In this episode I speak with a mom who knows the PDA lens is the right approach for her 9-year-old adopted son, but is having difficulty getting her husband and parents on board.

We also discussed:

1. Understanding her adopted son through the PDA Lens, rather than a disorgnanized attachment lens
2. Framing with her husband trying lowered demands and more autonomy as an experiment so that the stakes don't feel so high
3. Examples of non-violent communication requests with the grandparents, so that they don't correct the child at the dinner table
4. Dropping the desire to "convince" or "explain" Pathological Demand Avoidance to people in her life

I hope it is helpful to you :)
