Description

Wait time is talked about a lot in teacher training, but not much in parenting content. Giving our kids enough time to think and problem-solve builds so many lifelong skills. But finding the line between productive struggle and full shutdown or meltdown can be really tricky. So today we will talk about wait time: what it is, why it is important, why it is extra important for neurodivergent kids, and how you can use this strategy effectively at home.
