PDA Masterclass: Refusal as a Nervous System Response
What looks like refusal, rage, or shutdown is often the nervous system’s way of saying “I don’t feel safe.” This online masterclass will help you understand why your neurodivergent child avoids everyday demands—and what you can do when connection, not control, becomes the focus.
Enrol Your Place
Less Conflict, More Connection
When you understand the why behind your child’s refusal, everything changes. Instead of constant battles, you’ll start responding in ways that actually calm the situation—building trust, safety, and emotional closeness.
Feel Empowered, Not Defeated
Knowing the brain-body science behind PDA helps you stop blaming yourself—or your child. You’ll walk away with clarity, tools, and confidence to navigate daily challenges with less overwhelm.
Real Supports That Work for Neurodivergent Brains
Traditional parenting approaches often backfire with PDA. This masterclass gives you evidence-based alternatives that actually support your child’s nervous system—reducing meltdowns, refusals, and shutdowns over time.
