In this episode, I dive deep into the signs and symptoms of ADHD and how parents can recognize when their child might need an assessment. Here are some key questions I address:
What is ADHD and how does it manifest in children? I explore the two primary types of ADHD—Inattentive and Hyperactive/Impulsive—and explain how these behaviours might look both at home and in school. From struggling to maintain focus to constant restlessness, these symptoms can help you identify potential concerns early.
When should parents consider getting their child assessed? If your child is facing challenges with daily functioning, such as difficulty completing tasks, maintaining focus, or controlling impulsive behaviours, it may be time to seek professional guidance. I also discuss how emotional challenges, like frustration or low self-esteem, can be signs that ADHD is affecting your child.
What does the ADHD assessment process involve? The assessment typically includes observing the child’s behaviour, gathering input from parents and teachers, and possibly conducting interviews. I explain how professionals evaluate behaviour to determine whether a diagnosis is appropriate and how this step can lead to more tailored support for your child.
Tune in to learn more about how ADHD presents, when to seek help, and what steps you can take to support your child if you suspect ADHD. This episode will help you gain confidence in understanding your child’s needs and taking positive steps forward.

In this episode, I explore a powerful shift in parenting mindset: Are you focusing on "The Gap" or "The Gain" in your child's development? How can changing your perspective from what your child hasn't yet achieved to celebrating the progress they've made transform your parenting experience? I dive into these questions and more, drawing insights from the book The Gap and The Gain by Dan Sullivan and Dr. Benjamin Hardy.
How can this mindset shift create a more positive and calm environment for both you and your child? What impact does focusing on gains have on your child's confidence and motivation to continue growing? I discuss the benefits of this approach and why recognising your child's achievements, no matter how small, can lead to a more fulfilling parenting journey.
Have you found yourself overwhelmed by the endless goals you set for your child? Are you curious about how to reduce stress and find more joy in the parenting process? This episode provides practical advice and real-life examples of how to implement the "Gain" mindset in your everyday parenting. Join me as I reflect on the importance of celebrating progress and fostering a supportive environment for our children's growth.

For today’s episode of my podcast, this is part 2 of my discussion with Tammy. We are discussing parenting with psychology. How can understanding your child’s brain development improve your approach to parenting? What role does timing play in effective discipline? These questions are at the heart of the latest discussion on compassionate parenting, where the focus is on how parents can better navigate the challenges of raising children by gaining insights into the psychological aspects of child development.
Why is it unrealistic to expect young children to act rationally during moments of intense emotion? The discussion delves into the science behind the developing brain, particularly the prefrontal cortex, which governs critical thinking and emotional regulation. Understanding that this part of the brain is not fully developed in young children helps parents manage expectations and respond more effectively during stressful situations.
What are the long-term benefits of handling a child’s emotional outbursts with patience and compassion? By focusing on safety and love first, and teaching rather than punishing, parents can foster resilience, emotional regulation, and problem-solving skills in their children. How can these principles be applied in everyday parenting? The discussion provides practical advice for creating a nurturing environment that supports the healthy emotional and psychological development of children. These will be fully explained in the episode, so let’s dive in.

In today’s episode, we have as our guest: Tammy Schamuhn
Tammy And I will be discussing parenting and therapy. Some of the answers you will find are of these questions: How do therapists identify the most appropriate methods for helping children? What makes certain therapies more suitable for kids than others? When dealing with trauma and anxiety, is it possible that traditional talk therapy might fall short for younger clients? The nuances of a child's brain development suggest that therapies aligning with their developmental stage—such as play therapy or animal-assisted therapy—are more effective. But how can parents discern between methods that genuinely cater to a child’s needs and those that might not be as beneficial?
What role does safety and love play in a child's mental health and development? Is it enough for children to feel safe, or do they need more? When considering a child’s well-being, how critical is the relationship between feeling loved and feeling secure? These questions highlight the delicate balance therapists must maintain when working with young clients, emphasising the importance of addressing both physical safety and emotional security.
Finally, how do various therapies engage with the developing brain? What are the core principles guiding effective treatment for children, especially those who are neurodivergent or have experienced trauma? Understanding the brain's structure and development is key to tailoring interventions that resonate with a child's natural learning and healing processes. But can these principles be applied universally, or do they need to be adapted for each unique child?
