About this listen

Eliza Fricker gets it. Describing her perfectly imperfect experience of raising a PDA child, with societal judgements and family pressures, she knows how easy it is to feel overwhelmed, resentful and alone. The Family Experience of PDA explains these challenging situations and emotions in a way that words simply cannot, bringing some much-needed levity back into PDA parenting. Humorous anecdotes with a compassionate tone remind parents that they are not alone, and they're doing a great job. If children are safe, happy, and you leave the house on time, who cares about some smelly socks?

A light-hearted and digestible guide to being a PDA parent covering everything from tolerance levels, relationships and meltdowns to collaboration, flexibility, and self care to dip in and out as your schedule allows to help get to grips with this complex condition. This book is essential for any parent with a PDA child, to help better understand your child, build support systems and carve out some essential self-care time guilt-free.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

My wife told me to listen to this to help understand my daughter, Nearly everything that you said was exactly how my daughter is, and I found listening to it very emotional. Did make me feel better that I’m not alone on how I feel. I work full time and we foster my wife has to stay at home for this so it’s probably even harder on her. This short listen which made it easier as my concentration span isn’t great. This is defo worth listen. Even if it just let you know your feeling are ok too.

To hear someone tell our story & experiences gives hope that some day, eventually, the paediatricians/experts/ professionals that we have to deal with will finally listen to what parents & children are experiencing and BELIEVE what we are saying & not dismiss our concerns, worries & fears for how our children are going to survive in the school system & offer the right support when it is so desperately needed. Thank you for your story.
