352 The Kids Who Can’t Be Told What to Do: PDA & Low-Demand Parenting (with Casey Ehrlich)
352 The Kids Who Can’t Be Told What to Do: PDA & Low-Demand Parenting (with Casey Ehrlich)Description
What if your child’s resistance, meltdowns, or refusal to do “simple” things isn’t defiance—but a nervous system response?
In this conversation, Kristen talks with Casey Ehrlich, founder of At Peace Parents and one of the leading voices on Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA). Casey is a researcher, parent coach, and mom of two PDA kids who helps families understand the intersection of ADHD, autism, and PDA through a lens of compassion and nervous system science.
Together, they explore what PDA really is, why it shows up so often in ADHD families, and how traditional parenting strategies often backfire when a child’s need for autonomy is being misunderstood as opposition.
