Summary

Our identity influences our behavior and vice versa, creating a cycle that can elevate or drag us down. By focusing on how we see ourselves and affirming the identity we aspire to, we interrupt negative patterns and cultivate growth. It's a transformative tool not only for my kids (I explain in the episode!) but for anyone seeking to improve their lives. Identity is indeed the key to unlocking potential.

1:00.0	You may know this about my family, but of our five kids, three for sure have been diagnosed as neurodiverse.
1:07.1	And for some of them, more than just one neurodiversity, we don't really know where it comes from.
1:12.1	Brad and I are neurotypical, so we're not quite sure what the genetics are, although in our
1:17.1	expanded families, we can see how it may play out more in my side than in Brad's.
1:21.4	But one of the interesting things about each of these kids is, one, each of their neurodiverse
1:26.3	tendencies are very different, but two, in one
1:29.4	important way, they all have this in common. The way they see themselves affects the way that
1:35.7	they behave. Now, I don't typically cross over and a lot of parenting tactics here, but this is
1:41.9	more about how we can parent ourselves. So keep that in
1:44.9	mind as I tell you a little bit about one of the ways we've tried to harness having a good, clear,
1:49.9	positive self-image for each of these kids as we work on their behaviors. And I'm going to tell you
