Why Every Brain Deserves to Belong | Lake Bell + Jessica McCabe | A Kids Co.
What does it really mean to raise kids who see every brain as worthy of belonging? In this episode, Elise Hu talks with actress, director, and author Lake Bell about her daughter’s journey with epilepsy and how that shaped her own understanding of neurodiversity. Later, ADHD advocate and creator of How to ADHD Jessica McCabe shares practical ways parents can explain neurodivergence, involve kids in their own care, and shift the conversation from “fixing” to thriving.
From ADHD to epilepsy to dyslexia, we explore how to talk about brain differences in ways that build empathy and confidence at home.
Key Takeaways:
Validate your child’s experience, even when others may dismiss it
Talk openly about your own brain differences to reduce shame
Involve kids in decisions about their own treatment and support
Normalize differences as part of the human condition, not something to “fix”
