It’s hard to determine whether your child’s ‘erratic behavior’ equates to a sensory processing issue or whether it’s just plain old acting out.
Either way - trying to ascertain what’s driving these behaviors can be really hard for parents to navigate.
In this episode I talk with Dana about how she dealt with - not
only the challenges that her daughter was facing - but also how she
learned, as a parent, to offer the right support her daughter
needed.
Dana discusses the importance of trusting your intuition as a
parent - as you know your child best - and you can read through the
tantrums (or the silences) and see beneath the behaviors.
Whilst the teen years are indeed a challenge - negotiating these
times with either ADHD or Anxiety (or indeed both) compounds the
struggles that have to be addressed.
We discuss some of the things to watch out for - though indeed
every child is different - and some of the coping strategies that
will make life a little bit easier to deal with.

This week I turn One Year Old 🎉🎂
Ok - so that's stretching it a bit ...
My Podcast : The Parent & Teen Toolbox is One Year Old!
On April 1st 2020 I launched my new Podcast 🎉
If you cast your mind back - we were just settling down into our
first lockdown - and to be honest we were beginning to feel the
pressure.
I wanted to help parents and teenagers adjust to what was becoming
the "new norm" and the fastest way to do just that was through a
Podcast!
Ta-Dah!
And One year later we are still going strong.
I have released an episode every Tuesday ever since and I have
loved every minute.
I have spoken to some fantastic people - and we have covered many
different topics.
