ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Got a toddler or preschooler with spunk? Then you might be one of many who has spent an evening googling "does my 3 year old have ADHD?" or watched "calm" kids at a birthday party or playdate, wondering if your wild child needs a serious diagnosis. Fear not my friends, Dr. Katie Davis, a professor of child psychology, clinical neuropsychologist, and author of the forthcoming book "Actually, You're Fine: A Compassionate, Practical Guide To Maximizing Your Child's Potential In The Age Of Anxiety" is here to help.
Dr. Davis walks us through all of it - what actually IS ADHD (versus normal, age appropriate behavior), what age we can really identify a child who has it, best practices in navigating the process of diagnosis, the 411 on medication, and most of all - knowing that there is a difference between a child with a disorder and a child with a certain kind of temperament!
Whether your child struggles with ADHD or not, this episode will give you great food for thought and a firm reminder from an expert - your kids are a-okay.
