Neurodivergent Catholic PARENTING

Your children are a study in contrasts. Brilliant, but can’t get dressed in a timely manner. Witty, but struggles to tie his shoes. Totally independent and yet terrified of going outside when it’s windy. Prone to angry, violent outbursts when underneath lies a heart of gold. 

Your kids are beautifully, wonderfully different, and you’re grateful God gave them to you. But the question is: how do you prepare these intense, curious, creative children for the world outside your home?  

Parenting your neurodivergent Catholic kids requires a three-fold approach

Knowledge

Understanding the reasoning behind your child’s habits and quirks is an integral part of raising neurodivergent children. 

Connection

Walking away from the comparison trap means letting go of “what-if” and embracing the child you have right now.

Support

Teaching your child specific strategies for success will help your child thrive – not just survive.
