Parenting Sensitive/Spirited/Neurodivergent Children, Leaving Schools, and Proudly Engaging in Wrongthink - Teva Johnstone

Parenting Sensitive/Spirited/Neurodivergent Children, Leaving Schools, and Proudly Engaging in Wrongthink - Teva Johnstone

Author: Amber Magnolia Hill December 20, 2022 Duration: 1:09:55

Kids today face more challenges- and are showing more signs of distress- than ever before. Parents must learn to effectively co-regulate, repair when things go awry, and create the right environments for our children (be they dandelions, orchids, or somewhere in between). When trending cultural ideologies come to replace ancient biological reality, we must refuse to check our brains at the door and do all that we can to protect childhood. It is the only compassionate, fair, and kind thing to do.

Wrongthink: Beliefs or opinions that run contrary to the prevailing orthodoxy; related to thoughtcrime, doublespeak, and other Orwellian concepts.
