In this episode, I spoke with Kendahl Damashek about the concept of radical acceptance while parenting a PDA child. Kendahl is a PDA autistic mother with four PDA children 10 and under. (She's also one of the wonderful coaches on our team.)
In the conversation we spoke about:
👉 What does “radical acceptance” actually mean in real life?
👉 Why is it so important to practice this in a way that is practical in order to shift the perception of autonomy and felt safety in the home and in relationship with your child or teen.
👉Concrete examples from our own lives and working with families raising PDA children and teens when tradeoffs were necessary and how to confront that using down-to-earth acceptance strategies.
I hope you find it helpful.
