How to get husband on board with PDA parenting
He is middle eastern, old school and while he does believe in adhd and autism as he can see how it has affected his own life as well as mine, he still thinks children should be displicined old school and always show respect and listen to mom and dad. He views PDA parenting as a form of gentle parenting. I understand you can’t make anyone do anything but is there someone who could maybe help him understand. A behavioural therapist?
I think it will be very effective with my son as he is ‘high functioning’ (sorry hate that word) and masks a lot. I also know pda parenting won’t be very effective if two parents are both not on board.
This is the challenges of having children in a marriage I guess. Yeah you may agree on how you will raise them, screen time limits, what foods they eat, what time they go to bed etc etc. But having a neurodivergent child and learning as you go can definitely be challenging as times for both parties
