380: Diane Dempster and Collaborative Parent Dynamics (Local Professional Series)

Rachel Kapp, M.Ed., BCET, and Stephanie Pitts, M.Ed., BCET welcome back Diane Dempster, co-founder of Impact Parents. She discusses the different flavors of parent roles in the educational therapy process (“you handle it,” “micromanager,” and “in-betweeners”). She shares about the importance of creating a relationship with parents and personalizing the relationship. She also shares a tool, AC-E (acknowledge, show compassion, wait and explore) that can help diffuse upregulated situations. They once again discuss the differences between boundaries and agreements as well as discussions about recalibration of collaborative agreements.   Connect with Diane: Parenting with Impact impactparenting.com/podcast  Homework Without Headaches Workshop: https://impactparents.securechkout.com/HomeworkWorkshopSpecial?orid=23056&opid=255 10 Parenting Tips for School Success: https://impactparents.pages.ontraport.net/homework-headaches-freebie?utm_campaign=imp-freebie&utm_source=learn-smarter-podcast&utm_medium=event&utm_content=hh   Support us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/learnsmarterpodcast   How to connect with us: Join our e-mail list Rachel’s Kapp Educational Therapy Group website Steph’s My Ed Therapist website  @learnsmarterpodcast, @kappedtherapy, @myedtherapist   Other episodes mentioned:  Ep 135: Parenting your Complex Kid with Elaine Taylor-Klaus (Author Series) Ep 149: How to Prioritize while Parenting with Elaine Taylor-Klaus and Diane Dempster (Author Series) Ep 157: Anatomy of the Trigger with Diane Dempster (Parenting Series)
