So for a harmonious home, I think it's important that everyone is not just focusing on the divergent child as being the challenging one- or the difficult one, if you like, because what we all do.
Living with neurodivergent children comes with its unique set of challenges and rewards. In this episode of the Hypno-CBT podcast, Kathy Carter from Arrive Therapy shares practical advice for creating a home environment that truly supports autistic and neurodivergent children. Kathy brings her expertise in Hypno-CBT to the table, offering insights into emotional regulation, co-regulation, and dealing with childhood demand avoidance.
She also delves into the importance of meeting the nutritional needs of food-sensitive children and fostering emotional autonomy and communication within the household. Kathy’s approach is all about celebrating each child's strengths and understanding their unique needs. She emphasizes the importance of parents and caregivers recognizing their own emotional triggers and working on co-regulation to create a more harmonious living space.
With tips on everything from sleep routines to neurodiversity-affirming therapies, Kathy provides a comprehensive guide for parents looking to support their neurodivergent children better. One of the standout points in this episode is the idea of a strengths-based approach.

Kathy also touches on the importance of respecting children’s control needs and ensuring they get enough sleep to maintain balance in the home.
