How to Talk to Your Complex Kids [and Other Important Relationships]

Strained communication can create a hot mess of misunderstanding and conflict — whether it’s with your kids or any significant relationship in your life. In this FREE guide, you’ll discover your role in communication dynamics and 10 simple but effective ways to help you build more trust and calm in your communication with your complex kids — and any relationship.

Here is what to expect on this week’s show:

Aaron emphasizes the significance of a parenting approach with strong boundaries, influenced by his parents’ progressive attitudes with stern, traditional discipline and expectations. He credits his mom and stepdad for instilling in him the value of setting strong boundaries while supporting and uplifting children. This approach reflects a modern understanding that focuses on empowering children while maintaining clear guidelines and expectations.

Aaron advocates for parents to acknowledge past parenting approaches, embrace radical change, and commit to making necessary adjustments for a better future. He emphasizes the importance of parents doing their inner work, healing past wounds, and being present for their children in a way that meets their needs.

Neurodiversity Informed Coaching focuses on understanding behaviors as symptoms of underlying struggles, teaching parents coaching skills to support their children. By recognizing that behaviors are often solutions to unmet needs like safety, power, connection, freedom, and worth, parents can approach their children’s actions with empathy.

Parenting strategies involve understanding the reasons for a child’s behavior and avoiding emotional reactions. By analyzing the why behind a child’s actions, parents can address root causes rather than just reacting.

Aaron stresses the significance of expressing love and support, emphasizing that the love we withhold is the pain we carry, affecting not only ourselves but also our children and relationships. By creating a space for open communication, understanding, and empathy, individuals can navigate the challenges of parenting and relationships with compassion and resilience.

Top 12 Tips To Help Your Complex Kids

Got complex kids? Yeah, so do we. Parenting a complex kid can be frustrating, overwhelming, and isolating. It can also be incredibly rewarding — with the right help and guidance! This FREE insider’s guide  from the experts at ImpactParents includes our top 12 tips to help you create a calm, peaceful home and guide your kids to become more independent every day.

Here is what to expect on this week’s show:

The developmentalist approach, explained by Deborah McNamara, focuses on understanding human development and its connection to parenting. This approach emphasizes helping children grow and thrive, and understanding what parents need to do to support their child’s development.

Parenting complex kids can be a challenging and rewarding journey. These complex kids require parents to adapt and be flexible to understand their unique needs. Parenting, in general, is an adaptive endeavor, but it becomes even more apparent when raising children with complex needs. The key to adaptation lies in keeping our hearts warm and maintaining a sense of care and patience, even in the face of frustration and stress.

Neurodivergent development explores the challenges faced by parents of neurodivergent children. Deborah emphasizes the importance of creating supportive environments and providing structure, routine, and boundaries to help these children develop their identity and navigate the world.

Trial and error is crucial for neurodivergent individuals to navigate their lives and find their passions. By giving them opportunities to be the answer to something, such as through volunteer work or involvement in a community, they can develop a sense of identity and learn appropriate behavior.

The topic of holding on to kids while allowing them to let go explores the long-term relationship between parents and their children. Deborah emphasizes the importance of this throughout their development, from infancy to adulthood. She finds inspiration in Gordon and Gabbar’s book, “Hold on to Your Kids.” Holding on to our children means providing support and guidance, even when we are not physically present. It involves instilling our values and fostering a healthy and independent relationship.

Sometimes in the world of ADHD, we parents come across a medical provider who really, really ‘gets it.’ This is one of those times! Dr. Aaron Dodini understands the nuances of diagnosing and treating ADHD, and has thoughts about the future of this complex condition. This conversation is a must listen for anyone with kids or adults who have ADHD in your family!

Dr. Aaron Dodini is a seasoned clinical psychologist with over 15 years of experience in diagnosing and treating ADHD, particularly focusing on high achieving professionals and athletes who may have been overlooked in the diagnosis process. Aaron firmly believes in a comprehensive approach to diagnosing and treating ADHD, emphasizing that there is no one-size-fits-all treatment. He advocates for a combination of medication, behavioral interventions, coaching, therapy, and creating supportive environments to address the various aspects of ADHD. His perspective is shaped by his extensive experience and his passion for empowering individuals to embrace their ADHD as a catalyst for growth and excellence.

Parenting is Leadership

Parenting is a leadership opportunity. With the “Parenting is Leadership” Guide from ImpactParents, two frameworks and a dozen core competencies will guide you to up-level your parenting… and improve the most important relationships of your life.

Here is what to expect on this week’s show:

Aaron emphasizes the importance of working with families, systems, and communities to provide support. He believes that a proper diagnosis for adults is crucial for improving their lives and their ability to support their children. When parents receive the support they need, they can reinforce support for their kids, leading to greater intimacy within the family.

According to Aaron, there is no cure for ADHD, but a combination of approaches can be beneficial. Medication is important, but should be complemented with behavioral training, therapies, and exercises. Aaron emphasizes the importance of using a whole toolbox of strategies to address the various aspects of ADHD.

Aaron explains, ADHD can be a catalyst for personal growth and excellence. Embracing a diagnosis of ADHD can lead to thriving and personal development. Therapy can help adults navigate the emotional aspects and come to terms with their diagnosis, although it may not address all executive function challenges. Aaron emphasizes the importance of self-love, compassion, and understanding oneself better, which therapy can facilitate. Ultimately, an ADHD diagnosis can serve as an invitation to self-awareness and growth.

Many of our defense mechanisms and ways of motivating ourselves that once served us well may no longer be effective as we evolve. Elaine mentions the “stick” that adults with ADHD have used to beat themselves up in order to be successful. While this coping mechanism may have worked in the past, it is important for individuals to learn to put the stick down and find healthier ways to motivate themselves.

Ten Self Care Tips for Parents

Do you give and give until you give yourself away? You’re not alone! In this FREE

guide for caring (and exhausted!) parents, you may recognize some of the key tips — but it’s always good to have a reminder! And then there will be some new ideas to help you put yourself back on your list and find a little more peace and joy in family life. Sure, your kids may need more than other kids. But that doesn’t mean you don’t deserve the care you need to keep helping your kids!

Here is what to expect on this week’s show:

• Parenting challenges can significantly impact the well-being and emotions of parents. Diane and Elaine explore the theme that parents often become stressed, overwhelmed, and experience a range of emotions due to their focus on their children. They emphasize the importance of parents taking care of themselves in order to effectively engage with their children. They discuss the need for parents to be in a good mental state to problem solve and navigate the complexities of parenting.
• Diane shares her personal experience of realizing her stress while watching home videos. She struggled to control the chaos in her life. Elaine adds that stress can lead to offensive or defensive approaches, such as shutting down or becoming aggressive. Diane explains the stages of dysregulation, where emotions and logical thinking compete in the brain. This often happens when parents feel overwhelmed, worried, or burdened by guilt or perfectionism. Elaine emphasizes that parents may react to stress in various ways, including internalizing, engaging in unhealthy behaviors, or resorting to explosions, blaming, and micromanaging.
• Prevention is crucial for maintaining emotional well-being and avoiding reactive behaviors. Diane and Elaine discuss the importance of recognizing triggers and staying aware to prevent escalation. Elaine shares an interesting perspective about how children and adults may already be in a triggered state, making explosive reactions more likely.
• Emotional regulation is a crucial skill that helps individuals manage their emotions and respond to challenging situations in a healthy manner. According to Diane and Elaine, it’s important to be gentle with oneself when it comes to emotional regulation. They suggest taking a moment to breathe, reclaim your brain, and figure out what you need in that moment. They also highlight the importance of finding strategies that work for you, such as taking a walk or engaging in self-care activities. Ultimately, emotional regulation is about noticing and navigating your emotions.

Ten Self Care Tips for Parents

Do you give and give until you give yourself away? You’re not alone! In this FREE guide for caring (and exhausted!) parents, you may recognize some of the key tips — but it’s always good to have a reminder! And then there will be some new ideas to help you put yourself back on your list and find a little more peace and joy in family life. Sure, your kids may need more than other kids. But that doesn’t mean you don’t deserve the care you need to keep helping your kids!

Here is what to expect on this week’s show:

Finding strengths and pursuing passions is crucial for personal growth and fulfillment. Jesse emphasizes the importance of allowing children to explore their own interests and not forcing them into preferred activities. He advises parents to support their children’s strengths and help them find activities they are passionate about.

Jesse emphasizes the power of attitude. He learned the significance of attitude from his father, who taught him by observing how athletes reacted to setbacks in sports games. Instead of focusing on their successes, they paid attention to how they handled failures and disappointments. This lesson had a profound effect on Jesse’s life, teaching him that while we can’t always control what happens to us, we can control our attitude towards it. By becoming the master of our own attitude, we can live a happier, more successful, and fulfilled life.

Jesse stresses how the importance of self-care and grace are essential for maintaining mental and emotional well-being. He highlights the importance of prioritizing self-care and adopting a positive attitude, even in the face of adversity. Jesse acknowledges that everyone’s experiences and backgrounds differ, but it is crucial to empathize with others and recognize the validity of their struggles. He encourages individuals, regardless of age or circumstance, to understand that they are not alone in their challenges and that seeking resources and support is a positive step.

Jesse discusses balancing independence and parental guidance is a complex task for parents in today’s digital age. One of the biggest challenges parents face is managing their children’s relationship with technology, particularly smartphones and social media. Setting systems in place to monitor screen time and access is important, as the allure of endless scrolling and the influence of online content can negatively impact a child’s life.
