🎙️PDA Parenting - Raising a Child Who Says ‘NO’ to Everything

🎙️PDA Parenting - Raising a Child Who Says ‘NO’ to Everything

In this episode of The NeuroSpicy MomPod, we’re talking about something that doesn’t get nearly enough airtime: Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA). If every simple ask turns into a meltdown or negotiation, you are not alone.

💥 I break down:
– What PDA actually is (hint: it’s not defiance)
– How it shows up in everyday life
– Why rewards, routines, and even gentle scripts can backfire
– What’s actually helped in our home — including co-regulation, rituals, and woo

I’m sharing stories from parenting my own PDA kid, how we’ve navigated meltdowns and misdiagnoses, and how I’ve learned to meet him where he is — even when I’m barely hanging on.

💖 You're not doing it wrong. You’re just parenting a nervous system that needs something different.
