Episode 8 - Deborah Winking, PhD - 12 Habits for Raising Capable Kids ​

There are countless books on parenting - but what happens when you’re raising a child who experiences the world differently and is often underestimated? Deborah Winking, PhD joins us to share insights from her book Raising Capable Kids, which walks parents through 12 habits - using story, science and prompts for self reflection - that allow parents to understand and apply these habits in their day to day lives. We explore topics like learned helplessness at the hands of well-intentioned adults, the power of productive struggle, creating opportunities for children to experience consequences, and the risks of over-identifying with a diagnosis. While this conversation centers on children with disabilities, these tools are relevant for every parent who wants to raise confident, resilient children. LINKS:Connect with Deborah Winking at [email protected] the book: Raising Capable Kids: The 12 Habits Every Parent Needs Regardless of their Child's Label or Challenge ***Exploring the Spectrum Listeners: enter the code RCK20 for a 20% discount and Free Shipping code for "Raising Capable Kids"Get the book: Capable: A Story of Triumph For Children the World has Judged as "Different"Website Facebook Instagram Youtube: Capable Conversations with Dr Deb
