Why Waiting for Them to Get Motivated Is a Bad Idea with Debbie
About this episode
Ever feel like you’re stuck in a waiting game, hoping your child, teen, or young adult will finally find the motivation to move forward? It’s a common struggle, especially when you’re parenting an autistic and/or neurodivergent, but here’s the hard truth: waiting for motivation is a losing strategy.
In this episode of the Autism and Neurodiversity podcast, I’m diving into why waiting for them to get motivated will only make things harder and what they need from you as their parent that is actually helpful.
