174. Unwrapping the Rule Book; Strategies for Discipline

In this episode, host Shannon Urquiola goes deep into the complex world of disciplining children on the autism spectrum. She begins by emphasizing the importance of setting clear boundaries and expectations for all children, particularly for those on the spectrum who may struggle with understanding unwritten social rules. She provides practical strategies for parents, such as using visual aids and consistent consequences, to help their children navigate these boundaries effectively. Throughout the episode, Shannon illustrates these strategies with specific scenarios that parents commonly encounter, such as managing public meltdowns and handling homework battles. By empowering parents with practical tools and strategies, Shannon aims to help you navigate the unique journey of disciplining children on the autism spectrum with confidence, compassion, and above all consistency.
