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. 00:00 Introduction to Curiosity Questions00:16 What Are Curiosity Questions?01:00 Using Curiosity Questions Effectively02:22 Examples of Curiosity Questions02:43 Benefits for Neurodivergent Kids03:36 Challenge and Support04:16 Conclusion and Next Steps Register for the Parenting Power Hour: www.everybrainisdifferent.com Connect with Samantha Foote!Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/everybrainisdifferentYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@everybrainisdifferent
