How to Parent Neurodivergent Kids When Your Partner Isn't On Board

EPISODE 30: I’ve spent a decade in this field, and the stories I hear are strikingly similar:

"My partner just doesn’t get it." 

"I’m a single parent, and it's just overwhelming." 

"My partner and I just can’t agree on how to raise our kids."

So this week, we’re taking a deep dive into a topic that hits close to home for so many incredible parents out there:

Parenting neurodivergent kids without a partner (on board)

It’s tough, and you might find yourself feeling lonely or even like you’re failing because you're constantly hitting a wall. This is especially true when you’re trying to introduce something new into your life, like the Calm the Chaos program.

But here’s the thing - even if it feels like you’re on your own, I promise you’re not. And I'm not the only one saying this; we've got a whole community to back it up.

This week, four parents from the Calm the Chaos community (and even one of our coaches) are here to share their stories.

They've been right where you are now, some facing the ups and downs of single parenting, others figuring out how to parent together with their partners despite having different styles.

So, join us as we talk about how to calm the chaos in your family and find ways to thrive, even when it feels like your partner isn’t just off board but is actually adding to the chaos.

Let’s dive in!
