Rigid Thinking with Debbie
So many of our neurodivergent kids, teens, and young adults are rigid thinkers or have areas they get stuck and inflexible around. It’s often frustrating as a parent or mentor to bump up against that rigidity and not be able to influence or get through to our kids especially when they’re really struggling.
In this episode, I offer some insights to help you navigate rigidity and more effectively support growth and development.
