On Episode 249, Emily Kircher-Morris chats with Diane Dempster and Elaine Taylor-Klaus from Impact Parents, hosts of the Parenting with Impact podcast. They talk about the challenge of motivating neurodivergent kids, and break down why it's challenging. The chat includes a framework called PINCH, a way to remember and think about important elements of motivation. You'll come away with practical strategies for parents to foster a supportive environment that encourages engagement, and ways to move away from fear and stress as motivators. Takeaways Traditional parenting advice often doesn't apply to neurodivergent kids. Motivation can be misunderstood; it's not always lack of interest. Executive functioning skills play a crucial role in motivation. Dopamine is essential for engaging in non-preferred tasks. Fear-based parenting creates stress and is not sustainable. Intrinsic motivation develops later in life, especially for neurodivergent individuals. The PINCH framework helps identify different motivators for kids. Interest in a subject can significantly boost motivation. Competition can motivate but may also cause anxiety in some children. Collaboration and connection with peers can enhance motivation. Parents should experiment with different motivational strategies. Transparency and vulnerability in parenting can build trust. Elaine Taylor-Klaus and Diane Dempster co-founded ImpactParents.com in 2011 because traditional parenting advice wasn't working for their complex kids and they found no training or coaching available designed specifically to support them as parents of complex kids. Internationally recognized as leading parent educators, they use a coach-approach to help parents reduce the stress of raising children, teens, and young adults with ADHD, Anxiety, Autism, LD and more. They're the creators of Sanity School® behavior training, and the authors of many books including Parenting ADHD Now: Easy Intervention Strategies to Empower Kids with ADHD and The Essential Guide to Raising Complex Kids with ADHD, Anxiety and More.

Here is what to expect on this week's show: Parenting challenges can significantly impact the well-being and emotions of parents. Diane and Elaine explore the theme that parents often become stressed, overwhelmed, and experience a range of emotions due to their focus on their children. They emphasize the importance of parents taking care of themselves in order to effectively engage with their children. They discuss the need for parents to be in a good mental state to problem solve and navigate the complexities of parenting. Diane shares her personal experience of realizing her stress while watching home videos. She struggled to control the chaos in her life. Elaine adds that stress can lead to offensive or defensive approaches, such as shutting down or becoming aggressive. Diane explains the stages of dysregulation, where emotions and logical thinking compete in the brain. This often happens when parents feel overwhelmed, worried, or burdened by guilt or perfectionism. Elaine emphasizes that parents may react to stress in various ways, including internalizing, engaging in unhealthy behaviors, or resorting to explosions, blaming, and micromanaging. Prevention is crucial for maintaining emotional well-being and avoiding reactive behaviors. Diane and Elaine discuss the importance of recognizing triggers and staying aware to prevent escalation. Elaine shares an interesting perspective about how children and adults may already be in a triggered state, making explosive reactions more likely. Emotional regulation is a crucial skill that helps individuals manage their emotions and respond to challenging situations in a healthy manner. According to Diane and Elaine, it's important to be gentle with oneself when it comes to emotional regulation. They suggest taking a moment to breathe, reclaim your brain, and figure out what you need in that moment. They also highlight the importance of finding strategies that work for you, such as taking a walk or engaging in self-care activities. Ultimately, emotional regulation is about noticing and navigating your emotions. Links: Self-Awareness, Self-Regulation, & Self-Management What Story are You Telling Yourself? RESENTMENT!

With a coaching approach to parenting, they aim to empower children to become independent problem solvers while fostering confidence and self-esteem. Their deep understanding of the unique needs of complex children and passion for supporting parents make them trusted guests on the podcast. When Diane Dempster and Elaine Taylor-Klaus first met, they were both searching for a way to address the challenges faced by parents of complex kids. Diane, a neurotypical mom, and Elaine, who had been diagnosed with learning and attention issues, discovered they both had undergone significant improvements as parents after becoming coaches. Intrigued by the idea of applying a coaching approach to parenting, they decided to team up and develop a method that would empower children to become independent problem solvers. Through trial and error, they realized the importance of guiding parents through a process-oriented approach rather than simply providing solutions. By teaching parents to collaborate with their children, they found that they could foster a sense of agency and inspire kids to overcome obstacles.

How do you handle coparenting when your spouse (or soon to be ex) is behaving more like a kid? There may be underlying issues like substance use, neurodiversity or they just may be (much) less responsible than you wish they were. How do you navigate things like shared custody and lifestyle decisions for your kids, when they just aren't in the same place? Karen & Diane challenge our listeners to explore their part in the dynamic, and discuss the fine line between having compassion and caretaking (or even co-dependency!) They also will provide some concrete tools to make solid decisions from a place of discernment rather than from fear.

Listen to this Whinypaluza Wednesday Live vlog episode with The Greene Family! An extension of the weekly blog, join Rebecca and her family on the live vlog, brought to you here in case you missed it last week! Rebecca hosted a two day Parenting and Marriage Summit with excellent guest experts on, you guessed it: parenting and marriage! If you weren't able to attend, please be on the lookout for those presentations coming up on the podcast! This week, Rebecca discusses the lessons learned from her presenters on day 2 of the summit: Elaine Taylor-Klaus and Diane Dempster of ImpactParents honed in on complex behaviors in kids and how tools to cope with things like ADHD and anxiety translate well for all children. Things to consider: Is it naughty or neurological? Meet your child where they are at and set them up for success. What motivates your child? Rebekah Maddux-El Hakum spoke about marriage and relationships and teaches us to be more intentional with our words. “Never” and “Always” tend to be trigger words for an argument. She also discussed the stages our children go through and how we can't compare one child to another and expect them to be the same at the same ages. Allana Robinson taught us about how the brain works. She dives into thought, reasoning, and executive functioning in kids. Consistency and predictability will lead to a better sense of security in our kids. Judy Herman discusses marriage and navigating emotions. Be curious with your partner about how they feel, it pulls you away from being judgmental. Learning to empathize will go a long way. In regards to choosing a partner, we pick, project, and provoke, which relates to your relationship with your parents when you were a child. Dr. Laura Froyen teaches us that reframing triggers can create an opportunity to grow and learn. We can “reparent” ourselves and learn things we did not learn as children. Learning coping skills when you are calm will help you when you are in the midst of the conflict.

One of the most basic beliefs we carry about ourselves has to do with how we view our personality. You may have heard your child say something along the lines of, “Oh, I'm just not a math person,” or, “Organization isn't my thing.” You may even recognize these types of attitudes in yourself. This is what's known as a “fixed mindset,” a concept that originated in the book Mindset: The New Psychology of Success by Carol Dweck. Dr. Maggie Wray is an ICF-certified Academic Life Coach and ADHD coach, with a Ph.D. in Neurobiology and Behavior from Cornell and a Bachelor's in Astrophysics from Princeton. She is passionate about helping students develop the skills they need to be successful in life, and believes that many of the skills that are most essential to students' long-term life success are not being taught in school. In 2012, she founded Creating Positive Futures to help students develop the executive functioning skills, mindset, and study skills they need to excel in school but are often not learning in the classroom. Her unique coaching programs combine research-based strategies about neurobiology and the psychology of learning with the lessons she learned as a student at two Ivy League universities and her experiences teaching and coaching hundreds of teens over the past 10 years.  Top 10 Ways to Stop Meltdowns in Their Tracks In this FREE insider's guide from the experts at ImpactParents, learn 10 tips that will actually help you reduce the frequency and intensity of meltdowns for good!

She takes us through the stages of triggers (aware, alert, alarm) and discusses how different people have different triggers. She talks about raising the level of consciousness and understanding the story that you have told yourself (and then the reaction you have to the story). She highlights the difference between ending an argument versus solving a conflict, how the key to helping someone recover is compassion, how bottom-lining is critical and how important it is to separate the trigger/reaction from problem solving. She also digs deeper into the difference between fake calm and real calm.
