We've also tried all the regular methods with years of therapists and experts who are highly regarded.
I can see how this approach of letting go of restrictions might work for some children especially those who are more mature and close to realizing themselves that this is the issue and then can be open to learning how to regulate their own behavior. I am very grateful to PP with 16 year old for taking the time to write this. I think there are at least 2-3 of us in this nightmare right now.

+2 Low demand parenting was a game changer for child. It gave them a sense of control in a world that felt chaotic.

Low demand is actually very hard on the parent. It’s a 24/7 commitment and means putting another’s needs before your own for a while. It feels “wrong” or “frustrating” vs. traditional parenting.

It works for some profiles. For my very smart AudHD kid, it took their “fight” instinct down a few notches. Slowly they learn to self-regulate…
