Elaine Taylor-Klaus: Shifting our expectations (without lowering them)
About this episode
Episode 72 with Elaine Taylor-Klaus.
"When kids are diagnosed with ADHD, there’s an underlying belief that you just need to discipline them better. That stigma doesn’t exist with other learning disabilities."
Author, parent educator & certified coach, Elaine is the co-creator of ImpactParents and the Sanity School® behavior therapy training program. She is also the author of “The Essential Guide to Raising Complex Kids with ADHD, Anxiety and More.”
Elaine provides training, coaching, and support worldwide, empowering parents to guide their children, teens, and young adults to become independent and successful.
We talk about our own experiences with academic expectations growing up and how to break old habits and patterns as parents to neurodivergent kids. And we also talk about the coach approach and the importance of shifting our expectations of ourselves (without lowering them) as successful women and as parents.
