With the right support, we know your child can shine at school.

#163: Is It ADHD, Anxiety, or Both?
The Childhood Collective
8/28/2024
SUMMARY
Difficulty getting started on a task. Working very slowly during a math test. Difficulty falling asleep at night. Are you ready for a pop quiz?? Here it is: Do these examples make you think of ADHD, or anxiety? What if we told you that they could be either one... or both? The truth is, many times these diagnoses can look similar on the surface. But they are very different, and need different types of support! Today, Lori and Mallory are sharing about the overlap and differences between ADHD and anxiety from the perspective of two child psychologists.

As an ADHD parent herself, Amy is relatable, honest, and full of practical ideas to make life easier for ADHD families. As we transition back into the school year, we asked Amy to share how she tweaks her systems for every season.

EPISODE #157: ADHD and Nutrition: Separating Fact from Fiction with Dr. Taylor Arnold
5/22/2024
SUMMARYNutrition advice and ADHD can be so tricky. From empty product promises to misleading marketing, finding support for your child’s diet seems to be one discouragement after another. You buy all the supplements, limit all the things, and notice a minimal difference. Our goal has always been to support families. It’s no secret that balanced nutrition is part of a healthy start for kids, but what about all the other information? In today’s episode, we interview pediatric nutrition expert Dr. Taylor Arnold to help us separate fact from fiction regarding ADHD and nutrition.
MEET TAYLORDr. Taylor Arnold is a pediatric nutrition expert. She specializes in helping parents nurture healthy relationships with food so their kids eat more veggies and don’t obsess over sweets. Dr. Taylor is a mom of three, has a PhD in nutrition, and is a pediatric registered dietitian. She has a YouTube channel with FREE content and courses for parents about healthy relationships with food, picky eating, and infant solids introduction. Her mission is to change the world by making this information accessible and affordable to EVERYONE and to help parents raise the next generation of eaters to love and nourish their bodies.

EPISODE #156: I Didn’t Mean to Do That! Impulsivity and ADHD
The Childhood Collective
5/15/2024
SUMMARY“Why did you do that?”
“What were you thinking?”
Sound familiar?
When our kids act impulsively, it is easy for us to get frustrated and confused. We might start asking our kids why they behaved the way they did. The truth is, initially, they often don’t even know. Once everyone is regulated, it is easier to figure out what happened. As parents, we naturally want our kids with ADHD to slow down and consider their actions, but it's a challenge. It can be heartbreaking to see impulsive behavior negatively impact their social life or lead to consequences. That's why today, we’re sharing strategies to help them develop through these situations.
MEET OUR TEAMWe are Lori, Mallory, and Katie. Lori and Mallory are child psychologists, and Katie is a speech language pathologist. Most importantly, we are moms, just like you. After working with families over a combined total of 40 years, we saw a need to provide ongoing support and education to parents raising children with ADHD.

EPISODE #154: Why Kids with ADHD Lie and What to Do About It
The Childhood Collective
5/1/2024
SUMMARYMost of the time, we don’t need to see growing noses to know if our kids are telling us a lie. We catch the lie, and then all the feelings come. We might feel angry, hurt, worried, or downright annoyed. Navigating our own reactions can be tricky. As parents, it's important to keep in mind that our kids have differences in their executive functioning. We want to empower you with 4 strategies you can use to navigate lying (and encourage honestly!) in your children with ADHD.
MEET OUR TEAMWe are Lori, Mallory, and Katie. Lori and Mallory are child psychologists, and Katie is a speech language pathologist. Most importantly, we are moms, just like you.

EPISODE #153: Understanding ADHD in Girls with Psychologist Stephen Hinshaw
4/24/2024
SUMMARYWhen people think of ADHD, they often picture the wiggly 6-year-old who struggles to keep his hands to himself and loves making his classmates laugh. We don’t often picture the little girl with a busy brain and loves to talk. For years, girls were overlooked in the research for ADHD. This resulted in a misunderstanding of their need for support. Getting these amazing girls the right treatment as early as possible is paramount for their success. In this episode, we are interviewing Stephen Hinshaw, an expert on ADHD in girls. He shares a summary of a twenty-five-year research study and how to support these amazing girls!
MEET STEPHEN HINSHAWStephen Hinshaw is a Distinguished Professor of Psychology at UC Berkeley and Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at UC San Francisco. His research focuses on ADHD (especially in girls and women), self-harm, clinical interventions, and stigma reduction. He has authored over 420 articles and chapters, plus 12 books. His memoir, Another Kind of Madness, was Best Book in Memoir/Autobiography from American BookFest (2018). Among national/international awards: James McKeen Cattell Fellow Award (Association for Psychological Science, 2016); Distinguished Scientific Contributions Award (American Psychological Association, 2020); Sarnat International Prize in Mental Health (National Academy of Medicine, 2020); and induction into the American Academy of Arts and Sciences (2021). His extensive media coverage includes the New York Times, Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, CBS Evening News, Today Show, and more.

EPISODE #151: Growing up with Undiagnosed ADHD with Therapist Holly Blanc Moses
4/10/2024
SUMMARYAs kids are evaluated and diagnosed with ADHD, it is not uncommon for parents to look back on their childhood. Many adults experience a lightbulb moment when they reflect on their educational and social journey. Knowing what they know now sparks a personal process of considering an adult diagnosis. This is especially common for women since ADHD in girls is sometimes hard to spot. Our guest today, Holly Blanc Moses, shares her experience of growing up with undiagnosed ADHD and how receiving the diagnosis changed her life.
MEET HOLLYHolly Blanc Moses is a neurodivergent therapist, course creator, and celebrated speaker devoted to supporting neurodivergent children, teens, adults, and their families.

The Childhood Collective
4/3/2024
SUMMARYYou’ve researched providers, you’ve verified insurance, made it through the long waiting list, and it is FINALLY time for the first ADHD appointment - the intake. We know you want to make the most of the visit to support your child, but it can get overwhelming between the questionnaires and forms. You may have a running list in your notes of everything in your head but have no idea what to mention and when. We’ve sat on the professional and parent sides of the evaluation, and today, we are sharing questions you’ll be asked, areas that are evaluated, and encouragement for you in the process.
MEET OUR TEAMWe are Lori, Mallory, and Katie. Lori and Mallory are child psychologists, and Katie is a speech language pathologist. Most importantly, we are moms, just like you.

3/27/2024
SUMMARYIn our culture, we hear the term “OCD” thrown around a lot. “I’m so OCD about…” While this isn’t intended for harm, it does foster confusion about what it really means to have Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. It’s far more nuanced than the common idea of constant hand-washing or organization. OCD can be common in kids with ADHD, so in today’s episode, we talk with OCD therapist Natasha Daniels to hear from her 20+ years of experience with treating OCD. From understanding the diagnosis to getting the right treatment, Natasha shares what every parent needs to know to support their kids.

EPISODE #147: “Defiance” and ADHD: Getting Curious About What’s Beneath the Surface
The Childhood Collective
3/13/2024
SUMMARYAsking your child to clean their room or do one page of homework shouldn’t launch a battle complete with meltdowns, but often, for kids with ADHD, it does. You’re trying your hardest to breathe and regulate, but inside, you’re thinking, “Why is everything a fight?!” For those of us who grew up in strict, authoritarian homes, this is even more triggering. We feel disrespected by the “defiance” and don’t understand why some tasks cause such a disruption. While it’s incredibly frustrating, you are not alone. This is common in children with ADHD. The truth is that defiance is often a symptom of something deeper for the child. So today, we are going to dig into four possible explanations for why your ADHD child may seem defiant.
MEET OUR TEAMWe are Lori, Mallory, and Katie. Lori and Mallory are child psychologists, and Katie is a speech language pathologist. Most importantly, we are moms, just like you. After working with families over a combined total of 40 years, we saw a need to provide ongoing support and education to parents raising children with ADHD.
