Parenting Neurodivergent Children

_{Neuroaffirming, attachment-based parenting support with Kate who not only has lived experience as an autistic, ADHD, PDAer herself she also raises neurodivergent children.}

_{She also has two decades of experience working in education and disability, including offering her neuroaffirming parenting training where parents get evidence-based education and mentoring to raise neurodivergent children within a community of like-minded parents.}

Tired of feeling like you’re alone?

"When my children were young I felt so alone. The concept of being neuroaffirming was not around and nobody understood the complexity of my family. The professional advice did not align with my values and went against my training in attachment, development, relational safety, and regulation so I could not follow what I was being advised.

So I developed Dynamic Parenting because I don't want you to feel alone, like I did.

I want you to get credible, relevant advice and education that is neuroaffirming and evidence-based.

So I combined what I have learned from:

20+ years in the educational and disability sectors
17 years of parenting to two multi-neurodivergent children
embracing my authentic multi-neurodivergent identity

Into an easy-to-follow online course with regular group mentoring and community support. I help you to become a neurodivergent-affirming parent.

Our neurodivergent affirming approach is woven through everything we do, including how we support you.

I am in your corner, providing neuroaffirming advice and continued support to move forward and create the connected family you desire.

As parents, we are here to support our children to understand who they are, how the world works and how to be the healthiest version of themselves within it. This is a difficult task when the world is not designed to meet neurodivergent needs, but it is not impossible and I can show you how!

I would love you to join me in our Dynamic Parenting Community so we can go on this parenting journey together!"

Dynamic Parenting is neurodivergent-affirming for parents, so you get to experience what it feels like to recieve the support practices you are taught in the course.

Group coaching is designed to be neuroaffirming for you-if you turn up late, in your PJs, need your camera off, want to type questions rather then talk, want to email questions beforehand in case you forget, eat and listen, fidget and listen, walk and move-it is all accepted fully and we encourage you to meet your needs. We are here to support you and you can show up as you are and be accepted. We are neuroaffirming on all levels at Dynamic Parenting and we have a high percentage of neurodivergent parents in our community.

During these online sessions, we discuss a wide range of neurodivergent life topics including the program content, what has come up during the week at home, school or education, and therapy.

Parents love these calls because it gives them another opportunity to connect with Kate, and to ensure they’re on track and moving forward.

We can’t wait to connect and grow with you!

Hi, I'm Kate.

"We are all on this parenting journey together and we really do need each other's support. We are all told parenting is hard, but nobody prepares us for parenting children who are developing differently in a society that doesn't understand them or how to meet their basic needs!

Do you feel like you give everything to support your child but feel like it's not enough?
Are you left exhausted and feel like you are failing as a parent even though you are doing your best?

I, too, have felt this on a deep level and it was a sign that I needed a new framework to understand my family's needs.

Keep reading Kate's letter to you...

All I wanted was for my children to learn, grow, and be happy. Even though I had a degree in child development, studied disability, education and attachment, and worked in the disability sector before having my own children, nothing seemed to be working. What worked for other kids did not work for mine, and we were all unhappy, the opposite of what I was striving for.

As a mum of 2 neurodivergent kids, I know what it’s like to:

be on high alert every moment just to get through the day
get so caught up trying to manage everything that I often missed the joyful moments right in front of me
feel alone on this journey and that nobody else truly understands

I felt so overwhelmed with the task of raising neurodivergent children who were not thriving or happy. I decided that I needed to learn more to try and figure out how to create a thriving family, so I studied professional courses on neuroscience and developmental research but all it did was confirm what I already knew, that relationship safety and secure attachment were key. So I worked harder to be there to co-regulate my children until I hit burnout in 2011. I had been giving too much for far too long that I became so unwell and I was bed-bound for 8 months.

While I was forced to stop I came to the realisation that being a parent with neurodivergent kids, I was expected to know more, do more, and have more skills than other parents - all without extra support or guidance on how to balance it all.

Being at the breaking point made me see that I needed a new model and framework for parenting my dynamic family.

A model that honored me and my needs as well as my children and their needs. I needed to thrive as a mother and I wanted my kids to thrive too! This was the birth of Dynamic Parenting.

I developed a sustainable way to parent neurodivergent kids with high needs and I began supporting other parents to develop the skills, knowledge, and confidence to mentor and guide their children. Our online parenting community was established and a step-by-step 6-module program with ongoing mentoringwas developed to help families on their journey to being the best support for their neurodivergent children and themselves.

If you are ready to take the steps to becoming a Dynamic Parent and creating a strong relationship with your child please reach out, I would love you to join us."
