For parents with learning and thinking differences, like ADHD and dyslexia, seeing your child struggle in familiar ways can bring up old stressors and traumas. The goal of this expertled series is to help parents understand and navigate their own feelings and reactions, while supporting a child who learns and thinks differently.

In Episode 2, host and psychologist Dr. Monica Johnson is diving into situations that trigger upsetting feelings and how to work through them. Can you think of any schoolrelated situations where you experienced fight, flight/avoid, or freeze responses? Feel free to share your story in the comments.
