Have you ever wondered about the power of language in shaping a child's self-esteem and emotional well-being? Join us for an enlightening conversation with Nova Rose, a dedicated mentor and coach who works to empower neurodiverse children and their families. Nova challenges societal labels and holds a vision for a world where individuals are celebrated and accepted unconditionally for their unique gifts.

Nova offers invaluable advice on how parents can leverage language to validate their child's emotions and cultivate a positive atmosphere at home. She emphasizes using neutral language and shares how shifting from "What's wrong?" to "What's up?" can create a world of difference in making a child feel seen and heard.

We also discuss the significance of teaching children how to ask questions and the relevance of this skill in the era of social media. We reflect upon the negative impacts of punitive measures and share strategies to sustain their learning centers. Lastly, Nova gives us a glimpse into her coaching practice and how she assists families in meeting the needs of their neurodiverse children. This episode is a treasure trove of insights, don't miss it!
