It can be really challenging to know if we\u2019re parenting too much or too little. Especially when we have a son or daughter, that\u2019s neurodiverse and has some developmental delays or extra challenges. When your child enters the adulting transition, it can get even more complicated.

How much should we support and how much should we back off? What\u2019s helpful and what\u2019s not. Too little support and management may hinder their progress because they don\u2019t have what they need. Too much support and management can also impede their growth and development.

In this episode, I offer perspectives to help you stay out of the extremes and look at parenting differently. I also offer you what I have found to be key in experiencing more parenting wins, no matter where your son or daughter is in their development or how much managing they need.
