August 5, 2025·44 min·2 clips

Time out. You've got a problem and I've got a problem. We both have needs. What are we going to do?

In this final coaching session with Kevin and Scott, parents of two neurodivergent boys (3-year-old Gavin and 4-year-old Arthur), therapist Leslie Cohen-Rubury teaches practical DBT-based mindfulness and communication skills for everyday parenting challenges. Through live role-play and real examples, they explore collaborative problem-solving when parent and child needs conflict, the power of dropping rigid 'shoulds' around homework, and strategies for working with an autistic child's strong need to complete narratives.
