Episode #282
EP282 How to Reconnect With a Disconnected Kid (Part 3)
Sep 2, 202626 min
Reconnecting with a kid who's pulled away doesn't have to happen all at once. Elaine and Diane wrap their three-part series on relationship repair by focusing on small, doable steps — texts that don't ask for a reply, sharing popcorn on the couch, asking permission before offering advice. They talk about why their sense of safety (not your good intentions) is what determines whether your kid lets you back in, and how the phrase "up until now" can free you from the guilt spiral so you can actually get started. If you're rebuilding trust with your neurodivergent kid, this series is your roadmap. Catch up on parts one and two if you haven't yet, and let us know: what's one small reconnection move you're going to try this week? What to expect in this episode: Why small, everyday gestures — not big talks — are the best starting point for reconnecting with a disconnected kid The "up until now" reframe and how it helps parents let go of guilt and blame so they can move forward Why their feeling of safety, not your good intentions, determines whether your kid lets you back in How asking permission before offering advice restores a kid's sense of agency The four phases of parenting (director, collaborator, supporter, champion) and why so many parents get stuck in director mode Download free guide: Top 12 Tips To Help Your Complex Kids Connect with ImpactParents: Instagram Facebook LinkedIn Substack
EP281 When Your Teen Pulls Away: Rebuilding Trust After Conflict
Aug 26, 202623 min
Does it feel like your kid is pulling away? Always closing their door, avoiding you, or talking to you only when they have to? For neurodiverse families, this shift often comes from normal development colliding with an already taxed parent-child relationship. In this episode, Elaine and Diane dig into where that disconnect happens and what actually works to rebuild trust and connection with your kid. They unpack the shift from "I'm afraid for you" to "I believe in you," and why that one mindset change can transform your dynamic. If you've been feeling shut out, this is your on-ramp back in. What to expect in this episode: Why a teenager pulling away and closing their door is often a normal part of development, not necessarily a red flag How the parent's role as "director" can create a second layer of disconnection on top of natural individuation A reframe of "trust" as a felt sense of safety and comfort, not just honesty or truth-telling A practical mindset shift — "I believe in you" instead of "I'm afraid for you" — and why it changes how our kids experience us Why creating space for an uncertain (but very possible) positive future can help you calm enough to make reconnection possible Download free guide: Top 12 Tips To Help Your Complex Kids Connect with ImpactParents: Instagram Facebook LinkedIn Substack
EP280 SODA: The Four Ways Parents Get Reactive (And How to Recognize Them)
Aug 19, 202623 min
Ever feel like you're spiraling? If it seems like nothing you try is working and you're somehow driving your kid further away, you're not alone—and it's not just about your kid. In this episode, Elaine and Diane dig into the parent experience—the overwhelm, frustration, guilt, and worry that show up when we're raising complex kids, and why noticing our own reactivity (hello, SODA: shut down, offense, defense, avoid) is the first step to showing up differently. If you've ever wondered why you react the way you do, this one's for you. Hit play. What to expect in this episode: Why the parent experience—not the kid's—is often the missing piec An introduction to SODA: the four common reactive patterns (Shut down, Offense, Defense, Avoid) and how to spot yours The difference between being "aware," "alert," and "alarmed,” and why many parents live in alert without realizing it Why uncertainty, even more than the actual problem, is often what makes parents feel unsafe A reminder that feeling alone in this struggle is a signal worth paying attention to, not a truth about your situation Download free guide: Top 12 Tips To Help Your Complex Kids Connect with ImpactParents: Instagram Facebook LinkedIn Substack
EP279 Why Won't My ADHD Kid Just Start? A New Theory of Motivation
Aug 12, 202633 min
Ever look at your ADHD kid and think, "I know they want to do well — so why can't they just get started?" This week, cognitive engineer and ADHD coach Jeff Copper joins Elaine to break down a completely new way of understanding motivation and executive function. You'll learn why "unmotivated" is almost always the wrong word, why extra time isn't the accommodation you think it is, and why talking things through with your kid might be one of the most powerful tools you have. This one's dense — you may want to listen twice. Tap in for a total shift in how you see effort, motivation, and what your ADHD kid is actually up against. What to expect in this episode: A new way to understand ADHD motivation using Dr. Russell Barkley's two-brain model Why calling executive function an "impairment" can actually reduce shame, not increase it Why rewards and willpower fall short as long-term motivation strategies Why extra time isn't the relief parents assume it is Why talking things through with your kid is a real, research-backed accommodation About Jeff Copper Jeff Copper is a cognitive engineer and ADHD coach.

EP278 High-Conflict Divorce to Co-Parenting Peace: A Real Success Story
Aug 5, 202638 min
High-conflict divorce can feel like a life sentence — especially when you're fighting over your child's health and well-being, and neither parent will budge. In this episode, Elaine sits down with Alanah, an attorney and civil rights advocate, who shares how she transformed a near-litigation co-parenting nightmare into a working relationship built on mutual respect and collaboration. Alanah breaks down the exact shift that changed everything — and what she did when her co-parent wasn't on board yet. If you've ever felt trapped in a conflict you can't get out of, this one's for you. Listen now and find out what's actually possible. What to expect in this episode: The parenting covenant strategy: How Alanah transformed a stack of legal pleadings into a clear, shared vision, and how to distill what you actually want from a conflict so you can start working toward it. What to do when your co-parent isn't on board: Practical guidance on enrolling a resistant co-parent in a new vision without forcing it on them. Why alignment beats agreement: The crucial difference between trying to agree on specifics and starting with what you both already share: your child's well-being. Real-time coaching and "texting from the ledge": Why practicing new patterns in the middle of a real conflict, not just during a coaching session, is what makes change stick. The shift from "have to" to "get to": How Alanah moved from feeling like a prisoner in her co-parenting dynamic to feeling genuinely liberated and what that shift actually required.
