How can parents, teachers, and communities better support neurodivergent children? How do autistic and ADHD individuals experience the world? Each week, we explore these questions with practical strategies, emotional insight, and real stories. I’m Greer — a mum of two boys (and two dogs!) raising a child with special educational needs (SEN) alongside my husband. Our daily life looks different from the norm, but it’s full of love, advocacy, and growth. I started this podcast to create a space for parents of neurodivergent kids, educators, and allies to learn, connect, and build understanding together. You’ll hear parenting tips, advocacy guidance, sensory strategies, and personal reflections that shine a light on both the joys and challenges of neurodivergent parenting. Through heartfelt solo episodes and guest interviews, we’ll talk about EHCP or IEP processes, school support, emotional regulation, and the big feelings that come with raising ND kids. Whether you’re here as a parent of an autistic or ADHD child, a late-diagnosed adult, a teacher seeking insight, or someone wanting to understand the neurodivergent world,…","last_synced_at":"2026-09-10T12:24:10.310676+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/neurodivergent-conversations-autism-adhd-audhd-pda-emotional-regulation-send-parent-meltdowns-special-needs-parent-7045757"},"episode":{"title":"Morning Chaos to Morning Wins: How Movement and Mindset Help ADHD Families Break the Loop","slug":"morning-chaos-to-morning-wins-how-movement-and-mindset-help-adhd-families-break-the-loop","published_at":"2026-07-23T04:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/neurodivergent-conversations-autism-adhd-audhd-pda-emotional-regulation-send-parent-meltdowns-special-needs-parent-7045757/morning-chaos-to-morning-wins-how-movement-and-mindset-help-adhd-families-break-the-loop","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/neurodivergent-conversations-autism-adhd-audhd-pda-emotional-regulation-send-parent-meltdowns-special-needs-parent-7045757","url":"https://mgln.ai/e/424/traffic.megaphone.fm/TSF4605108795.mp3","audio_url":"https://mgln.ai/e/424/traffic.megaphone.fm/TSF4605108795.mp3","summary":"If mornings in your house feel like a pressure cooker that goes off before you've even had your coffee — this episode is for you. Greer sits down with Rob Edmonds, co-founder of MindShift Mentors and a strategic psychotherapist and clinical hypnotherapist, and Carl (Col), a movement coach who has worked with over 3,000 families. Together, they've created a program called Morning Wars — a dual approach that combines intentional movement with cognitive pattern reprogramming to help ADHD kids (and their whole families) actually change the morning experience. What they share in this conversation is both validating and genuinely hopeful. Because the message isn't \"your kid needs to be fixed.\" It's that nobody is the problem — the patterns are. And patterns can change. You'll hear them talk about why ADHD brains respond so powerfully to movement, how building a \"bank of morning victories\" can reduce meltdowns later in the day, and why what happens in your household before the school run is often less about your child's behavior and more about the loop the whole family is running together. There's something really grounding in this conversation about the idea that regulation is contagious — in both directions. When mum or dad wakes up already braced for a hard morning, that stress transfers. But when kids start the day doing something that builds their confidence, something shifts for the whole household. They also get practical: one instruction at a time, preparing the night before, specific guided audios and nighttime stories designed for little ones aged 3–10, and movement exercises that get the brain and body actually talking to each other. If you've been doing the same thing every morning and wondering why it isn't working, this episode offers a genuinely different way i…","meta_description":"If mornings in your house feel like a pressure cooker that goes off before you've even had your coffee — this episode is for you.
