Welcome to Q&A - Bring Us Your Questions! 💭
This is your space to ask questions, bring us the situations you’re navigating at home, and get support applying what you’re learning in Natural Geniuses to real life. No question is too small, and you never need to worry about asking the “wrong” question. Chances are, another parent is wondering the exact same thing! Here’s how to get the most out of this space: 1. Give us some context. Tell us your child’s age, what’s happening before, during, and after the behavior or situation, what you’ve already tried, and anything else you think might be relevant. The more context you share, the better we can understand the full picture. 2. Tell us what you’re struggling with. Is there a behavior you don’t understand? A routine that consistently turns into a battle? Something from class you’re not sure how to apply? Bring it here! 3. Ask one main question per post whenever possible so we can keep the conversations focused and make the answers easier for other parents to find later. 4. Search before posting. Someone may have already asked a similar question, and you might find an incredibly helpful conversation waiting for you. 5. Come with curiosity, not judgment. This is a space for learning, experimenting, asking questions, and looking beneath the surface of behavior to better understand what our children may be communicating. Bring us the messy, confusing, real-life moments. Dodi and I want to help you take what you’re learning in class and figure out what it can look like in your own family. Drop your first question below! 👇

@Corinna Hernandez The key here is to explicitly state the boundary/expectation immediately before entering the playground. You will have repeat this and remind him throughout the visit until he understands and it. Be sure to praise him when follows the boundary. You will have to really be watching closely to catch him doing the correct behavior. And also, pay attention to any of those "whispers" or pre cursor behaviors before he picks something up off the ground.

@Denise Hampshire that sounds really frustrating. Thank you for sharing more details about the behaviors. I hope I get to learn more about your daughter and these situations. I would also recommend the PRIMING strategy I outlined in my response to Corinna above. In the instance of going to the store, for example... Once she communicates "go to store" prime her by saying "I see you want to go to the store, we can do that! In order to go to the store, we are going to have to put pants on, a shirt and shoes. Let's start by putting your pants on. Which pants do you want to wear today, the blue ones or the purple ones?" I look forward to learning more and please note I will be available for 1:1 and group coaching where we can work on these situations live, in the moment after our foundational course is complete.
Welcome to Natural Geniuses! 🌟
We’re so happy you’re here! Natural Geniuses is about learning to see our children differently, understand the “why” behind behavior, build deeper connection, and discover compassionate strategies that actually work to build new skills and increase independence for our children and families. And one of the best parts? You don’t have to do this alone. Let’s get to know each other! Introduce yourself below and tell us: 👋 Your name and where you’re from 🧩 A little about your child and their age 💭 What brought you to Natural Geniuses 🌱 Something that currently feels challenging in your day-to-day life that you're hoping Natural Geniuses can help with ✨ One thing you hope to learn, change, or experience during this course Share as much or as little as you feel comfortable sharing. Then take a few minutes to read through some of the other introductions and say hello! You may find another parent navigating the exact same challenges, someone whose child reminds you of yours, or even another family who lives nearby. This community is meant to be a place where we can learn together, ask questions without judgment, celebrate progress, share what’s working, and support one another along the way. There is so much wisdom in this room already, and we can’t wait to see the connections that grow here. 🌟 Introduce yourself below! 👇

@Tyler Codd thank you for being here and being present to your sonʻs needs. I love how you recognize both of their strengths and how you know that Duke doesn't have ill intent with aggressive behavior, rather he needs our help and understanding. Amazing!

@Denise Hampshire Thank you for being vulnerable and real. Please feel free to ask specific questions along the way. Toward the end of this course we will also offer the opportunity for 1:1 and group coaching; which is how we see the most progress.
