Wonderful show - truly relatable voices with relevant advice and understanding for parents of kids with diagnoses such as ADHD and anxiety. A delight and a comfort to listen to.
Listening to this podcast has taught me so much. As a special educator, I am always looking for new ways to support my students. This podcast has made me think differently and provided me with some new ideas to use in the classroom.
I’ve tried a bunch of ND parenting podcasts recently, and this one is my favorite. It is hopeful and empowering, not bogged down by stigma or sensationalism. Episodes and short and digest-able, and they offer hope as well aa practical advice.
Thanks so much for this podcast! I feel like I have found my tribe! Your podcast is so informative and comforting too. It’s great to know I’m not alone! Thanks!!!
This has had me crying but in a good way. I don’t know who I can talk to but this podcast has been very therapeutic for me and my husband. Please come out with more!!
Thank you so much for this podcast! Laura said everything I’ve been feeling for 6.5 years with my son with ADHD. Thank you for sharing your honest and vulnerable thoughts and reflections on these incredibly difficult parenting challenges. I don’t feel so alone in it now.
Omg! I wish I could give this 100 stars! I learn for my child with ADHD and students who learn differently, which includes ADHD. I face hard truths when listening and either leave with confirmation of best practices or new strategies to employ. I cannot thank the creators enough!❤️
Awesome quick bits of information that make parents of atypical kids feel sane again. Relatable, funny, and well narrated. Just the right length for a hot cup a coffee and a minute to yourself during a hectic day!
This podcast was needed by parents everywhere. Ive just stared listening to old episodes and I’m sad there aren’t more.
I’m giving this 4stars because I think this is great for what it is and that we need more of it. I will say though that I don’t quite agree with everything (for example the discipline episode included always following through on a threat/punishment without the needed addendum to ‘make sure your punishment/threat is realistic and appropriate’ or decide if whatever they are doing is a problem for you/someone else or a real problem, eg is it just irritating or is it actually something ‘wrong’ (very few things tend to fall into that category). I’ll be emailing them with more direct feedback that I hope they read.
Hope to hear more from this podcast soon!
Updated to add: The episodes so far have been both interesting and informative. It's great to hear the voices of other people going through similar things to what my family and I are dealing with all the time. And the experts sound kind and caring as well as authoritative. It's nice to hear suggestions from people who both know what they are talking about and understand that we parents have legitimate concerns.
Parenting is hard and parenting a kid with issues is even harder. It’s so lonely and scary and it feels like the whole system is set up to frustrate you and your kid.
Finding a podcast of stories from other people who are going through the same (or similar) issues is such a relief I almost started to cry.
The first episode was TOO SHORT. I know, it’s a “teaser.” Consider me teased.
TILT Parenting is the bar by which I judge other special needs parenting podcasts — and this much newer podcast has the same blend of information, empathy, humor and practical considerations for those of us in the partnering trenches with our “differently wired” (to use Debbie Reber’s term) kids. Can’t wait for more! ❤️👍🏼😀
Only two episodes in, and I’ve LOLed and cried! Thank you for providing this support and resource to parents who can feel utterly alone (even when we know statistically that we’re not!). I’m already spreading the word and can’t wait for future episodes!
I love this podcast. I felt understood and validated because I feel a lot like how the people that spoke go through as well. I know that my child is amazing and that he is not broken. I prayed today and told God that he chose me to be his mom because he is so amazing and that I can handle this with his help. Please keep the podcasts coming because it made me feel not alone 😊
I loved this podcast as a mother of child who has ADHD I can totally relate to this episode. People constantly try to tell me that Patrick is just a boy being a boy and that he’ll be fine before he was diagnosed and even when it came time to make the decision to use medication people just don’t get it. Everything that is being said here is what I have experienced in my day to day life and it’s so good to know we are not alone. Keep up the great work!!!
This is great! I work in a school in special education and I love listening to the Podcasts. It’s important to continually hear others perspectives and to educate ourselves. Thanks for doing the Podcasts!
An incredible podcast providing insight and support around topics and issues many of us are too scared to talk about. It means so much to know we’re not alone in our journeys.
This is an amazing new Podcast by Understood! A must listen for educators & administrators to understand the stress we can put on children & their families! We really must build a culture where every student knows they are needed in this world & a group of supporters who will ensure their success in education!
What an amazing resource that resonates so much with me as a parent. It’s an incredible tool to build empathy and bridges across all the people who support individuals with learning and attention issues.
