Listen Later

Today I am joined by Dr. Carrie Jackson, PhD, Child Psychologist.

Dr. Jackson has worked in a wide array of hospitals, community clinics, and nonprofit organizations as a therapist and is focused on providing services for children and families with challenging behaviors such as Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder.In our conversation, Dr. Jackson shares what led her to a career in psychology and how she works with children (and parents) with ADHD and oppositional defiant disorder. We discuss what ADHD is, how it presents in children, and how parents and teachers can support children with ADHD.

In this episode:

  • How Dr. Carrie's childhood led her to a career in psychology
  • What are emotion regulation disorders?
  • What is ADHD and what are the different ways that it can present in children?
  • Is ADHD being overdiagnosed today?
  • What should parents and teachers look for if they think ADHD is a possibility?
  • What is oppositional defiant disorder and how is it treated?
  • Why being specific with verbal praise and feedback is helpful for children in general, but especially for children with ADHD
  • How learning to identify and label emotions helps children
