To all my valued clients! As you know I'm going on a trip between July 29 and August 4. This is just an extra reminder that any sessions during those dates will not go ahead.

If anyone would like a reschedule I will be in Dapto office Monday and Tuesday this week and have two available sessions 11.30 and 12.30 each day. Reach out via email [email protected]

Jordan will be there for her sessions. 💃🎉

Bonus picture of Julio below as a reminder of how wonderful our pets are. I hope everybody's weekend was restful.

Take care, Jazz.

Discipline isn’t about being harsh. It’s about being clear, calm, and consistent. 🤍

Kids learn best when we stop reacting emotionally and start teaching intentionally.
The goal isn’t raising “obedient” children.. it’s raising children who understand boundaries, respect, and self-control.

The little moments matter:
• saying it once
• following through
• staying calm
• teaching what TO do, not just what not to do

Connection + consistency will always go further than fear. ✨

Why does a simple request like brushing teeth or turning off a device lead to tears, anger or a complete shutdown?

For some autistic children and young people, everyday demands can trigger intense anxiety. Pathological Demand Avoidance - PDA - is not about bad behaviour or poor parenting. It is about feeling overwhelmed, unsafe and out of control. The more pressure a child feels, the stronger the need to avoid.

When adults understand that behaviour is anxiety driven, everything changes. Lowering pressure. Offering real choices. Staying calm. Building trust before trying to correct. These small shifts can reduce conflict at home and school and protect a child’s emotional wellbeing.

If you support a child or teenager with PDA, this is a conversation worth having.

Like the photo and comment "PDA" and we will send you a message with a link to a free PDF of this resource.

You can get your ticket to our next parent carer course through the PDA Training Hub. These sessions will be during the day for those who couldn't make our most recent evening course: https://training.pdasociety.org.uk/product/pda-for-parents-and-carers-march-16th-23rd/

This is a safe space to learn about parenting a PDAer and to network with other parents in the chat. You don't have to participate or have your screens on, and you'll get sent a recording after the event.
