S09|06 - Anxiety, ADHD, and School Support with Dr Emily

Neurodivergent kids need to be supported both in the home and in the classroom to thrive and grow. ADHD and anxiety seem to be on the rise, but schools aren’t always creating the most effective environment for the growth to happen. In this episode I am joined by Dr Emily in a conversation around supporting learning in the classroom for neurodivergent kids, and how this support can help all kids too.

In this episode:

• We talk about how to support ADHD and anxiety in our kids and youth
• Why anxiety may be on the rise, and the power of play
• Our current curriculum not aligning with child development
• How play-based education is supportive for young kids (not pushing academics early will help them with future learning)
• How we can advocate for our kids mental health in the classroom, and when to know if changing schools is needed
