When it comes to the growth and development of your little one, I think it's safe to say that most mums have a tendency to be oversensitive. We all have stories to relate of parents we know or have seen being hugely over protective.

However, no one knows your little one like you do, so it's important to seek professional help if you feel something is amiss with their natural development. Always trust that gut feeling!

The earlier conditions such as ADHD and autism are diagnosed, the better, so if in doubt get on to it!

This week's guest Theresa Inman knows all about this because she works with children from birth to three years of age to help identify whether they have issues. She then provides strategies and help, in conjunction with an occupational therapist which can help prevent things from escalating.

Theresa is a Board Certified Behavior Analyst and Infant Toddler Developmental Specialist and author of the book How Can I Help My Child Communicate.

In this episode you'll hear Theresa and I talk about:-

• Why it's so important for early intervention and to get them diagnosed early during the crucial birth to aged three window and not to delay this.
• What moms can look for that could indicate issues such as speech delays or sensory issues.
• Possible signs that could point to autism.

AND much more.

So go ahead, my dear mum. Click to listen and get started.
