Ep.161 Father Friday: Dad Pablo Chavez on Rethinking How to Parent Your Neurodivergent "Mini-Me"
"I criticize myself a little too harshly."
About This Episode: It's Father Friday!!! I had a great conversation with Dad Pablo and I just loved what he had to say about raising a neurodivergent child. Here are just some of the things we discussed:
-Going against the grain on how you were raised
-When you feel like a sibling to your child instead of a parent
-Constantly feeling like you have to bargain with your kid
-Fighting through your own ADHD to parent your mini-me
-Using a project-oriented brain for parenting tasks
