š± Gentle Grown-Up Note
Episode 4 focuses on:
- reducing pressure
- practicing tiny steps
- pacing and co-regulation
- letting the child choose the size of the step
- celebrating trying, not finishing
āBraveā doesnāt need to be big.
For many neurodivergent children, being brave might look like:
- touching something new
- looking at a new space
- taking one breath before deciding
- asking for help
- choosing to stop
Small steps count.
Small steps are progress.
