    Diagnosis helped me understand my child better

    When a Diagnosis Changes Understanding, Not Your ChildWhat if the behaviour you’ve been worried about isn’t laziness, defiance, rudeness or a child simply being “difficult”? What if there’s something more going on underneath? In this episode of Let’s Reconnect, psychologist Breanna Jayne Sada shares the stories of four families navigating diagnosis with their children and teenagers, including autism spectrum disorder (ASD), ADHD, developmental delay and depression. Each family’s journey is different. One noticed developmental differences in their toddler. Another watched their daughter struggle socially when she entered high school. One initially mistook their teenager’s depression for laziness, while another resisted an ADHD assessment for years because they feared their son being “labelled”. Yet a common theme runs through all four stories: the diagnosis didn’t change their child. It changed their understanding of their child. Breanna explores why parents can understandably feel frightened or hesitant about assessment and diagnosis, including concerns about labels, medication, stigma, blame and what a diagnosis might mean for their child’s future. She also discusses the relief and grief that can exist alongside one another when families finally receive answers. In this episode:Why parents often sense something is going on before they have a name for itAutism and developmental differences in young childrenWhy autism and ADHD may become more noticeable when children reach high schoolHow depression in teenagers can be mistaken for laziness or lack of motivationHow ADHD symptoms can be misinterpreted as defiance or “naughty” behaviourWhy anxiety can sometimes look like avoidanceThe fear that a diagnosis will “label” your childWhy being treated differently isn't necessarily a negativeParental guilt, grief and relief following a diagnosisWhy assessment does not automatically mean medicationHow diagnosis can help families access therapy, school adjustments and other supportsThe importance of early interventionHow going without appropriate support can affect a young person’s self-esteem and self-conceptWhy parents and the wider family may need support tooMoving from “What’s wrong with my child?” to “What’s happening for my child?”A diagnosis is not the end of a child’s story. For many families, it can be the beginning of greater understanding, compassion and access to the support their child needs to thrive. If you have a quiet feeling that your child is struggling or developing differently, you don’t have to work out the answer yourself. Speaking with your GP, paediatrician, psychologist or another appropriately qualified health professional can be a helpful place to begin.

In this episode of Let's Reconnect, registered psychologist Breanna Jayne Sada discusses how parents can use celebrity conversations to promote healthy body image, critical thinking and open communication, while following Australia's Mindframe guidelines for discussing eating disorders safely.

    Listener Q&A, Screen Time Guilt, Introducing a new partner to the kids & low cost MH care

    When is the right time to introduce a new partner after separation? Is watching TV really as harmful as phones and social media? And what do you do if your teenager needs mental health support but private psychology feels out of reach? In this listener Q&A episode, registered psychologist Breanna Jayne Sada answers three common parenting questions with practical, evidence-based advice designed to help parents make confident decisions while keeping children's wellbeing at the centre. Breanna discusses why there is no "magic timeline" for introducing a new partner after divorce, the importance of prioritising stability and secure attachment, and how parents can support children who may still be grieving family separation. She also explores one of the biggest parenting dilemmas today: screen time guilt. Is television really the same as smartphones, YouTube and TikTok? Learn why not all screen time carries the same risks and how to make balanced decisions without striving for perfection. Finally, Breanna explains the affordable mental health options available for Australian families, including Mental Health Care Plans, Headspace, school wellbeing services, Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs), telehealth and public mental health services. In this episode we discuss:When to introduce a new partner after separation or divorceHelping children adjust to blended familiesWhy stability matters after family breakdownManaging children's grief following separationIs TV as harmful as phones and social media?Healthy screen time habits for primary school childrenReducing parental guilt around screen useAffordable psychology options for teenagersMental Health Care Plans explainedHeadspace, school counselling and EAP servicesSupporting a teenager who is ready to seek helpResources mentionedHeadspace AustraliaKids HelplineLifeline AustraliaMedicare Mental Health Care PlansConnectIf you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe, leave a review and share it with another parent or professional supporting children and families.

    Smacking, what is my child really learning if they are smacked?

    In this episode of Let’s Reconnect, registered psychologist Breanna Jayne Sada explores the psychology of physical punishment, smacking and discipline, and asks an important question: what lesson is your child actually learning when they are hit? While physical punishment may stop a behaviour in the moment, compliance is not the same as learning. Breanna explains what happens in a child’s brain when their fight, flight, freeze or fawn response is activated, why a frightened brain struggles to learn, and how fear can impact honesty, emotional regulation and the parent-child relationship. This episode also explores attachment theory and the difference between secure, anxious, avoidant and disorganised attachment. Breanna discusses why children need their parents to be a source of safety and security, and how repeated, unpredictable physical punishment can create confusing messages about love, fear and relationships. Drawing on decades of research into corporal punishment and child development, Breanna discusses the evidence linking physical punishment with increased aggression, poorer mental health, antisocial behaviour and poorer parent-child relationships, as well as why research has failed to show improved long-term behaviour from smacking. Importantly, this episode is not about judging parents. Breanna explores why many parents return to the discipline strategies they experienced in childhood, particularly when they are overwhelmed, angry or exhausted, and why breaking generational parenting cycles often requires consciously learning a different way. In this episode: • Does smacking children actually work? • Why fear and compliance are not the same as learning • The fight, flight, freeze and fawn response in children • Why the thinking brain goes “offline” during stress • Dan Siegel’s Hand Model of the Brain • Social Learning Theory and why children copy what we do • Secure, anxious, avoidant and disorganised attachment • How physical punishment can impact the parent-child relationship • The connection between childhood experiences and future relationships • What research says about smacking and corporal punishment • Connection before correction • Logical and natural consequences • Repairing relationships after conflict • Problem solving with children • Emotion coaching and emotional regulation • Positive reinforcement • Why consistent boundaries help children feel safe • How parents can repair after getting discipline wrong Children don’t need perfect parents, but they do need parents who feel safe. Discipline is about teaching. The goal isn’t simply to stop a behaviour today. It is to help children develop emotional regulation, empathy, accountability, problem-solving skills and resilience for adulthood.

    Parenting in Rural Australia: Motherland with Steph Trethewey

    In this episode of Let's Reconnect, psychologist Breanna Jayne Sada speaks with Stephanie Trethewey, founder and CEO of Motherland Australia, about the unique realities of raising children in regional and rural Australia. Stephanie shares her own journey from city journalist to rural mum and explains why she founded Motherland, a national charity supporting rural mothers experiencing isolation and mental health challenges. Together, they explore the hidden pressures country families face, from limited access to healthcare, childcare and education, to the emotional impact of farming life, succession planning and natural disasters. They also discuss why rural communities demonstrate remarkable strength, while challenging the idea that people should simply be labelled "resilient." The conversation also explores children's education, boarding schools, social media, community connection, parenting in remote Australia and what every Australian can learn from country families about raising connected, capable and resilient children. Whether you live in the city or on the land, this episode offers valuable insights into parenting, mental health and the importance of community.

    What drugs are teens of today using and how to talk to them about it

    Are Australian teenagers really taking more risks than previous generations, or is the story more complicated? With constant headlines about youth crime, vaping and drug use, many parents assume today's teenagers are engaging in more risky behaviour than ever before. But the latest Australian research tells a different story. In this episode of Let's Reconnect, registered psychologist Breanna Jayne Sada explores the latest Australian statistics on teenage alcohol, vaping, smoking and illicit drug use. You'll learn why today's teens are actually drinking less alcohol, delaying substance use for longer, and smoking fewer cigarettes than previous generations, while also unpacking why vaping has emerged as a significant concern. Most importantly, this episode focuses on what parents can do. Rather than relying on lectures or fear, Breanna shares practical strategies to help parents become the trusted adult their child feels safe talking to about drugs, alcohol and peer pressure. Because when it comes to protecting young people, maintaining a strong relationship is one of the most powerful protective factors we have. In this episode you'll learn:• Why Australian teenagers are drinking less than previous generations • The latest research on alcohol, vaping, smoking and cannabis use among young people • Why vaping has become the biggest emerging concern for parents • How adolescent brain development affects risk-taking and substance use • Why curiosity works better than punishment when discussing drugs and alcohol • How to create an environment where your tween or teen feels safe telling you the truth • Conversation starters that encourage openness instead of shutting communication down • Why "a worried parent often looks like an angry parent" and how to avoid this trap Whether your child is 10 or 17, the conversations you have today can shape whether they come to you when the stakes are much higher tomorrow.

    Fighting about Food? Talking all things Child Nutrition w/Dr Kyla

    Is sugar really responsible for hyperactive behaviour? Should parents be worried about processed foods? And what can you do when mealtimes become a daily battleground? In this episode of Let's Reconnect, psychologist Breanna Jayne Sada sits down with paediatric dietitian and feeding specialist Dr Kyla to unpack some of the biggest myths and misconceptions about children's nutrition. Together they explore the relationship between food, mood, behaviour, anxiety, concentration and family connection. They also discuss the growing pressure many parents feel around feeding their children and why social media, conflicting advice and fear-based messaging may be making things harder than they need to be. If you've ever worried that your child isn't eating enough, struggles with fussy eating, skips breakfast, refuses vegetables, or turns mealtimes into a power struggle, this episode is packed with practical, evidence-informed advice. In This Episode We Discuss:The link between food, mood, behaviour and overall wellbeingWhy so many parents feel anxious about their child's eating habitsThe impact of social media and nutrition misinformation on familiesWhether sugar really causes hyperactivity in childrenWhat the research says about food additives and behaviourThe role of hunger in emotional regulation and concentrationWhy some children naturally skip breakfastUnderstanding intuitive eating and trusting children's hunger cuesHow schools and parents can support healthy relationships with foodWhy mealtime power struggles can damage family connectionPractical strategies for managing fussy eatingFood rewards, bribery and their unintended consequencesSupporting children to develop healthy lifelong eating habitsChildhood weight concerns and how to approach them sensitivelySupporting neurodivergent children with eating challengesWhy reducing mealtime stress can benefit the entire familyKey TakeawaysOne of the strongest messages from this conversation is that parents do not need to be perfect. Children do not need a flawless diet to thrive, and mealtimes should be about more than simply getting food into a child. Dr Kyla explains that parents are responsible for what food is offered, while children are responsible for deciding whether and how much they eat. Taking pressure off children, reducing food-related conflict and focusing on connection can help create healthier long-term relationships with food. The episode also challenges several common parenting myths, including the belief that sugar is the primary cause of challenging behaviour and that children need to clean their plate before dessert.
