I understand...
Hi, I’m Samantha. I empower parents of neurodivergent children to feel confident, supported, and informed as they navigate the unique journey of raising their children. As a board-certified music therapist and Positive Discipline Parenting Consultant, I provide compassionate guidance and evidence-based strategies to foster understanding, celebrate neurodiversity, and help families thrive.
I understand the challenges of parenting neurodivergent children firsthand. To be honest, my journey raising three children diagnosed with autism, ADHD, and other things hasn’t been easy. Beyond managing daily tasks, these challenges were layered with fears of failure, perfectionism, judgment, and grappling with imposter syndrome. It's incredibly draining, never knowing if you're making the right decisions.
Questions like:
Are my kids receiving enough therapy, or perhaps too much?
Should I homeschool or keep them in traditional schooling?
Why don't they want to invite friends over?
Have I damaged my relationship with them during moments of overstimulation?
It's disheartening when traditional parenting methods don't seem to work, but what else is there? I deeply understand the worries about your children when they don't look like their peers, and you notice people judging. It wasn’t until I found a community that I felt more empowered in my parenting and confident in my choices. It doesn’t mean that I feel confident all the time, but I know there’s always someone in my corner. Now, I realize the critical importance of having a supportive community where we can share ideas, vent, and learn from each other. I believe that together, as parents, we possess the collective wisdom needed to effectively support our children.
