  • Episode 26 - Can looking at the neurodivergent brain help us better support it? With Daniel Lane
    Dec 12 2025

    We say it all the time, if you've met one neurodivergent person then you've met one neurodivergent person. So how then do we tailor our strategies and supports to help someone with their individual needs? But what if we could get some guidance?

    Using QEEG brain mapping and imaging, it is possible to look at how the brain functions to see which areas need greater support.

    We chat to Daniel Lane from the Perth Brain Centre about how this works and how we can use this information to help us scaffold our children where they need us most.

    Nov 12 2025

    Let's be real, talking to our kids about body changes and hormones feels scary. It's messy and giggly and feels a bit weird... How do we then navigate the added challenge that neurodiversity can sometimes bring?

    We chat candidly with Heather Jolly from Family Planning NSW about how to get the conversation started... and ensure it can continue.

    Part 1 is all about accessing information and how to share it. Let's dive in!

  • Ep 24 - The importance of neuroaffirming parenting... and why it's not permissive parenting
    Sep 18 2025

    What are neuroaffirming and low demand parenting? Why are they important? And could they have the ability to alter the energy in your family home?

    Celebrating the individualism of your unique child and placing them at the centre of the decisions made about them is the most effective way to create a positive self image for your child. But what does this look like in practice? And how do we balance this against the need for boundaries and structure?

    We’ll also talk about how these are different to permissive parenting , and the risks that permissive parenting poses to yourself and your relationship with your child.

    How do we walk the line to do the best for our child when parenting is already more complex than for many of those around us?

    Let’s discuss!
