Are you feeling overwhelmed by all the different approaches to helping your child with attention, behavior, or learning challenges? As a mom and a doctor, I totally get it. In this podcast, I first dive into the world of traditional versus alternative treatments for kids' developmental issues. Then, we'll explore why the usual route of medication and standard therapies might not always be the best fit, and why it's so crucial to keep an open mind about other options out there. Moreover, we'll discuss the pros and cons of insurance-based treatments and why sometimes thinking outside the box can lead to better results.

Next, I'll share some practical tips on how to research different approaches, such as primitive reflex work and nutrition, that could make a significant difference for your child. Additionally, we'll delve into the fascinating connection between body movement and brain development, and how understanding this link can unlock new ways to help your little one thrive. Furthermore, I'll explain concepts like lateralization and the homunculus in simple terms, showing how they relate to your child's learning and behavior. Whether you're a parent desperately looking for answers or just curious about how our amazing brains work, this episode is packed with eye-opening insights that could transform the way you think about child development and learning.
