Parenting a Mixed Bag

Parenting a Mixed Bag is all about parenting both neurotypical and neurodiverse children under the same roof. In this conversation, Dr. Aqdas Tariq and I delve into the complexities of parenting, particularly focusing on the challenges faced by parents of neurodivergent children. They discuss the emotional toll of parenting, the importance of celebrating small victories, and the balance needed between the needs of neurodivergent and neurotypical children. The conversation emphasizes the significance of effective communication, managing guilt, and the unique challenges faced by siblings of neurodivergent children. Additionally, they touch on the role of advocacy and the necessity of self-care for parents to prevent burnout. You can find Dr. Aqdas on instagram as draqdastariq
