We’re here to help you breakdown the diagnosis, navigate the big feelings and hear stories of real family life.

Ep 30 - Talking to your tween about puberty Part 3 with Planet Puberty - Taboo Topics Part 4
We're back with the team from Planet Puberty to cover one of puberty's biggest changes - emotions!
This week we dive into mood swings, extreme feelings, lust, friendships and why the brain suddenly spits the dummy.
As parents, how can we support our tweens and teens through this tricky stage? And how do we keep ourselves sane?! We talk about all this and more and see what we can detangle.

Episode 29 - Making and keeping adult friends when you have neurodivergent children
Remember friendships before children?! Heading out somewhere on a whim, staying up late chatting with wine, regular Saturday walks with coffee, people being available?! We go through a huge transition of how our friendships look when children come into our lives.
But what happens when your child is neurodivergent? When milestones look different, social outings need scaffolding and specialist appointments fill your calendar? How do our friendships change?
We chat to three parents of neurodivergent children on what their own friendship journey has been like.

Ep 28 - Understanding assessments and seeing your child beyond the tick boxes
The discovery process of understanding our little neurodivergent ones can be an emotional and daunting experience. We can see our children weighed for what they can’t do, have lists made of their deficits and feel our children squeezed into boxes.
We'll discuss some of the more frequently used assessments, what they're for and how they're measured. And most importantly, how do we still see our children beyond the reports and results?
We’re joined by Stephanie Van Velzen, Occupational Therapist, once again and Rose Purse, Speech Pathologist, who share their knowledge of assessments and their passion for understanding the individuality of each child.
