Show Notes

This conversation with Debbie Reber, founder of Tilt Parenting focuses on helping and embracing kids for who they are, and being inclusive in our approach.
Debbie is a parenting activist, speaker, author and the host of her podcast "Tilt Parenting".

Following aspects are very noteworthy -
1. Neurodiversity proposes that variation in brain functioning within the human population is normal.
2.A boxed approach and categorization is something we need to walk away from when it comes to raising our children.
3.Being inclusive of those who think and express themselves or communicate in a way that is non neurotypical, is not to be stigmatized.

Did you know more than one fifth of children in the world are considered neurologically atypical ? Or what my guest Debbie Reber prefers to call "differently wired" ?

The gift these children bring to this world and how we can embrace them, help them adapt and belong to a conventional environment forms the basis for this conversation.

Here are some highlights from this enchanting dialogue :

* Why do we get tied to a boxed approach in society and how best can we address this
* Achievement culture, peer pressure on kids
* Anger and frustration and reasons these get stirred, addressing the same
* Societal demands on kids, stigmatized approach
* Neurotypical or Neurodiverse and seeing abilities vs differences
* Debbie's story raising her son Asher and her overcoming challenges as a parent
* Psychology lessons for educators, kids or approach that can help mitigate response to children
* Grassroots level approach to education system to help break barriers
* Helping kids channel their energy fruitfully
* Helping parents feel confident raising children who are twice as gifted
* Debbie's book, her 18 "tilts", Ted talk and resources
* Takeaways, showing up for our kids, creating a safe world for kids to thrive

and much more...
