Who is this workshop for?
One of the most heartbreaking things to hear is a child being mean to themselves. Some children get so overwhelmed that they insult themselves or call themselves names. This overwhelm is more common among neurodivergent kids who experience failure more often than their peers.
As adults, we can feel helpless in these moments and are quick to say something to negate a child’s comments like, “Of course you’re not stupid!” or “Don’t say that; it’s not true!” But, responding with comments opposite of a child’s thoughts can feel dismissive and leave them feeling emotionally alone.
So what are we to do?
In this workshop you will learn:
Why kids engage in negative self-talk
Why mistakes overwhelm neurodivergent kids and teens more often
What to say in these moments to help kids practice frustration tolerance
How to explain asynchronous learning to help kids accept their gifts and challenges as they grow
How to help neurodivergent kids build emotional resilience over time

Meet Dr. Emily
As a child psychologist, former school psychologist, and parent, I’ve spent the last two decades working with neurodivergent children and teens alongside their families and teachers.
Our kids are complex. What works for one child may or may not work for another. Our families are complex. There is so much information out there, but you are ultimately the decision-makers of the next best step in your child’s journey. I want to help you to feel more capable and experience more joy on this parenting journey.
If you’re ready to learn how to reduce the stress in your home, help others understand your kid, and find more joy, you are in the right place.
Let’s do this together,
~Dr. Emily
