Summary

On today’s episode I talk to a psychologist about a controversial topic, which is ADHD in children. Let’s be honest, I love talking about controversial topics here. We talk about the symptoms of ADHD and quite frankly I think most children at some point in their childhood could meet the criteria. Whether or not a child is diagnosed, Ashlee and I agree that providing children with skills and strategies to learn is more effective than any medication. Ashlee is a registered psychologist that specializes in assessment, counseling, and consultation services. She works with children and families both in schools and private practice. Ashlee is currently a member of the College of Alberta Psychologists, Psychologists Association of Alberta and the National Association of School Psychologists. Ashlee strongly believes that collaborative approach will help create the most successful opportunity for each child. In addition to her professional life, Ashlee is passionate about traveling and spending time with her two boys. In this episode we discuss: Reasons more children are diagnosed with ADHD these days Symptoms of ADHD that may indicate you should seek professional help How ADHD is diagnosed and what interventions are available Tips for parents who have a child with ADHD Resources: Smart but Scattered The Whole Brain Child Taking Charge of ADHD Simplicity Parenting ADDitude - Inside the ADHD Mind Child Mind Institute Color Monster Connect with Ashley: Instagram: @stuffashleedoes Email: [email protected] Connect on Instagram @motherhoodmeetsmedicine.
