There has long since been a knowledge gap in medical education regarding care of LGBTQIA+ patients. This has manifested itself in health disparities that detrimentally affect the LGBTQIA+ population. This podcast serves as a way to start bridging the gap on order to mitigate the effects of bias, discrimination, and prejudice that queer patients often face in health care. Research has shown that consistent, early exposure in medical education to patients from the queer community has been beneficial in preparing future practitioners for gender inclusive care. We must also do our parts as pediatricians to make sure our queer youth grow into confident, thriving queer adults.  Join Dr. Farrah-Amoy Fullerton, a recent graduate of the pediatric residency program at MCG, and Professor of Pediatrics, Dr. Lisa Leggio, as they introduce LGBTQIA+ health care disparities and describe ways to bridge the gap for eager general practitioners who would like to know more.

When Jason and Peter heard about a study suggesting that children in The Netherlands were the happiest kids in the world, their reaction was naturally…Really, no really! They were determined to find out how The Netherlands was able to lay claim to having the happiest children in the world! And more importantly…if their claim was true, what could be learned from their child rearing techniques. They also wanted to figure out the correct name for the country, since people refer to it as - “Netherlands” or “The Netherlands” or “Holland”! For answers they turned to an actual Netherlander (or whatever they're called) Veronique van der Kleij. She is a child and school psychologist who has worked at The International School of the Hague with children, adolescents, and their families. She specializes in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). She also has a master's in child and Adolescent Psychology, and a 2-year post-master degree in School Psychology. IN THIS EPISODE: What differentiates kids in Holland from those in other countries. The impact of helicopter parenting. Bikes and kids…the surprising benefits! Dutch kids & social media – how they interact. How the Dutch discuss sex, drugs, gender and other difficult conversations. The shocking differences in parental leave in The Netherlands! How parents punish their children in Holland. The importance of allowing kids to make mistakes. Jason's extraordinary journey to happiness and contentedness.

If your child is afraid to speak around certain people, like adults or strangers, or in certain situations, like at school, they may be struggling with selective mutism. Selective mutism is an anxiety disorder characterized by an inability to speak in certain settings and to certain people. It is commonly misunderstood as shyness or a child could even be misdiagnosed as having Autism Spectrum Disorder or Oppositional Defiance Disorder. But what exactly is selective mutism and how can we tell the difference?  Today's guest helps demystify selective mutism and offers a lot of insight into ways we can help children thrive. Dr. Danielle Cornacchio is the newest member of ChildNEXUS! She is a clinical child psychologist specializing in evidence-based treatments for childhood anxiety, OCD, and disruptive behavior disorders. Dr. Cornacchio has particular expertise in behavioral treatment for childhood selective mutism. In this episode, Dr. Cornacchio explains what selective mutism is, but perhaps more importantly, she explains what it is not. She takes the time to describe what treatment for selective mutism might look like and emphasizes the importance of parent education and participation. Listen to learn more about this often misunderstood condition.   Show Notes: [2:27] - Selective mutism is classified as an anxiety disorder. It is a consistent failure to speak in certain situations despite speaking fine in others. [4:03] - Selective mutism is not Autism Spectrum Disorder or Oppositional Defiance Disorder. It is often misunderstood or misdiagnosed. [7:13] - Kids with selective mutism will typically speak around their parents and siblings at home but won't speak at school. [11:24] - Information and research on treatment for selective mutism is very new but Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is the most beneficial. [14:04] - Dr. Cornacchio shares some of the ways selective mutism shows up including learning situations where talking is not necessary and something called contamination. [17:58] - Therapy sessions once a week are not enough if parents and family members are not also working with a child at home. [21:14] - It's human nature to want to protect your children and reduce their stress, but to overcome challenges, children need to step out of their comfort zones. [24:13] - Dr. Cornacchio demonstrates the steps in early therapy sessions with children with selective mutism including behavior descriptions and labeled praise. [26:34] - The type of question that we ask a child who is ready to speak really matters. [28:11] - Giving children ample time to answer a question can be uncomfortable for parents. [29:29] - After 5 seconds of wait time, if the child does not answer, Dr. Cornacchio demonstrates how to rephrase the question and try something different. [31:47] - But what happens if the child still does not answer a question after different strategies? [33:29] - Teachers do not have the luxury of trying questions multiple times and waiting for answers. But there is a Plan B for teachers to not ever give up on a question. [37:37] - It is important to connect with a provider, but it is challenging to find one that treats selective mutism.   About Our Guest: Dr. Cornacchio completed her PhD in Clinical Science in Child and Adolescent Psychology at Florida International University and her predoctoral internship training at the UCLA Semel Institute. She currently serves as a clinical instructor at the UCLA Psychology Department. Dr. Cornacchio founded and currently directs The WaveMind Clinic in Los Angeles, a clinic dedicated to providing specialized care to children and families with a variety of mental health needs, including selective mutism, OCD, and disruptive behavior disorders. She directs a training program for psychology students and postdoctoral trainees learning Parent Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) and treatment for childhood selective mutism. Dr. Cornacchio leads training for educators and professionals interested in learning more about how to treat selective mutism. Dr. Cornacchio's research interests focus on innovative treatment formats for difficult-to-treat child anxiety. She conducted the first randomized controlled trial of an intensive group treatment program for children with selective mutism and is currently co-authoring a manual that's in press on the delivery of intensive treatment for children with selective mutism.    Connect with Dr. Danielle Cornacchio: WaveMind Clinic Website ChildNEXUS Provider Profile Email: dcornacchio@wavemindclinic.com    Links and Related Resources: Selective Mutism Association website with many resources and a provider database Dr. Steve Kurtz's Selective Mutism Learning University self-guided course   Connect with Us: Get on our Email List Book a Consultation Get Support and Connect with a ChildNEXUS Provider Register for Our Self-Paced Mini Courses with LIVE AMA Sessions   The Diverse Thinking Different Learning podcast is intended for informational purposes only and is not a substitute for medical or legal advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

Our words hold so much more power than we realize, especially over others. But most of us don't even realize that we've said something wrong until it's too late and the damage has already been done. That's why we're taught from a young age the importance of thinking before we speak, a lesson we ought to remember even as adults and especially as parents.

Our NICU adolescents and teens sometimes find themselves trying to cope with a difficult medical diagnosis or a major life change. Dina O'Brien, a pediatric psychologist and NICU mom speaks from experience, on both sides, on how a parent can help their child.   In this episode, we chat about: Why did you pursue a career in pediatric psychology? What is the primary purpose of a pediatric psychologist? How did your background as a pediatric psychologist help or hinder your experience as a NICU mom with your fourth child? For parents, how do you know when your child may benefit from psychology and what are the things they might look for, or assess? How do you find a good pediatric psychologist? Some children don't exhibit effects of a NICU stay until they are well into their early adolescent years? How do you differentiate their challenges from NICU vs regular development? How would you define a successful outcome of a child who has undergone pediatric psychology? What's your best advice to a parent seeking psychological help for his/her child?   Dr. O'Brien is a licensed pediatric clinical psychologist currently working with Mary Bridge Children's Hospital and Harbor Pediatrics in Gig Harbor WA.  She has over 25 years of experience working with the mental health needs of children and teens.  In her spare time, she enjoys spending time with her husband and 4 boys, and spotting orcas across the PNW!   Connect with Dr. O'Brien: Website: www.drdinaobrien.com   The NICU is hard. We're here to help.   Hand to Hold is a national nonprofit dedicated to providing neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) parents with personalized emotional support, educational resources and community before, during and after their baby's NICU stay.

Clinical psychologists Dr. Anne Marie Albano and Dr. Shannon Bennett are no strangers to the trials of social anxiety, both citing formative experiences in their youth that have shaped their careers. With decades of combined experience in the field, the two have contributed to the gold standard for treatment of anxious youth using cognitive behavioral therapies. Dr. Albano and Dr. Bennett share details on the proven effectiveness of treating parents alongside children, as well as incorporating immersive group therapy. They discuss how well-meaning but overprotective parenting can create further avoidant tendencies in children and young adults, and they explore the neuroscience that confirms how adolescent treatment for anxiety differs from that of young children or adults. For more information visit nyp.org/Advances

Original Air Date: September 14, 2021 Lisa Dion is joined by special guest Dr. David Crenshaw for a touching and heartfelt conversation about Finding the Hidden Gifts Within Children, especially those who have been deeply mistreated and hurt.  In this episode, David reminds you that children who have been wounded so often present with many protective patterns that often hide their inner treasures, talents, strengths, and deeper qualities about themselves.  And at times, these patterns are so strong in the child, that you might get easily swayed, become confused, or forget that they are protective strategies … Forgetting that under all that shutdown, back talk, aggressive behavior, or resistance, is the child's true self - their virtues, their essence, their wholeness. Listen as David shares his wisdom and some of the lessons learned from his 53 years in the field - and a key message to always look for the treasures buried within. *David A. Crenshaw, Ph.D. is Clinical Director of the Children's Home of Poughkeepsie He is Past-President of the New York Association for Play Therapy, a Board Certified Clinical Psychologist; a Fellow of the American Psychological Association, Division of Child and Adolescent Psychology, and a Registered Play Therapy Supervisor.  He has received several Lifetime Achievement Awards including most recently in 2021 by the Association for Play Therapy. He is the author/editor/co-editor of numerous books, book chapters, and journal articles on child aggression, play therapy and child trauma. * If you enjoy this podcast, please give us a five-star rating and review on Apple Podcast, subscribe wherever you listen to podcasts, and invite your friends/fellow colleagues to join us.  *

With summer vacation underway here at the ABA Inside Track studios, we've decided to take a vacation with ourselves in this month's episodes while still checking out 14 recent articles across three different topics. Possibly at the beach. First, we'll be discussing the best way to min-max your school FBA before breaking out our fidget spinners with an updated review of research on ADHD treatments. Finally we look at multiple examples of articles discussing multiple exemplars. So, whether you're wearing a t-shirt, pajamas, or something in between, we've got a topic for you.

Joining the conversation today is Dr. Thomas Brown, Director of the Brown Clinic for Attention and Related Disorders. Dr. Brown is also the author of several articles and books, but today we talk about his most recent book ADHD and Asperger Syndrome in Smart Kids and Adults.  Listen to Dr. Brown as he describes common difficulties individuals with ADHD and Asperger Syndrome have and how it impacts them going into adulthood. In many situations that he has seen, children with Asperger Syndrome go unnoticed until middle school, high school, or even beyond as their level of intelligence is generally very high. As they get older, executive functioning and social demands increase and that's where things might get challenging. This episode is about those struggles and helping these individuals better understand the world around them.   Show Notes: [2:49] - Dr. Brown shares what inspired him to write his most recent book, ADHD and Asperger Syndrome in Smart Kids and Adults: Twelve Stories of Struggle, Support, and Treatment. [4:01] - A common struggle for children and adults with ADHD and Asperger Syndrome is with socialization. [5:09] - Dr. Brown believes the grouping of Asperger Syndrome with Autism is a disservice and notes the differences. [6:24] - The executive functioning of those with ADHD and those with Asperger Syndrome have a lot of similarities. [8:52] - Autism Spectrum Disorder is a very broad spectrum but Dr. Brown notes some of the differences in Asperger Syndrome. [11:08] - Moving into middle school and high school makes things more difficult with executive functioning and social demands. [13:12] - Many times, Asperger Syndrome is not detected in early elementary grade levels. [15:24] - Another concern that Dr. Brown notes is regulating emotions. [17:32] - Dr. Brown looks closely at executive functioning to understand the profile for each child he sees. [19:30] - Dr. Brown gives an example of the complexity of ADHD. [22:17] - The cognitive ability of individuals with Asperger Syndrome is very high. [24:20] - Many times, they are not able to see someone else's perspective. [25:57] - In those with Asperger Syndrome, there is difficulty understanding how their interaction makes others feel. [27:42] - Dr. Brown shares a story of a man who continued to lose his job to demonstrate how social struggles can manifest in adulthood. [31:07] - Dr. Brown lists some of the noticeable social tendencies in early years. [32:51] - Emotional regulation also impacts motivation in both positive and negative ways. [34:47] - When Asperger Syndrome goes unnoticed until high school or even later, it can be difficult to deal with. Many times, individuals are praised for their intelligence but then struggle with other challenges. [38:01] - Remember that it is not intentional when individuals say something hurtful. [39:18] - While very intelligent, some individuals struggle with reading social cues. [40:11] - Dr. Brown says to remember strengths and talents in treatment.   About Our Guest: Thomas E. Brown earned his Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology at Yale University and then served on the clinical faculty of the Dept. of Psychiatry at Yale School of Medicine for 21 years while operating a clinic in CT for children and adults with ADHD and related problems.

Dr. John R. Weisz, Ph.D., is a Professor of Psychology at Harvard where he focuses his research on developing interventions for youth mental health problems. He is a past president of the Society of Clinical Child and Adolescent Psychology and the International Society for Research in Child and Adolescent Psychopathology as well as a recipient of the James McKeen Cattell Lifetime Achievement Award from the Association for Psychological Science. At Harvard, Dr. Weisz's Lab for Youth Mental Health focuses on developing, implementing, and testing psychological treatment interventions to help alleviate anxiety, depression, conduct problems, ADD/ADHD, and post-traumatic stress in kids. The thing is, most children present multiple problems at the same time. To best treat kids with a profile of mental health issues, Dr. Weisz and his team have worked hard to combine components of the best tested and proven interventions into one comprehensive approach. On top of explaining what that transdiagnostic approach looks like, we talk more generally about other treatments I'm trying to better understand like CBT and medication and also dive into brief digital interventions. They are 30 to 45 minutes, interactive, delivered online without any supervision needed, and most importantly proven - making them a great way to expand the accessibility of mental health care that is so desperately needed. Please enjoy.

In this 102nd episode, Lisa is joined by special guest Dr. David Crenshaw for a touching and heartfelt conversation about Finding the Hidden Gifts Within Children, especially those who have been deeply mistreated and hurt. In this episode, David reminds you that children who have been wounded so often present with many protective patterns that often hide their inner treasures, talents, strengths, and deeper qualities about themselves.  And at times, these patterns are so strong in the child, that you might get easily swayed, become confused, or forget that they are protective strategies … Forgetting that under all that shutdown, back talk, aggressive behavior, or resistance, is the child's true self - their virtues, their essence, their wholeness. Listen as David shares his wisdom and some of the lessons learned from his 53 years in the field - and a key message to always look for the treasures buried within.  *David A.

For instance, what do you do if your child does not seem to be putting forth effort in therapy?

In this episode, we go into the way back machine all the way to 2018! Matt's other podcast, The Trauma-Informed Lens Podcast introduced him to the science behind HRV. We thought it would be a great way to explore HRV with a few trauma and stress experts! The first podcast in a series focused on the relationship between heart rate variability and trauma, we introduce the concept and provide some initial insights. In 2015, the Journal of Clinical Child & Adolescent Psychology published a unique special issue dedicated to the idea of implementing physiological measures into the assessment of Clinical Child & Adolescent behavioral health.  The issue included several articles demonstrating how this can be done.  We start a multi-episode show to share some literature, examples, and issues with using physiology in our assessment and understanding of some of the impacts of exposure to adverse childhood experiences.

Recent studies published in the journal Circulation: Cardiovascular Quality and Outcomes , suggest that dog ownership is linked to a 21% reduction in the risk of death for people with heart disease. Those studies complement a body of literature linking dogs to good health, which is something all pet owners can be thankful for. While the studies focused specifically on the benefits of dog ownership which included physical activity from taking the dog outside and the oxytocin, or “cuddle hormone” released when interacting with a dog, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention point out that any pet can help manage loneliness and depression by giving us companionship. The American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychology states that “children raised with pets show many benefits. Developing positive feelings about pets can contribute to a child's self-esteem and self-confidence. Positive relationships with pets can aid in the development of trusting relationships with others.

Leah was like many food allergy parents stressed over how to balance work, normal family responsibilities and keeping her son safe and included at school and social activities. The support she was looking for did not exist. She left her marketing career behind and took her years of learning as a food allergy mom to become a food allergy expert. She went back to school and completed her Master's in Child and Adolescent Psychology while conducting outreach programs for the Food Allergy Research & Education Organization.

Season 1 Parent Synopsis for 13 Reasons Why 13 Reasons Why is a Netflix series that depicts suicide in a graphic manner and is incredibly popular with teens. Currently, the show has 2 seasons available to watch on Netflix In season 1, the show focuses on a high school student named Clay and his friend Hannah Hannah takes her own life and leaves behind a set of cassette tapes that describe the 13 reasons why she ended her life Hannah dedicates each one of the 13 tapes to a different classmate who has hurt her in some way Difficult subject matter is a common focus on the show like bullying, drunk driving, rape, self-harm, and suicide The show can be very graphic. There are several episodes in season 1 that showcase difficult subject matter in great detail For season 1, Netflix released a 30 minute special called “Beyond the Reasons,” that has mental health professionals, cast members, writers, and producers discussing the difficult themes presented in the show What do parents need to know about season 1? 13 Reasons Why is incredibly popular with teens. According to a marketing analytics firm, the first season of the show was the second-most viewed Netflix season in the first 30 days after it premiered Parents will see an uptick in popularity since season 2 of the show was released on May 18, 2018 Many educators and psychologists have raised concerns that the show may serve as a trigger for self-injury among vulnerable students In New Zealand, students under the age of 18 are strongly discouraged from watching the series without a parent or guardian present Netflix added strong advisory warnings before episodes 1, 12, and 13 of the first season due to the portrayal of suicide and self-harm After every episode there are mental health resources and a message that depression and suicide can be effectively treated by a qualified mental health professional Episode 13 of season 1 is very graphic and shows Hannah’s suicide in great detail A recent study found that the release of 13 Reasons Why corresponded with between 900,000 – 1,500,000 more suicide related internet searches in the U.S., including a 26% increase in searches for “how to commit suicide” Some mental health professionals criticize the show for showcasing misleading information which could deter vulnerable students from seeking help. For example, Hannah’s counselor says they can’t report her sexual assault to the police without her identifying the assailant Over the course of the first season, the following difficult topics are presented: bullying, drunk driving, rape, self-harm and suicide Some say the show sends a dangerous message that suicide can be used to “get back” at others Some of the mental health organizations and educators who have released statements regarding the risks the show poses are: the National Association of School Psychologists, the Superintendent of Palm Beach County, Florida schools, the U.S. Society of Clinical Child and Adolescent Psychology, and the Canadian Mental Health Association What can parents do? We recommend that students younger than 18 years old do not watch this series Be aware of the show, it’s graphic nature, and the topics portrayed Ensure that your children know that the show is not reality and can romanticize self-harm Parents can create a PIN which allows them to view the Netflix series before giving their students access to it Parents can watch the show to better understand the perspective of a vulnerable student Teach your children that they can always come to you or a trusted adult if they have an incident, want to talk, or have questions If you decide that your teen is ready to watch 13 Reasons Why, watch it with them and use it as an opportunity to start an open dialog about the sensitive topics presented in the show Teach your student to never confront someone in a dangerous situation — especially if they have a weapon. Instead they should alert authorities, teachers, parents, or trusted adults right away Tell your students to follow their gut, if something doesn’t feel right they need to seek help from an adult Consider joining Parent University to get access to our bullying prevention curriculum for parents, students, and schools Read more here: https://smartsocial.com/blog/ Join our next webinar to learn the 30 worst apps your students should never use: https://smartsocial.com/#webinars Join Parent University to get videos to watch with your kids so they can better understand WHY they need to be smart online.

It’s no secret that I do some episodes of the podcast altruistically for you, dear listeners, because I’m not facing the situation that I’m studying – or at least not yet. (Eyebrows were raised in our house when I started researching the impact of divorce on children but luckily for me I don’t need that episode…yet…) But today’s episode is for me, and you guys are just along for the ride. Because, friends, we are in the thick of what I now know to be called “oppositional defiance,” otherwise known as “Noooo! I don’t wanna [insert activity here]”. We’ll discuss why toddlers are defiant, and lots of strategies we can use to deal with that defiance and even head it off at the pass.
