In this episode I work with Megan, a mom who is frustrated that what other adults think about her parenting impacts her, and unsure if this is an obstacle to radical acceptance of her child's PDA. Thank you Megan for sharing your story to help other families. I know many of us can relate!

Ep. 121 - Parental Burnout and PDA Aug 05, 2025

Show notes

As parents of PDA children and teens we do a ton of work to support and heal the nervous systems of our kids, often at the expense of our own (also sensitive) nervous systems. So for this episode I invited Afshan Tafler, a nervous system expert, to speak with me.

We talked about:

The impact on a parent's nervous system of raising a PDA child or teen
Why we get into fixing mode
Some tools to support your nervous system
(Parental burnout)

I hope it's helpful!

How do we help our kids develop a positive self image, no matter their diagnosis? In this episode I walk through the steps of helping your PDA child or teen do so, and in a way that provides them autonomy and equality throughout.

Ep. 118 - PDA, Screens, and AI - Oh My! Jun 25, 2025

Show notes

How do I feel about AI, and how do I use it with my PDA child?

In this episode I talk through these things and more with Kelly Edwards, founder of the 90-Minute School Day. As a mom of a PDAer herself, and an expert in the homeschooling/unschooling space, Kelly brings great insight to our conversation. I hope you find it helpful!

Ep. 117 - Is My Child PDA or Non-PDA Demand Avoidant? Jun 17, 2025

Show notes

Not all demand avoidant children and teens are PDA. In this episode I talk through how to know if your child fits the profile for PDA, which is important, because it suggests a different root cause for their avoidance than for non-PDA demand avoidant kids. And of course, you want to know what the root cause is so you know how best to support your child or teen.

I hope this is helpful to all.

xo,

Casey

She brings this perspective to the hardest moments and eras parenting her PDA children, and explains the difference that can make, even while being incredibly difficult.
