Show Notes

"My kid has rules. And if they're not a big deal, I just follow them."

About This Episode: It's Mama Monday! This week, I'm talking with Michelle Bubier for Part 2 of our chat. (List to Part 1 Here!) Michelle is so good at picking her battles, letting things go, and following the lead of her kid. And DON'T miss the end! She touches on something that spoke to my soul - and I think it will for you, too.  Here are just some of the topics we discussed:

-How to pick your battles with a ND kid
-Putting yourself out there to other moms
-What to do when rewards and consequences don't work
-How hard it is to meet the academic needs of gifted kids
-When your kid doesn't have a "yellow zone"
-When your kid's hobbies are outside of the box
-Should you teach your ND kid how to mask?

Please shower Michelle with love and support by SHARING this episode with a mom who needs to hear her story!
