Autistic Masking with Jenn Glacel

Épisode 102

mardi 22 avril 2025 • Durée 41:16

In this episode of the Complicated Kids Podcast, I’m joined once again by the brilliant Jenn Glacel to talk about the often misunderstood concept of masking, particularly in autistic folks. We dig into the unconscious ways masking shows up as a survival response, how it begins in infancy, and how it can shape a child’s (and adult’s!) sense of self. Jenn shares her personal experience of exhaustion and discovery, and we explore what it means to unmask and reconnect with the body’s sensory experience.

Masking with Sara Bybee Fisk

Épisode 89

mardi 21 janvier 2025 • Durée 30:45

In this episode of The Complicated Kids Podcast, I sit down with coach and educator Sara Bybee Fisk to explore masking—where it comes from, how it affects our children, and how it shows up in parenting.

We unpack how kids are taught from a young age to suppress their true selves to meet adult expectations, often at the cost of their own dignity and nervous system regulation. Sara shares powerful insights about the masking behaviors we see in both neurotypical and neurodivergent kids, and we talk about ways parents can create more compassionate, dignified interactions with their children.

The Seriousness of Play and Early Childhood Education with Dan Wuori

Épisode 88

mardi 14 janvier 2025 • Durée 23:56

This episode of The Complicated Kids Podcast discusses the intricacies of early childhood education with guest Dan Wouri, author of The Daycare Myth. We have a dynamic conversation about the disconnection between what science tells us about early development and how public policy often fails to reflect those insights.

Together, we explore the importance of nurturing interactions, the dangers of pushing academic expectations onto young children, and how current childcare systems can either support or hinder brain development. Packed with thought-provoking insights and actionable ideas, this episode offers parents, educators, and policymakers a fresh perspective on what it truly means to support children in their most formative years.
