What do Parents Know?

This episode is with the amazing Parul Singh, founder of Parallel Minds, and we talk everything ADHD; a really personal one for me, given my own recent ADHD diagnosis. We talk about own own experiences with ADHD and how parents can look out for the signs of ADHD either in themselves or in their children. We also discuss why it's so important to get a diagnosis so appropriate help and support can be put into place and the right labels can be attached to our children.

Join me as I talk to Jess Lovibond about how complex generational relationships can have a huge impact on children. We talk about how the way you were parented can impact how you parent and what parents can do to work through trauma to be more present for their own children. Jess offers advice and guidance of building positive relationships with children based on her own experience and practice.

I'm in conversation with Tommy Hatto, actor, speaker and body image expert about why so many young people have issues with their bodies. We talk about how social media has negatively impacted young people because of who and what they see. We also discuss what parents can do to support their children and to encourage their children to be happy and proud of the body they're in.

I'm joined by Mike Nicholson, founder of Progressive Masculinity to talk about the impact that social media influencers are having on young boys. A former teacher, we talk about Mike's work with schools to demonstrate how modern masculinity doesn't have to be what a number of influencers say it should be and that being a man does not equate to being dominant and assertive, especially in relationships.
