    Episode 4: Kids & ADHD// Practical Strategies for Parents with Mike McLeod

    Alison and Julie chat with Mike McLeod from GrowNowADHD. We discuss the complexities of parenting children with ADHD, emphasizing the importance of understanding executive functioning, the impact of social media, and the need for appropriate consequences rather than punishments. Mike introduces the concept of a 'brain coach' to help children self-regulate and highlights the outdated DSM criteria for ADHD diagnosis. The discussion also covers the effects of screen time on ADHD behaviours and the phenomenon of Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA) as a social media trend. Mike offers practical advice for parents to navigate these challenges and foster their children's development. Mike's new books are titled The Executive Function Playbook and Workbook and can be found on his website. Dr. Yeung's appearance on Mike's podcast, The ADHD Parenting Podcast, can be found here on Spotify or Apple Podcasts.

    Episode 3: A Brief Overview of Perimenopause//Should Social Media be Banned for Kids?

    Alison and Julie sit down to give listeners a brief overview of perimenopause- definitions, diagnosis, and treatment. We hope to bring some clarity and simplicity to a quickly changing field of medicine. In future episodes we will dive deeper into some of the subject matter we briefly discuss today! Then we flip to asking the question- will social media age bans help to protect our kids? What do these bans really entail, and where may they fall short? We hope to draw some attention to this question in Canada specifically, where our government has been mostly silent on the topic. Update: Jan 21st article from Globe & Mail here titled, "Federal officials draft plans to ban social media for children under 14" If you enjoy our content, please help support us by following our podcast and giving us a review!
