We are a safe space for parents who have historically felt like there isn't a place for them in the parenting advice world. At Brain First Parenting, we see each child as a unique individual with a unique brain, who deserves accommodations to thrive in a world that is frequently not set up for people with neurobehavioral challenges. We prioritize supporting the parents of these kids and teens so that they can, in turn, feel hope and confidence and joy in their parenting experience.","last_synced_at":"2026-06-15T20:17:39.315978+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/brain-first-parenting-with-eileen-devine-7069827"},"episode":{"title":"Ep. 19 | Rethinking What It Means to Be Resilient","slug":"ep-19-rethinking-what-it-means-to-be-resilient","published_at":"2025-06-30T09:00:35+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/brain-first-parenting-with-eileen-devine-7069827/ep-19-rethinking-what-it-means-to-be-resilient","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/brain-first-parenting-with-eileen-devine-7069827","url":"https://podcasts.helloaudio.fm/download/ZzWs5wxw7J/0279ff0e-c6f3-4837-bbf8-c43eaf96bf79.mp3","audio_url":"https://podcasts.helloaudio.fm/download/ZzWs5wxw7J/0279ff0e-c6f3-4837-bbf8-c43eaf96bf79.mp3","summary":"SUMMARY - This podcast dives into what resilience is and why it's essential for parents of kids with challenging behavioral symptoms to not only understand what it is, but steps they can take to build it each day. TAKEAWAYS: It is imperative as parents of complex kids with intense needs that you understand what it is and how to build it each day.
