This was an intense discussion that I jokingly referred to afterwards as an “interrogation” by the amazing hosts of the Bare Naked Moms Podcast, Alanna Leavell and Milano Buckley. These are two bright, insightful Moms asking tough questions and wrestling with their own issues. I think you will find it so helpful I asked if we could share this directly with our audience. You can find the Bare Naked Moms Podcast on every podcasting platform. https://www.instagram.com/barenakedmoms/

This is what children with PDA often feel: “I already know I am struggling. I don’t want to hear that another person is 100% focused on MY anxiety. I already think I am weak for being afraid when other people aren’t…and now my mom and dad are just reinforcing how weak and scared I am.” I want to share unique strategies to help your PDA kids without the shame, pressure, or accommodations.
