Hi, this is Janet Lansbury. Welcome to Unruffled. I'm happy to introduce my guest Debbie Reber. She's a parenting

author, a podcast host, and an activist who founded tilt parenting to guide support and

create a community for parents of kids who are neurodivergent or what Debbie calls differently wired.

More than 20% of children today have these differences, which include ADHD, learning disabilities,

autism, giftedness, processing challenges, and more.

And it's common for parents to feel overwhelmed, depleted, misunderstood, alone and lost without any kind of roadmap, no clear path.

Debbie has loads of help and resources and hope for you. I'm grateful to have her here to share with all of us.

Hi Debbie, welcome to Unruffled.

Hey Joten, I'm so happy to be here.

I'm so glad to have you here. I've been looking forward to this for many reasons.

First of all, because sometimes when I'm offering feedback or advice, or maybe oftentimes when I'm offering you know whatever I offer the resources that I offer I

content to neglect to consider the

additional challenges that parents with neurodivergent kids face and what works to help

neurotypical kids can sometimes be too little or too much to help children who are wired differently.

So I'm appreciating so much

that you're going to be able to share your perspective.

Well, I'm happy to bring this perspective

and it always excites me to get to expand, you know, understanding among parents who have neuro-typical kids or parents who might have kids that they're like, hmm, I don't know if something going on here or not so I love talking about this I'm really excited.

Wonderful. Also I just finished your book I love it and I was struck by how relatable everything you share is for parents.

Everything you share, really. I can't think of anything that isn't relatable on some level to every parent.
