Parenting Beyond Projection
Our own experiences can shape how we respond when our kids struggle—sometimes in ways we don’t even notice. This article looks at how a parent’s fears, expectations, and past experiences can get tangled up with what their neurodivergent child is going through. It’s a helpful read for separating what belongs to us from what our kids actually need.
