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. 27 | Supporting Your Neurodivergent Learner w/ Dr. Emily King","slug":"ep-27-supporting-your-neurodivergent-learner-w-dr-emily-king","published_at":"2025-10-20T09:00:53+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/brain-first-parenting-with-eileen-devine-7069827/ep-27-supporting-your-neurodivergent-learner-w-dr-emily-king","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/brain-first-parenting-with-eileen-devine-7069827","url":"https://podcasts.helloaudio.fm/download/ZzWs5wxw7J/6d2acdbb-f8ef-401a-be2d-296f37a8dd40.mp3","audio_url":"https://podcasts.helloaudio.fm/download/ZzWs5wxw7J/6d2acdbb-f8ef-401a-be2d-296f37a8dd40.mp3","summary":"SUMMARY - In this episode, Eileen speaks with Dr. Emily King, a psychologist with extensive experience working in schools and supporting neurodivergent youth about how parents can support their neurodivergent learners. TAKEAWAYS: Neuro-affirming environments are environments that are aligned with each person's nervous system. There are some key ways that adults/teachers can set up environments to support regulation in kids/students and \"level the playing field\" amongst students. Communication with teachers should happen early and often. Collaboration is most effective when the parent and teacher share what they are seeing behaviorally from the child in each of their unique settings and brainstorm accommodations based on this shared knowledge. Recognizing cognitive fatigue as a major factor in the child's behavior is essential to their success. Any a synchronicity in a child's skills is often misinterpreted as willful behavior instead of differences across skill sets.
