We cover a lot of loaded definitions on this podcast, and Giftedness is pretty high up there in terms of being incorrectly represented and misunderstood. So let’s get real and talk about what Giftedness actually is, the various types of Giftedness, and how to support your child through it’s challenges. We also delve into the term 2E, what it means and how it appears. We discuss the challenges of people seeing the behaviour rather than the child and how to support them. Dr Susan Nikakis, Vice President of the Victorian Association for Gifted and Talented Children (VAGTC) and author of numerous books on educating gifted children, brings her passion and knowledge to this conversation.

The conversation around self care is EVERYWHERE at the moment and it’s a buzz term that’s being bandied about for parents and carers of children with neurodivergences. But how much of it is helpful? What is TRUE self care? Why is it important? And how can we find realistic and achievable ways to help us be the best we can, to also give our children our best? Also released this week are a collection of mini-sodes that walk you through short, realistic moments of calm that you can call on in those moments when it all feels out of control.

10 weeks ago1:04:29

1:04:29

Have you ever noticed that certain body movements can help your children feel safer in their own skin? Do you have a wriggler or a roller or a bouncer? Do they seek out your touch or shy away from it? Understanding your child’s vestibular, proprioceptive and tactile systems can be a key to helping them feel grounded and comfortable when other stimuli are overwhelming. We will be discussing what these systems are, why they are so important to the neurodivergent child and how you can be proactive in introducing ways that help these systems to support your child’s regulation journey. We're joined by Lisa Hughes of Occupational Therapy Helping Children as she shares more than thirty years experience of helping children feel comfortable in their bodies.…

Ep 11 - Explaining neurodivergence to family and friends - with Holly Karten 44:55

16 weeks ago44:55

44:55

While receiving a diagnosis is incredible for helping to explain why your child may have felt a bit like a fish out of water in a neurotypically organised world, it can be just the beginning of your journey. It can seem incredibly daunting if you make the decision to tell family and friends about your child’s diagnosis. Where do you start? What do you say? And how do you ensure they see your child as the individual that they are, not just the diagnosis?

Ep 10 - What is parent or carer regulation? And why is it important? With Diana Silva 54:54

18 weeks ago54:54

54:54

The terms Regulation and Co-regulation are used often when discussing how parents and carers can help the emotional state of their neurodivergent children. But what exactly do these terms mean? And what is the difference between them? If we are to co-regulate our children, how do we look after ourselves to ensure we’re in an emotional state that is healthy for us both? How do we make sure we can access the best parts of our brain and respond in the most appropriate way? And does regulated equate to calm? Should our children always be calm? We chat to Diana Silva, founder of the Keywell app that helps parents better understand their neurodivergent child.…
