Raising Neurodivergent Kids--What You Need to Know

Verywell Mind

"Neurodivergence is an umbrella term for anyone whose brain functions, processes, behaves, and learns differently from what is generally considered “typical.”  Different neurotypes offer different strengths, and  neurodiversity is essential for thriving communities."

The Verywell Mind article "What to Know About Raising Neurodivergent Kids" serves as a comprehensive guide for parents and guardians seeking to understand and support their neurodivergent children. It explains the concept of neurodivergence—highlighting that neurodivergent brains function differently rather than deficiently—and emphasizes the importance of embracing these differences with compassion and understanding. The article offers practical insights on how parents can help their children thrive by recognizing their unique strengths and challenges, fostering emotional well-being, and creating a nurturing environment tailored to their needs. This resource is a valuable addition to any online library, providing clear, accessible information and empowering caregivers with knowledge and strategies to better support their neurodivergent children’s development and happiness.
