One in two children in America has either a physical or a mental health issue. This is a serious problem. Even though that’s a statistic relevant to America, this is a global issue. Children are also displaying a ton of physical problems, everything from obesity to asthma, eczema, and other conditions.

In this episode, Traci will have an informative discussion around children’s mental health with Dr. Roseann Capanna Hodge. She is the founder and director of Dr. Roseanne and Associates, and she’s the originator of the 360-degree reboot intensive therapies program. She works with kids, teens, and parents in Richfield in Newtown, Connecticut. She’s co-authored a book called ‘The Brain Under Attack’, a resource guide about pan’s pandas. She’s an expert in several areas, including anxiety-related disorders, ADHD, autism, executive functioning, dyslexia, and other learning disabilities.

Dr. Roseann shares her wisdom with us. Listen in.
