Parenting an autistic or ADHD child in India can be lonely, confusing, and overwhelming. Between managing meltdowns and explaining your child to others, it’s easy to lose your calm — but that calm is your child’s greatest need.
Autism and ADHD are not behavioral issues — they are neurodevelopmental differences. When parents regulate their emotions, children learn self-regulation through co-regulation.
As Reena Chopra, Psychologist and founder of Saar Holistic Wellness, explains: “A calm parent is the most effective therapy a child can have.”
Rajni Singh, a Parenting Coach and autism mom, reminds us that early signs often go unnoticed.
“Don’t wait for big meltdowns,” she says, “look for small cues — speech delays, lack of pretend play, or disinterest in others.”
🔸 Practical Tips
- Create a calm-down corner (soft lighting, sensory toys).
- Avoid comparing your child’s milestones.
- Use visual routines instead of verbal reminders.
- Seek professional guidance, not social judgment.
- Celebrate micro-progress — it rewires hope.
Calmness is not weakness — it’s emotional leadership. Your child mirrors your nervous system. When you breathe deeply, you gift them peace.
At Saar Holistic Wellness, we believe calm parenting begins with self-awareness and guided support.
