About this listen
This is the third episode of our three-part series on navigating hygiene with your PDA child or teen. (Pathological Demand Avoidance/Pervasive Drive for Autonomy)
In this episode, I talk through practical strategies to support a PDA child or teen with the following:
- Bathing and Showering
- Hair Washing
- Hair Brushing
- Nail Clipping
- Hand Washing
- Getting Dressed
I also discuss the logic of why accessing hygiene is difficult of some PDA children and teens, help you prioritize which hygiene practices *actually* matter to health and well-being and which you may be able to let go, and provide tons of examples of how to use accommodations such as:
- Lowering demands
- Autonomy
- Equality
- Novelty
I hope this episode lowers your stress level as a parent and gives you creative ideas to experiment with as you provide caregiving to your PDA child or teen!
xo,
Casey
