The way you listen changes everything!
If conversations with your neurodivergent teen feel harder lately, it’s not too late to reconnect. With a few small shifts in how you listen, you can restore peace, trust, and closeness.
Launching Your Kids into Adulthood Can Feel Harder Than Raising Them
Becoming a mom is a profound journey. You not only have to learn to embrace a new identity, but you also have to learn how to care for and raise your child.
As hard as this is to believe, launching your children into adulthood might feel even harder! And it gets more complex when your child is neurodivergent.
This season invites a new kind of courage. You’re learning to let go of control while still being a steady presence as they begin to find their own way. It can feel both beautiful and bewildering all at once.
Even as your teenagers grow into young adults and assert their independence, one thing doesn’t have to change: you can remain a safe place for them to land and continue deepening the connection you’ve built over the years.
