Combining the author’s experience as a clinical psychologist and lived experience of parenting neurodivergent children, Coping with Parenting Neurodivergent Children draws from a range of therapeutic techniques and psychological theory to propose a compassion-based approach, guiding parents through recognising and managing their own feelings in order to better to support their child.
With a focus on emotional regulation for both the parent and the child throughout, this essential book acknowledges the challenges and opportunities of parenting neurodivergent children while also providing practical strategies for effective parenting. Topics explored include, but are not limited to:
• Understanding neurodiversity and dysregulation
• Exploring your feelings about parenting
• Navigating the assessment and diagnostic process
• Making sense of a diagnosis and helping you child understand themselves
• Navigating the school system and supporting your child with school and education
• Compassion for yourself and others
• The teenage years and mental health
An essential read for any parent to a neurodivergent child, this text will support parents in thinking about their own experiences and emotions, while also considering how this interacts with their ability to parent effectively. This may also be of interest to mental health, healthcare and education practitioners who want to better understand the experiences of neurodivergent children and their parents.
