031- Avoiding Conflict & Power Struggles with Our Emotionally Intense Kids with Afsaneh Moradian

Welcome back to "Parenting the Intensity"!

In today's episode, we have the pleasure of hosting Afsaneh Moradian, a homeschooling coach and advocate for effective communication with children. Together, Afsaneh and host Anouk explore the intricacies of addressing power struggles and fostering open communication with children, particularly neurodivergent kids. They also discuss the advantages and challenges of homeschooling, emphasizing a personalized approach that caters to children's emotional and learning needs. Join us as we uncover valuable insights and practical strategies for nurturing a deeper connection with your children.

3 key takeaways:

1️⃣ Understanding and Supporting Emotionally Intense Children: Afsaneh emphasizes the importance of avoiding power struggles with emotionally intense children and understanding the reasons behind their behavior. Parents are encouraged to address underlying emotions and narratives while approaching situations with patience and empathy.

2️⃣ Homeschooling as a Personalized Approach for Neurodivergent Children: Afsaneh advocates for homeschooling as an opportunity to create a customized learning experience for neurodivergent children, offering intellectual challenge, creative expression, critical thinking, and independent learning.

3️⃣ Building Effective Communication with Children: Afsaneh stresses the importance of developing and practicing effective communication skills with children, particularly in the face of challenging behaviors. By understanding the underlying issues that prevent children from complying with parental requests, parents can facilitate smoother and quicker resolutions without engaging in power struggles.

"What your child is experiencing has nothing to do with you. Children are the centers of their own universes."
