Ep. 151 - Teeth Brushing, Dentists and Pathological Demand Avoidance

This is the second episode in our three-part series on hygiene and PDA. In this episode we deep dive on helping your PDA child or teen go to the dentist and brush their teeth.

Specifically, we support parents (and therapists) to understand:

1. Why teeth brushing and going to the dentist are so difficult for PDA children and teens
2. Practical tips they can use to help a PDA child or teen access teeth brushing
3. Specific examples of how to use autonomy, equality, lowered demands, novelty, and humor to support a PDA child or teen's teeth brushing
4. Strategies and example scripts to use when speaking to the dentist or dental hygienist before your child or teen goes to their next appointment.

I hope you find it helpful!
