My child is 34. This might have helped. He has high functioning autism diagnosed in 4th grade. Did not respond to “normal discipline.” I put him in time out for what turned out to be autistic meltdowns. Talking it thru now with me and a therapist. Any advice for autism moms? One in 12 boys in California.
Hi Anna. Yes, kids with high functioning autism don’t need an individual approach. I’m sure you learned a lot along your journey. I’m putting together some tools for parents of kids with more specific needs for future publication. Best wishes.
I am a public school prek teacher and this is a great concise article that includes everything I talk with parents about during conferences. It follows Conscious Discipline tenets, a research based program that I’ve been following for over 15 years. In my classroom everything starts with connection!
My son is 3.5 and I realize how j sometimes default back to the more directive parenting. Although I don’t like it but in the moment it feels like it makes things easier. Love the practical approach you bring. Thanks for this one!
Thanks for the positive feedback @Constanze Munz. We all have a default mechanism we don’t like especially when kids are less than perfect! It’s worth remembering that different styles suit different kids and different situations. In other words, there’s a time and place for directive parenting. Enjoy your little man!👍
Thanks Michael for this great article. It's a nice combination of different parenting styles for teaching discipline to kids (authoritative, authoritarian, gentle, Type C, Dolphin parenting, etc.). I enjoyed the read and got some good suggestions. Thank you.
I write for no other reason than to spur thought. Those thoughts take a variety of forms. I just published a short piece, packed with important thoughts for current and future parents. I’d love to connect with others over thoughts/feedback.
I write and train EQ, and this is the best concise guide I've ever encountered. Well done!
Thanks John for the positive feedback.
Is it too late when your children are in their 50’s ?
Ha!! Never!!😂

Great advice, thank you!

Thanks for the feedback @Kunlun | Playful Brains .
I like these principals and they transfer well to school, out patient clinic and daycare expectations.
