Every child is uniquely created by God, but sometimes differences in how kids think, learn, and interact with the world can leave parents wondering how to best support them. Today we spoke with author, Bible teacher, and mom of three adult children, Kristi Anyabwile, to explore the topic of neurodiversity in kids.
Every child is uniquely created by God, but sometimes differences in how kids think, learn, and interact with the world can leave parents wondering how to best support them.
In this episode of Carpool Conversations, Amy and Sara sit down with author, Bible teacher, and mom of three adult children, Kristie Anyabwile, to explore the topic of neurodiversity in kids.
Drawing from her own experience receiving an ADHD diagnosis as an adult, Kristi helps us understand what neurodiversity is, addresses common misconceptions about neurodivergency, and shares encouragement for families navigating a recent diagnosis. She also discusses her new children's book, Busy Bodies, Busy Brains: Learning to Love How God Made You, and a message for kids and parents: that God intentionally created each of us with purpose, value, and unique gifts.
Whether you're parenting a neurodivergent child, teaching kids, or simply hoping to better understand those around you, this conversation offers practical wisdom, faith-filled encouragement, and the reminder that every child is fearfully and wonderfully made.
