TPP 402: Parent Lean-In: How Can I Help My Autistic Child with Low Self-Esteem?
EpisodeSep 5, 202418m
Parent coach Margaret Webb and Debbie discuss how to help an autistic child with low self-esteem. They explore the importance of giving the child time to regulate and be alone, rather than assuming it is a sign of low self-esteem. They also discuss the window shade age, where children become aware of their differences from their peers. They emphasize the need to support effort rather than outcome and to make sure the child feels valued. The conversation ends with a reminder to trust in oneself as a parent and seek support if needed. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
