This week, we're shining the spotlight on ADHD.
Have you ever wondered why your child can't sit still? ADHD might be the reason! In this episode, I demystify this complex condition. I'll be defining ADHD, discussing how it differs from standard behaviour, and examining the three primary symptoms: hyperactivity, difficulty maintaining attention, and impulsivity.

Together, we'll unravel the complex genetic and environmental factors potentially triggering the condition and delve into the challenges and intricacies of diagnosing ADHD.

As a child psychiatrist, I've seen my fair share of worries and fears, but when my children began to show signs of anxiety, it hit home in an unexpected way.
In this episode, I uncover the often-missed signals of anxiety in children under five and share how these young minds might express their concerns. Together, we'll explore the tightrope between genetics and upbringing in shaping a child's emotional wellbeing and share stories highlighting the surprising ways our fears can be passed down. Understanding the interplay between a child's innate temperament and surroundings can unlock ways to support their growth better.

Have you ever found yourself at a loss when your little one's emotions run high or noticed behaviours that make you wonder if they're just quirky or if there's something more?
In this episode, I journey through the terrain of early childhood development, with a particular lens on autism in children under five. I unearth the complexities of young minds, uncovering what autism might look like in our smallest humans and why understanding behaviour is so critical. This is a conversation about the silent language of tantrums, the hidden messages in play, and the profound influence of nurturing spaces in shaping our children.

Has your child ever experienced sudden urges to sneeze or blink and found resisting nearly impossible? In this episode, I explore the world of tics in children, drawing parallels between these irresistible urges and the premonitory sensations that children with tics experience.
I break down the involuntary nature of tics and their classification into four categories: simple, complex, motor, and vocal. I also discuss the critical nuances of tic suppression and the need for 'purge' periods.
Together, we inspect the intricate dance of diagnosing and treating these conditions, emphasising the importance of addressing co-occurring disorders like ADHD, which might hold the key to mitigating tic symptoms.

Have you ever felt the weight of your child's gaze on you as they absorb your words and the energy behind them?
In this episode, I explore the profound impact parental mental health has on our little ones. From the silent lessons we teach them in the womb to the emotional dance of a public tantrum, revealing that our emotional states are the building blocks for our children's emotional intelligence.
Dealing with a child's meltdown can feel like navigating a minefield, but what if the key to disarming the chaos lay in your response? I discuss the transformative power of emotional contagion, uncovering how your calm can become their calm, your resilience their guide. With generational trauma casting long shadows, I also examine the emotional legacies we inherit and how breaking free from them begins with recognising the sadness, happiness, and fear that shape our reactions.

Drawing from her personal experience of living with an acquired brain injury, Zoe Roscoe, a resilient cognitive and behavioural psychotherapist, uncovers the deep-seated societal stigmas and struggles that disabled individuals face. For years, Zoe has grappled with proving her disability to society and has experienced firsthand the significant impact this has on mental health. We delve into the world of disabilities and discuss the often misunderstood complexities surrounding accessibility, bringing to the forefront how these issues shape the everyday lives of individuals with both physical and cognitive disabilities.
Navigating disability and relationships is a challenge that Zoe has faced, and she courageously shares her journey with us. We peel back the layers on the struggles of finding a community of young disabled individuals, expressing vulnerability in explaining disability, and the heartache of being dismissed. Zoe provides a raw look into the impact that dependency on family and friends for care has had on her relationships and reflects on the decade since her diagnosis.
Zoe shares the role responsibility plays in supporting neurodiverse individuals and their families. The fear and intimidation that many face when seeking help is a topic that needs urgent attention, and Zoe provides invaluable insights into this matter. She emphasises the importance of promoting acceptance and open communication and reminds us of our obligation to make reasonable adjustments for neurodiverse individuals.

Have you ever seen a child, frozen by fear, unable to speak or even move?
In this episode, we explore the intricate world of child and youth anxiety. Together, we'll pull back the curtains on anxiety's many masks, from generalised worry to selective mutism, phobias and panic disorders. We’ll dive into the unique ways children and young people perceive and express their anxiety - sometimes, not with words, but with behaviours like school refusal or physical ailments.
We'll consider the delicate balance of normal and maladaptive anxiety, how children's experiences can shift this balance and the impact of their developmental age and environment on their anxiety.
