About this episode

After a week off, today we are speaking to a wonderful woman who has been helping children and their families overcome obstacles and challenges, related to learning difficulties, Autism, ADHD, challenging behaviours, and missing developmental milestone for over 20 years. 

Advocacy, kindness and compassion guide her practices with children, their families, and individuals, with the goal to empower them to know their worth and strengths. A co-founder of Thriving Souls, Carrie Green shares her words of wisdom and experiences on everything related to ADHD, challenging behaviours and autism.

Tip: With behavioural change it’s important to give ourselves and our kids as many opportunities as possible whilst keeping with our and our kids authenticity.
To give them all the social skills they need whilst listening to them about what they really need. It needs to be individualised and about what works for you and your child.

Product: ADHD - writing is really hard and so teaching early on some alternatives such as using a typing app.
