Reclaiming Parental Authority: Supporting Families Struggling with Parental Empathy Dysregulation
Description
Parental Empathy Dysregulation is common in families of children with neurodevelopmental differences and has been exacerbated by the ride of parenting social media content that is not based on evidence. Parental Empathy Dysregulation is the catalyst for family accommodation, in which families modify their behavior to alleviate or avoid their child's temporary distress. In the process, the parent-child hierarchy becomes flipped upside down, leading to the child controlling their home dynamic through their behaviors. This session will equip providers with the knowledge to recognize parental empathy dysregulation and help families understand how they can reclaim their parental authority for their child's benefit using an evidence-informed approach.
