Beyond the Behavior: Seeing the Strengths Behind PDA

with Stephanie Rae - Parent Coach & PDA Training Specialist

Stephanie Rae is the founder of Wild Child Parenting, born out of her own journey parenting her own PDA kids, where she coaches parents of neurodivergent kids / PDA kids - and trains teachers, providers, and professionals on how to move into trusting kids to carve their own path to thriving. Her work is helping schools and families build the trust PDA kids need to finally access education - not just survive it.

Stephanie herself is AuDHD, PDA, and part of the LGBTQ+ community, and lives what she teaches — not just studying it from the outside. Her message is simple: trusting children is radical. They already know what they need - if we're willing to listen. And when we finally do, they step into the leaders they were born to be."

Your School Refusal Guide

For parents whose PDA or neurodivergent kid is refusing school, melting down at drop-off, or shutting down the second demands start — this guide breaks down what's actually happening underneath the resistance, and gives you a nervous-system-first approach instead of another compliance-based fix that backfires. A new path forward, based on love and trust instead of force.
