In this episode, Samantha talks about the challenges and benefits of setting boundaries and following through in parenting.
She explains that boundaries should clearly define what actions parents will take if certain behaviors occur, instead of trying to control the child's behavior. Consistent follow-through on these boundaries helps reduce power struggles and fosters a predictable environment, which is especially beneficial for neurodivergent children.
Samantha emphasizes the importance of proactive decision-making in managing parental reactions and maintaining emotional balance in the parent-child relationship. By planning responses ahead of time, parents can reduce stress and ensure consistent, constructive interactions with their children.
Samantha also highlights that following through on boundaries with love and kindness encourages better compliance and understanding from children, promoting healthier behavior and emotional regulation.
Parents are encouraged to integrate these strategies into their daily practices and to seek additional support through the Parenting Power Hour, a free monthly event offering further guidance.

In this episode Samantha and Lauren tackles a topic many parents struggle with—how (and why) to talk to your child’s sports coach about their neurodivergent needs. Samantha shares her own story of navigating two very different coaching experiences for her son and offers insight into how communication can help avoid misunderstandings, emotional meltdowns, and unnecessary shame on the field. Whether your child has ADHD, autism, or PDA, Samantha and Lauren explain why advocating for your child isn’t being “needy”—it’s setting everyone up for success.
You’ll get practical tips for initiating these conversations through both letters and in-person chats, as well as reassurance that you’re not alone in this. Samantha and Lauren break down common fears like singling out your child or being seen as “that parent,” and reframe the conversation around collaboration and clear expectations. Advice on what to do if a coach is unwilling to accommodate and how to know when it’s time to walk away is also given. This is your reminder that sports should be fun—and if they’re not, there are always other ways for your child to thrive.

In this episode of the 'Every Brain is Different' podcast, Samantha Foote introduces listeners to the concept of curiosity questions as a positive discipline tool.
She explains how curiosity questions encourage children, particularly neurodivergent kids, to think critically, solve problems, and feel empowered rather than simply complying with direct instructions.
Samantha provides practical examples such as asking, 'What do we need to do before we go outside?' instead of giving direct orders. This approach helps children gain independence by fostering executive functioning skills and reducing power struggles.
She advises parents to use open-ended questions, maintain a neutral tone, and practice during low-stress moments to effectively implement this technique.
Samantha also highlights the benefits like enhancing self-confidence and connecting actions to consequences without shame or punishment.
