I am honoured today to interview Nicola Reekie, a PDA parent and expert who offers solution-focused therapist supporting PDA/ ASD parents with their emotional well-being & creating calm.

Conscious parenting and cycle-breaking are significant commitments in themselves… what about when additional needs and behaviours need to be considered?

Today, Nicola and I discuss:

- Neurodivergent parents and neurodivergent children and young people, especially PDA

- Navigating the school and social care systems as a loving advocate for your child (and supporting your own well-being through that process)

- Breaking the cycle if you were a neurodivergent child who didn’t feel seen, accepted for who you are or even understood… giving your child that wonderful gift (and the feelings that come up when we break cycles)

- Some practical tips for PDA parents and how to find out more in Nicola’s ground-breaking learning hub The PDA Space

You can find out more at: www.thepdaspace.com(there’s a great freebie on the first page).

And follow Nicola at The PDA Parent Space Facebook group.

Have you signed up for my free mini-course, ‘The 7-day Connection Reset?'

Explore the love languages in your family and identify how your child best feels love - and just enjoy connecting with them in a range of ways over the 7 days of the videos (of course, you can binge them or watch and then take longer over each love language - it's your choice!)

Remember: Healing + skills = the parent you always wanted to be
