doctor jo's parenting plan
PSYCHOLOGICAL SUPPORT SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED FOR PARENTS OF NEURODIVERGENT CHILDREN
We understand that parenting a neurodivergent young person comes with some unique challenges. Often routine parenting suggestions - star charts, the naughty step, rewards - simply don't work in the same way for neurodivergent young people. The differences continue into adolescence and beyond! Everything Doctor Jo does is with the needs of neurodivergent young people in mind so you'll know that the explanations and suggestions are aimed at you. Neurodivergent people often need to 'fit in' to what is expected, but not here!
