✨ How does the use of declarative language support autonomy for PDA individuals? ✨ When it comes to supporting children with a PDA (Pathological Demand Avoidance) profile, many parents and professionals seek strategies that uphold autonomy and foster trust. However, not all approaches are as they seem. 🔑 Key Insight: Declarative language is often misunderstood.

When we shift from telling or prompting our PDA children to sharing our own experiences (“Hold that thought, I’m off for a two-second loo break before I explode!”), we move from control to connection. We model regulation, autonomy, and safety. We show that everyone has needs and that it’s okay to meet them without losing relationship. If you’d like to go deeper into how this looks and sounds in practice, our Masterclass 'Understanding and Using Declarative Language with PDA Children' is currentl

1. Allow yourself to dislike playing with a PDA child. It often feels like being criticized or corrected for your every move, so it is normal to not like it. And, if you want, you can do it anyways. 2. To manage your own discomfort, set a timer (I use my fitbit) for 10 minutes and set a goal to simply stay present. You can pick a sensory anchor to help you - the freckles on their face, their eyelashes, your own breath, or sunlight streaming through the window. 3. Get on the floor. Allow them to
