Ask Me Anything on Behavior with Lisa Kays

Описание: Kids can smell your attention shift from three rooms away.

In this episode of Complicated Kids, I sit down with therapist and orchid parent, Lisa Kays, to unpack why kids seem to appear out of nowhere the second you pick up a book, turn on a podcast, or try to think your own thoughts. We talk about the “energetic bubble” we hold as parents, why neurodivergent kids are especially tuned in to our presence, and how they use behavior and interruption to pull us back when they feel us drift.

Lisa and I also dig into the pressure on moms to be endlessly present, why you actually cannot fake calm, and what happens when your words say “everything is fine” but your nervous system is screaming. We look at how honesty about your limits, your crankiness, and your need for space can make your home feel safer and more predictable for everyone.

This conversation is a permission slip to stop aiming for Stepford-level parenting and start practicing something better: authentic connection, clear boundaries, and enough room for both you and your child to be human.
