“How can I help my child with emotional regulation?” “Is my child’s behavior a sign of something more?” “Who can help me as I parent a child with developmental differences?” — As parents, our children’s behavior can be frustrating and disheartening. But what if that behavior is unspoken communication? Benoit Harpey discusses this and more with Dr. Amanda Trovato, clinical psychologist at the ELS for Autism Foundation today. Dr. Trovato shares her story and insights on helping children with autism and other developmental differences. She tells us that everyone involved in a child’s life is a caregiver; whether teacher, psychologist, or parent, and that it takes collaboration between all of them to cultivate significant growth. She also explains the power of routine, the secrets to better emotional regulation, and why structure and empathy are better than strict discipline. This is only half of our conversation with Dr. Trovato! In part two, we’ll discuss more applicable parenting tips and strategies.
