Back to School with a RAD Kid

In this episode of RAD Parenting Podcast, we delve into the topic of children's behavior: Does your kid have ADHD or is it, hypervigilance, screen time, and sleep deprivation. We explore the fine line between normal childhood exploration and behavior that may indicate ADHD. Excessive screen time is highlighted as a potential disruptor of focus and a contributor to anxiety, depression, and ADHD symptoms.   The importance of considering various elements, such as diet, exercise, outdoor activities, sleep, and screen time, is emphasized in understanding a child's behavior. By examining these factors, parents can gain valuable insights into what might be influencing their child's actions.   The episode stresses the significance of parents acting as the guardians of screen time, encouraging limits and the cultivation of other forms of entertainment and creativity. It is argued that excessive screen time can hinder a child's ability to daydream, be creative, and allow their brain to rest and regenerate. Reading, on the other hand, is presented as a powerful tool that enhances creativity, empathy, and engages the brain in a manner that promotes neuronal growth.   Ultimately, the episode raises concerns about the short-term dopamine spikes associated with excessive screen time and the potential negative impact on cause-and-effect thinking, potentially leading to risky behavior choices. By focusing on alternative activities, maintaining a balanced lifestyle, and fostering a love for reading, parents can help their children develop healthier behaviors and cognitive patterns.   Connect with Tracey: <ul> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> Visit <a href= "http://www.fullcirclefamilycounseling.com/getting-started/">http://www.fullcirclefamilycounseling.com/getting-started/</a> for more information or to schedule a consultation </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> LinkedIn: <a href= "https://www.linkedin.com/in/tracey-turner-keyser-0a1b5433?miniProfileUrn=urn%3Ali%3Afs_miniProfile%3AACoAAAccZHkBd2fQdfRHfc0y5hH8b0k0CXqn-P4&lipi=urn%3Ali%3Apage%3Ad_flagship3_search_srp_all%3Bjc7%2BNcyaQdmtFuz6e44Oig%3D%3D"> Tracey Turner-Keyser</a>  </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> Facebook: <a href= "https://www.facebook.com/fullcirclefamilycounseling/">https://www.facebook.com/fullcirclefamilycounseling/</a> </li> </ul>   **The information and advice given in this podcast is for educational and informational purposes only.

Does My Kid Have ADHD?

Welcome to the Reactive Attachment Disorder Parenting Podcast where we help give you information to turn your RAD kid into a family kid. In today’s episode, we embark on a discussion of Mother’s Day and parenting dynamics. We unravel the mysterious triggers lurking beneath this seemingly innocent holiday and question the peculiar notion of fathers being reduced to mere "babysitters" rather than equal partners. Our hosts kick off the episode with a lighthearted jab at the societal norms that have pigeonholed fathers into the babysitter category. Through clever analogies to professional childcare providers, we expose the underlying biases and assumptions that perpetuate this misconception. It's high time we redefine fatherhood and celebrate their invaluable role as dedicated and involved caregivers. Moving on, we delve into the trials and tribulations faced by mothers, who often find themselves bearing the brunt of parenting responsibilities. From the pursuit of picture-perfect, well-behaved children to the unintentional holding of new learning and information, moms can find themselves trapped in a comedy of resentment, guilt, and frustration. Creating a nurturing and supportive environment for both parents can be a tricky balancing act, but it can be possible with a few tweaks here and there.  Prepare for laughs aplenty as we take on the legendary "dishwasher syndrome," where moms feel an irresistible urge to swoop in and "fix" their partners' attempts at domestic chores. But fret not, for we offer practical guidance on goal-setting, managing expectations, and celebrating even the quirkiest steps toward parenting triumphs, even if they come with a touch of dad's unique style. Communication takes center stage as we uncover the power of seamless transitions between work, home, and the countless demands of family life. Our hosts serve up clever strategies, suggesting moments of downtime to recharge, and introducing the concept of "strong sitting" or designated decompression time, injecting a dose of humor and relief into the daily whirlwind. In recognizing the challenges faced by families with children from difficult backgrounds, we delve into the significance of honoring the profound act of mothering and teaching children the art of reciprocating love and appreciation. We drive home the idea that relationships thrive not on a strict tally of give-and-take, but on a delightful dance of mutual support and understanding. Join us for this captivating episode as we navigate the chaotic yet endearing realm of Mother's Day (even though this applies to pretty much all holidays), revamp parenting dynamics, and arm you with practical tips to foster a loving and joy-filled environment where both parents can thrive. Get ready to chuckle, learn, and embrace the adventure of parenthood with open hearts and a playful spirit!   Connect with Tracey: <ul> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> Visit <a href= "http://www.fullcirclefamilycounseling.com/getting-started/">http://www.fullcirclefamilycounseling.com/getting-started/</a> for more information or to schedule a consultation </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> LinkedIn: <a href= "https://www.linkedin.com/in/tracey-turner-keyser-0a1b5433?miniProfileUrn=urn%3Ali%3Afs_miniProfile%3AACoAAAccZHkBd2fQdfRHfc0y5hH8b0k0CXqn-P4&lipi=urn%3Ali%3Apage%3Ad_flagship3_search_srp_all%3Bjc7%2BNcyaQdmtFuz6e44Oig%3D%3D"> Tracey Turner-Keyser</a>  </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> Facebook: <a href= "https://www.facebook.com/fullcirclefamilycounseling/">https://www.facebook.com/fullcirclefamilycounseling/</a> </li> </ul> **The information and advice given in this podcast is for educational and informational purposes only.

Mother's Day Madness: Unlocking the Parenting Puzzle with Laughter and Love

In this episode, we’re continuing the conversation about interracial adoption with Jena and her daughter. There really are so many little things happening that we don’t think about when blended families come together. Finding and building community with others who have a similar ancestral background as the adopted child is very beneficial though. Most importantly, we need to make sure the child’s needs are being met. That may mean seeking out additional support, asking for help, and being an active listener to really understand your child.    Adoption is an incredible thing, but it’s very parent-centered, and not very child-centered. Adopted children may feel gratefulness and happiness one day, and sorrow the next day. No matter the age they are when they come into their adopted family, children will feel loss, and like they are grieving, which is totally okay. As adoptive parents, it’s vital to allow your kids to have their feelings, and share their story in the way they want to. Finding a therapist who specializes in trauma and loss, and can also help them get to a place of contentment (however that looks for the child) will go a long way.   Learn more about Be the Bridge Organization: <a href= "https://bethebridge.com/">https://bethebridge.com/</a>   Connect with Tracey: <ul class="ul1"> <li class="li1">Visit <a href= "http://www.fullcirclefamilycounseling.com/getting-started/"> http://www.fullcirclefamilycounseling.com/getting-started/</a> for more information or to schedule a consultation</li> <li class="li3">LinkedIn: <a href= "https://www.linkedin.com/in/tracey-turner-keyser-0a1b5433?miniProfileUrn=urn%3Ali%3Afs_miniProfile%3AACoAAAccZHkBd2fQdfRHfc0y5hH8b0k0CXqn-P4&lipi=urn%3Ali%3Apage%3Ad_flagship3_search_srp_all%3Bjc7%2BNcyaQdmtFuz6e44Oig%3D%3D"> Tracey Turner-Keyser</a> </li> <li class="li3">Facebook: <a href= "https://www.facebook.com/fullcirclefamilycounseling/">https://www.facebook.com/fullcirclefamilycounseling/</a> </li> </ul>   **The information and advice given in this podcast is for educational and informational purposes only.
