Ep. 139 - PDA Child Is Unable To Eat Or Drink Because Of Loose Tooth

January 21
56 mins

Episode Description

In this episode I speak with a mom of a six-year-old PDAer who wouldn't eat or drink and was extremely dysregulated during a holiday because of a loose tooth.

We discussed:

1 - how internal demands and losses of autonomy like losing a tooth matter as much as external demands.

2 - the importance of understanding PDA as a fluctuating nervous system disability.

3 - creative ideas for deepening accommodations the next time there is a loose tooth.

I hope you find the episode helpful. It's from the show we stream live on our social media on Fridays, Parenting PDA Your Way.
