Feel like you’re walking on eggshells? Like there’s a constant sense of friction in your house as you homeschool your neurodivergent child? And whether you apply more pressure or ease up, nothing helps?
Today we are going to be talking about finding that “just right friction” in your homeschool that helps our kids to grow and thrive with support. We’ll talk about what are appropriate expectations, how to find the right next step, and about scanning our child for their emotions and what’s underneath those emotions. This topic is so big that it’s actually a two-part episode so don’t miss part 2 which is going to be so key for you and your kids.
