How to stop reactive parenting and support Neurodivergent children to thrive

Season 1 · Episode 7

Monday, April 28, 2025 • Duration 36:02

We loved speaking to Madeline Woolgar from Neuro Embrace.

Here are some key takeaways and what you will learn from listening - first up this is an episode for EVERYONE. Not just for parents and carers of Neurodivergent children.

Madeleine shared her experiences and how it has shaped her passion for supporting neurodivergent children and their families.
Madeleine emphasises the importance of raising awareness about neurodiversity, not just for parents of neurodivergent children, but for all parents. Inclusive practices in schools and society can create a more understanding and accepting generation.
Understanding that children's behaviour always has a reason behind it is a core principle of Madeleine's work. She helps parents cultivate curiosity and the capacity to regulate their own emotions in order to better support their children.
Building a supportive community of parents who understand the unique challenges of raising neurodivergent children is crucial. Madeleine's free Facebook group "Nurturing Neurodivergent Children" provides resources and a space for connection.
Madeleine addresses the challenges of feeling judged in public and provides strategies for rebuilding connection with a child, even before a diagnosis. Her approach emphasizes compassion, understanding, and prioritizing emotional well-being.
