15. Discipline and Down Syndrome with Dr. David Stein

This week on The Lucky Few Podcast, we’re talking about all things discipline and behavior with Dr. David Stein, former Co-Director of the Down Syndrome Program at Boston Children’s Hospital. Currently, Dr. Stein is a Pediatric Psychologist & Director at New England Neurodevelopment, LLC. His “respond but don’t react” approach to parenting children with Down Syndrome guides his new book: Supporting Positive Behavior in Children and Teens with Down Syndrome.

As it turns out, the secret to discipline isn’t found in visual schedules and behavior charts, it’s in a parent’s emotional response to their child’s actions. Join us this week to learn more about the brain development of children with Down Syndrome, the best approach to disciplining children with Down Syndrome, and the importance of self-care for parents of children with Down Syndrome.

To any parent struggling with their child’s behavior management: you are not alone. Join us this week for practical support, real encouragement, and honest community.
