在陪伴孩子成長的路上，我們常不自覺地尋找「標準答案」——希望孩子順利適應體制、希望教養能有明確的指南。但當孩子的特質與體制產生碰撞，或是當我們發現現有的教育無法滿足孩子的靈魂時，身為家長，我們能有多大的勇氣走出另一條路？ 今天邀請到的來賓，是一位很讓人敬佩的女性——陳音秀。她有多重的身分： 她是亞斯伯格症孩子的媽媽、也是一位創業家，她打造了一間餐酒館「慢慢Bistro」，希望為亞斯家庭提供一個能彼此理解、安心放鬆聚會的避風港；她還是「自主學習促進會」的理事長、實驗教育審議委員，並在我們基金會創辦的蒙特梭利中學 Y2MAC 擔任中文老師，前陣子剛從荷蘭參加完耶拿教育的教師培訓回來。 音秀的角色看似非常多元，但細看就會發現，她所有的努力都是圍繞著「看見每一個孩子的獨特性」。今天想與音秀一起聊，她如何從陪伴特殊兒的挑戰出發，到自己創業、並成為實驗教育者的旅程。 Hosted by Cynthia 本集重點： ☑︎ 亞斯伯格孩子的父母會遇到哪些挑戰？ ☑︎ 家長如何釐清期待並找到適合孩子的教育？ ☑︎ 是什麼心態或勇氣，讓音秀能一次次跨出既有框架，去探索未知的領域？

What do we do when our kids seem stuck on repeat—like when they keep asking us the same question over and over or making the same demand? Even on our best days, their persistence can quickly wear us down. We respond once calmly, twice firmly, and by the third time all bets are off. We've lost our patience. Janet responds to a mom whose four-year-old repeats the same list of requests every morning. She explores why kids get stuck in these patterns and how getting everyone unstuck is simpler than we
