The importance of community when you have a neurodivergent child

Send us a text

In today’s episode, we are joined by Megan Champion M. Ed. Teacher, and mother of 3. She shares with us her journey being a mother to a neurodivergent child and we learn the difference between tantrums and meltdowns and define what sensory sensitivities are. Megan sheds light on how she would like mothers of neurodivergent and neurotypical children to support each other and explains what she looks for in parenting advice platforms online. She gives us an insight into how to beat “mom guilt”. Tune in to find out why Cindy labels her kids as air, water, and fire and understand what parenting the “Champion way” means. Today’s episode is all about giving yourself a break and doing what works best at the moment.
