Your Parenting Partner Podcast

Me and my pal Justin Menda from Rocket Prep, talk all about helicopter parenting and what studies are saying about it (it's not GOOD). Take a listen to hear what it's like to hang with us and hash out child dev stuffs. We talk about how kids brains are developing slower and it's NOT a good thing. How by hovering we are, unwittingly, harming. It's not too late. Listen, learn, laugh (a lot). Stay until the way end for our love fest. Some friends you meet later in life and you connect instantly. This is our second of many pods. Justin is brilliant and so much fun and so kind. This one is a can't miss. It's long but sooooooo worth it.

My buddy and I, Michael McLeod from Grow Now Therapy, chat about the difference between boys and girls when it comes to ADHD or Executive Functioning Developmental Delay. We don't have enough information to address non-binary, gender fluid or trans kids. I would love to delve into that but today it's about cis kids. Don't miss this fascinating discussion about ADHD/EFDD. You will learn things you never knew. This is so great.

The amazing, Michael McLeod, from GrowNOW Therapy, took a break from parenting a super (hella cute) newborn to tell us all about what is new in ADHD. It will blow your mind how different the ideas are now and the ways to help your kids are wayyyyy different too. Take a listen and see how you can help your kids whether you are a parent, teacher, coach, mentor or anyone in the life of a child. These ideas are life changing. I have already started to use them myself. For more about GrowNow head to https://www.grownowtherapy.com/.
