Beyond Low Demand Parenting for PDA*

*Pathological Demand Avoidance, Pervasive Drive for Autonomy (there are many feelings about the name, and I hope to use verbiage that works for you)

A Class and Support Group for Parents who are looking for something Beyond Low Demand

Because lowering demands helps, but there is so much more to living a full life.

In this 4 week group, you will learn how to understand the Relational Neuroscience of demand avoidance and resilience, how to understand your own and your family’s relationship with demands, develop a map of each person’s individual makeup, and what to DO to build demand tolerance and increase life enjoyment and ease for every member of your family.

I know you:

work so hard and do your best!

put in so much work to understand and advocate.

need more support.

lack relevant experience or education.

wish for the Village that all families need.

And….

I know that a lot of the “help” is:

disappointing

NOT actually helpful

blaming

shaming

letting you down

misunderstanding

AND the answers given simply do NOT work or even make things worse!

And the therapies, the advice, the strategies often FEEL BAD.

To YOU, Your CHILD, Your FAMILY.

But it should not be this way, and it doesn’t need to be this way anymore. We all deserve more.

There is help and support here for you.

But Wait… Who are you? And What Exactly Is This?

I’m Mishka Willis, Certified Parent Coach, and Attachment Specialist. Also a PDAer with PDAer kids.

I have lived experience with living as a neurodivergent person in a neurotypical world. I offer:

  • Evidence backed information and education so you can cut to the chase and stop drowning in content and books that either don’t apply, aren’t current, or are written for families with neurotypical kids

  • Support with the specific ways to set up your home and your life to make parenting simpler so you can enjoy family time and reduce wasted money, wasted time, and can prioritize what matters most.

  • Education about Interpersonal Neurobiology, Relational Neuroscience, Polyvagal Theory and Attachment Science. These are the absolute most important information to change and understand families like yours and mine.

  • All delivered by a Mom just like you, who had been there and done it. And who has spent her whole life dedicated to child development, mental well being, and raising kids with secure attachment and confidence.
