@dr..angelica.shie: I like low-demand; I dont like “all demand” or “no demand.” I also think we need to talk about it how tech decreases capacity for demands and boredom increases it. Parenting pendulums always swing. Meet them where they’re at in the #zoneofproximaldevelopment. #lowdemandparenting #lowdemandlifestyle #parenting #autismspectrum #audhd
Adults have way higher standards for kids than we could ever keep up ourselves. I think this makes a lot of sense!

usually kids who are defiant towards authority or leadership is because they can't trust their own parents to take their self interest into account

Low demand parenting has changed my life with my neurospicy kids. It’s 100% the best thing ever and would work for any kids.

Parenting my pda kid improved my parenting with my non-pda kids. Looking back I fit the pda profile as a kid. It explains the adversarial relationship

I like to say, “find a good stopping place,” before giving the directive.

Yes. It’s so hard to remember this sometimes. I struggle. Because I don’t want to “baby” but I also know what it’s like to NOT want to do something

I'm basically low demand and gentle parenting my partner (and myself). He has some trauma, and we just need to exist and get through the week

My son is only 2.5 but consistently every single time we give him some freedom of a controlled choice (like blue diaper or red diaper) he THRIVES in hard situations. It’s so amazing to watch

I am slowly dropping demands when I can. I would like to hear more discussion about screens. I used to restrict them, and my kids did benefit from lots of unstructured play, but that made demands on

Agreed. My oldest was diagnosed with ODD- and I regret that so much. It really was the result of my inability to attune and parent in a respectful way.

Low demand is more or less that. Just less demand on everyone. Less sports, less cleaning, less rules. Connection, Communication, Boundaries, Privileges and Consequences. All 5 work for every age

Get yourself regulated as a parent and it becomes much easier to make the decision where a hard boundary needs to be set and when to be flexible.
