Fresh Take: Dr. Emily Edlynn on Autonomy-Supportive Parenting

How do we reconcile the desire to give our kids independence with the desire to protect them from the world? Dr. Emily Edlynn, author of the new book Autonomy-Supportive Parenting: Reduce Parental Burnout and Raise Competent, Confident Children, explains how we can let go of the anxiety-driven controlling impulses inherent in modern parenting.

In this interview, Dr. Edlynn and Margaret discuss:

• The intersection of autonomy-supportive parenting and neurodiverse kids
• What an autonomy-supportive environment looks like (and what gets in the way)
• Tools we can use to prevent overparenting
