Is PDA Really A Nervous System Disability? The Answer Has Profound Consequences. #25

Tuesday, August 25, 2026 • Duration 32:46

I completely understand why empathetic parents and experts would claim that PDA is a nervous system disability. But I think it can lead to kids feeling a loss of autonomy, parents feeling paralyzed with indecision, and endless accommodations that make kids feel helpless instead of competent and confident. If PDA is not a nervous system disability, that is GOOD NEWS because it means we have more ways to help the kids we love so much. Want personal mentoring with me and extra insights about your child?

The Secret to Motivate PDA Kids Internally When They Reject Every External Demand #24

Tuesday, August 11, 2026 • Duration 08:56

Constant demand avoidance can leave you feeling exhausted and stuck. But behind the refusal lies an utterly fascinating internal world where your kids are building, tinkering, creating, designing, and wrestling with big ideas. Many kids with PDA are secretly pushing and challenging themselves in ways no external reward or consequence could ever match. Discover how shifting your perspective from "external compliance" to "internal drive" helps tap into your child's natural, self-directed motivation.

Tuesday, July 21, 2026 • Duration 24:20

I don’t do fear with parenting, but I am genuinely concerned about mainstream PDA advice that is handicapping many of our kids and robbing them of their childhood.

Your child yells and demands that you bring them food or do something for them, and when you do, they berate you for not doing it right.

I want to give you a middle ground so that you are not left feeling like a punching bag, walking on eggshells around your own child. In this 7-minute episode, I give you scripts and action steps to handle these tough situations with respect and dignity.

Ask Your Child If You Have Pathological Demand Acceptance? #18

Tuesday, June 2, 2026 • Duration 11:23

Many parents going through our PDA Parent Program said this question has helped them see their child with PDA in a completely different way and changed their relationship. A Dad said he’s been so busy trying to please others that he was embarrassed about his son’s behavior—this helped reframe how he saw his child’s demand avoidance. This is a short, but powerful episode I hope you’ll share with others. If you want personal mentoring with me, go to https://CelebrateCalm.com/PDA.
