/beautifully-complex--6137613/support.
