## Resource

SUMMARY - As parents, we all have high priorities as they relate to our kids and these high priorities are directly tied to our concern and care for them, wanting them to do well and develop into independent, responsible adults. This episode helps listeners think about their own priorities they hold, as they relate to their kids, and what needs to be considered when your child lives with a neurobehavioral condition. TAKEAWAYS: All parents have priorities related to their kids and these priorities are tied to the parent's deeply held beliefs and values. Having a high priorities as a parent are a reflection of the concern and care for their child. One's brain (cognitive skills) are required when working to meet the expectations or complete the task that are inherent in those high priorities held by parents. This is why parents of kids with brain-based differences need to routinely evaluate whether or not their high priorities are in alignment with their child's neurobiology (brain and nervous system).
