  • 316: Finding Your Kid’s Just Right Balance, with Chris Taylor, LCSW-C

    316: Finding Your Kid’s Just Right Balance, with Chris Taylor, LCSW-C
    Jun 12 2025
    Ever wonder how to push your child just enough without pushing them over the edge?

    In this episode of Beautifully Complex, I sit down with therapist Chris Taylor, LCSW-C, to unpack what it really means to find your child’s “Just Right Balance.” Unlike the more familiar “just right challenge,” this concept is about balancing emotional safety with growth — how to gently nudge our neurodivergent kids out of their comfort zones without creating shutdown or dysregulation.

    Chris and I talk about how to know when to step in and when to step back, why validation and predictability are game-changers for emotionally intense kids, and how your own regulation as a parent sets the tone for everything else. Plus, we dig into why fulfillment — not just short-term happiness — should be the goal when helping kids navigate hard things.

    If you’ve ever felt stuck between protecting your child and encouraging independence, this episode is full of insights (and real talk) to help you find that elusive middle ground.

    Listen now to learn how to help your child grow in confidence and resilience — without losing trust or connection.

  • 315: Integrating Creativity and Play into Learning, with Kelsey Cook

    315: Integrating Creativity and Play into Learning, with Kelsey Cook
    Jun 5 2025
    What if a pom pom, a paper tube, and ten minutes a day could transform your child’s learning?

    In this joy-filled episode, I sit down with Kelsey Cook, mom of four, former teacher, and founder of Learning with Kelsey, to unpack the science and soul behind play-based learning. Together, we explore how creativity and play aren't just fun — they're vital tools for connection, emotional regulation, and skill development in neurodivergent kids.

    From sensory-friendly adaptations to parent-child rituals that build predictability, you'll walk away with practical strategies to foster emotional intelligence, meet your child’s sensory needs, and bring more joy to learning (without a single worksheet in sight).

    If you’ve ever struggled to get your child engaged in learning or wondered how to balance structure with flexibility, this episode will leave you inspired and equipped.

    🎧 Press play and discover how a little intentional play can lead to big breakthroughs.
