Would banning social media for under-16s protect our children, or simply drive their online lives further underground? As debate around children's access to social media continues, Ellie Thompson welcomes Child and Educational Psychologist Dr Emily Crosby to the Parental Control podcast to look beyond the headlines and explore what social media is really doing to young minds. With more than 13 years' experience supporting children, young people and their families across NHS, local authority and private practice settings, Dr Crosby explains why adolescence is such a critical period for identity, self-esteem and emotional development, and how constant exposure to unrealistic content and addictive platforms can affect everything from body image and attention to anxiety and low mood. But is an outright ban the answer? Ellie and Emily discuss whether children would simply find ways around restrictions, the danger of pushing social media use underground, and whether banning access could inadvertently make some online risks harder for parents to spot. They also tackle the bigger questions: Should tech companies be doing more? Are parents being expected to shoulder too much responsibility? What happens to teenagers who rely on online communities for connection? And if social media is off limits until 16, what magically changes on their 16th birthday? Most importantly, Dr Crosby shares practical advice for parents on creating healthier digital habits at home – whether a ban happens or not.

Your child should not have to become a different kind of learner just to prove that they can learn. Dr. Emily King is back on the podcast, this time to celebrate the release of her first book, The Neurodivergent Learner. Emily is a child psychologist, former school psychologist, and parent of two neurodivergent kids, so she has spent a lot of time on pretty much every side of the school-family-provider table. At the heart of the book is an idea I love: your child's path is the right path. Neurodivergent kids do not always develop or learn according to the timelines and expectations built into traditional school systems. And instead of spending all of our energy trying to squeeze the square peg into the round hole, Emily asks a much more useful question: Why does the hole have to be round? We talk about the difference between something that is truly disabling and something that is simply different. A movement, sound, learning style, or way of regulating may only become a problem because of the expectations of the room. That distinction matters because it changes what we try to fix and what we might need to accept, accommodate, or understand differently. Emily also gives us one of my favorite images from this conversation: strategies are the sprinkles on top. Before we start throwing visual schedules, sticker charts, scripts, and other strategies at a kid, we need a foundation. Does the child feel safe? Does the pace work for their brain? Are they interested and engaged? Is their nervous system actually available for learning? And safety is not determined by whether the adult looks around the classroom and thinks, "This seems perfectly lovely to me." The child's nervous system gets the deciding vote. We talk about the kids whose dysregulation is impossible to miss, but also the compliant, perfectionistic, people-pleasing kids who look great at school and completely unravel at home. That difference between environments does not mean the problem is not real. The difference itself may be the clue. This is where parents, teachers, and providers have to get curious together. What is working? Where is it working? When does the child run out of steam? What changes between doing math at 1:30 at school and trying to do more math at 4:30 at home? Sometimes the strategy really is deciding that this kid has done enough math today. Most importantly, Emily wants us to protect our kids' relationship with learning. School is one place to learn, but it is not the only place. Kids learn through their interests, activities, relationships, travel, cooking, stories, and all the other experiences that make them curious about the world. As I tell Emily in this episode, The Neurodivergent Learner feels like a giant permission slip to follow your child's signals, be the detective, and advocate collaboratively for what they need. Because learning does not have to look the same for every child. Neither does success. Key Takeaways Neurodivergent children do not always develop or learn according to traditional timelines, and success may mean following the child's developmental path rather than forcing the expected one. Some things about neurodivergence are differences, not problems. The challenge may come from the expectations of the environment rather than from the child themselves. Strategies are the "sprinkles on top." Before adding tools or interventions, adults need to look at foundational needs like sensory safety, relational safety, pacing, and engagement. Safety is determined by the child's nervous system, not by whether the adults in the room believe the environment should feel safe. Dysregulation is not always loud or disruptive. Perfectionism, people-pleasing, compliance, and holding everything together at school can also be signs that a child is struggling. A child who looks fine at school and falls apart at home is giving us important information. The difference between settings may help explain where their energy and coping capacity are being used up. When something is not working, parents, teachers, and providers need to stay curious together instead of dismissing the concern because it does not appear everywhere. Pacing matters. A child who is bored because learning is moving too slowly and a child who is overwhelmed because it is moving too quickly may both disengage for very different reasons. Protecting a child's lifelong relationship with learning matters more than forcing them through one particular academic path, especially when school has already become a source of stress or burnout. School is only one place where learning happens. Interests, relationships, extracurriculars, travel, cooking, and everyday experiences can all be meaningful ways neurodivergent kids build knowledge and skills.

Ankita Dhawan, Founder and Principal of Consilium Advisors and Technology Policy Advisors, explains how copying someone's work can get you in legal trouble. Family holidays are supposed to be the reward for months of work, school runs and relentless routine. But the person researching the hotel, packing the cases, remembering the medication, booking the activities and anticipating everybody’s needs may arrive already exhausted. Recent mental-health guidance warns that the gap between how we imagine a holiday should feel and how it actually unfolds can create stress, disappointment and resentment.

If your child is melting down, shutting down, refusing school, avoiding sleep, snapping back, or clinging to you because something feels “wrong” but they can't explain what, you're in the right place.I'm Dr Maryhan, a psychologist who works with anxious and dysregulated children every single day. And here's what I want you to know: most of the behaviours that keep you up at night aren't really about behaviour at all. Underneath the back‑chat, the tears, the slammed doors, the school‑morning battles, there is almost always anxiety, and a child whose emotional bucket is full and overflowing.And parents of those children? We zoom in so close, replaying conversations at 2am, questioning every decision, wondering if we're making it worse, that we lose the wide lens. The perspective that says: your child isn't broken... and neither are you.This podcast gives you that wide lens back.If you've ever felt overwhelmed, confused, or alone in your child's big feelings, then listen and follow wherever you get your podcasts.Pour yourself a cuppa, find a comfy seat, and let's do this together.

One expert has outlined the next steps for Tom Phillips' children to recover after four years of isolation. The manhunt for Phillips and the children came to an end yesterday, when police shot and killed him in rural Waikato. One of his children was found with him, and the other two were located at a campsite in dense bush. Child psychologist Sara Chatwin says for the children to feel secure, they need consistent care and unconditional love. "Pretty much none of which these kids have had for a long time. And I'm not just talking four years, but prior to that, there was obviously some dispute." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode of the DAM Parenting Podcast, host Eva sits down with our resident child psychologist Faye from Kerr Psychology to explore the often-overlooked sensory systems that shape a child's growth, learning, and emotional regulation.They break down proprioception, vestibular input, and the full range of sensory needs—helping parents understand why these systems matter and how they play a role in everyday routines, especially during times of transition (like starting school, returning after holidays, or getting back into structure).Faye explains how these sensory experiences support a child's ability to self-regulate emotions, focus, and feel calm in their bodies—and why parents don't always need to overthink it, as many everyday activities naturally provide these supports.What proprioceptive and vestibular inputs are, and why they're key to your child's development.How sensory needs connect to emotional regulation and routine adjustments.Real-life, easy examples of sensory activities you can build into daily life:Proprioceptive experiences – lifting and carrying (books, bags, buckets), pushing/pulling (wheelbarrow, stroller, vacuum, rakes), climbing monkey bars, or resistance play.Pressure & movement – big bear hugs, pouring activities, rough-and-tumble play, trampolining, soft play, running, jumping, climbing, and bouncing.Oral sensory activities – chewing, blowing bubbles, and more.Why it's all about trial and error—finding what works for your child's unique sensory profile.Middletown Centre for Autism – Sensory Processing InformationIf this episode helps you better understand your child's sensory needs, subscribe and follow the podcast so you don't miss future episodes in this mini-series.

Today on Webworm I wanted you to share a conversation between two New Zealanders raised by parents who embraced Focus on the Family. Because Focus on the Family travelled far beyond America. It went global — and during the 80s and 90s in particular, millions of kids were raised in the ways of Dr James Dobson. Michael Frost and Shane Meyer-Holt are my friends, and run a podcast called In The Shift, in which they discuss coming to terms with exiting a very certain breed of Christianity. They are still Christians, just not the breed you find at the churches I tend to write about. Hearing them discuss Focus on the Family was fascinating to me, and I hope it's fascinating to you, too. Something Michael said towards the end really hit me like a tonne of bricks. He talked about what it meant to grow a generation of compliant kids. At what that means when a country like America comes under the leadership of Donald Trump — a man who professes to be a Christian. This is a public episode.

We live in a society where success is often defined by external markers like prestigious jobs, academic achievements, or traditional milestones. But as parents of neurodivergent kids, we know our children's paths and timelines often look different. And while their journeys may not align with conventional notions of success, that doesn't mean they're any less meaningful or valuable. So, how can we redefine what success means—for our kids and for our families? That's one of the big questions I explore with today's guest, child psychologist Dr. Emily King. In our conversation, Dr. Emily and I dive into redefining success for neurodivergent students, emphasizing the importance of joy, self-discovery, and effectiveness in their learning journeys. We explore how cultural definitions of success can be limiting, what's happening in American public schools regarding neurodivergence, and the actionable steps we can take to help shift the paradigm. Most importantly, we talk about how to reframe “success” in our families in ways that empower our children to build autonomous, self-actualized lives on their terms.   About Dr. Emily King Dr. Emily King is a Child Psychologist and former School Psychologist who has worked with neurodivergent children and teens for over 20 years. She received a Ph.D. in School Psychology from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill where she worked at Frank Porter Graham Child Development Institute and the Carolina Institute for Developmental Disabilities. She spent five years as a School Psychologist in Houston, Texas specializing in providing school-based mental health services in K-12 public schools. Dr. Emily now works in private practice in North Carolina supporting the mental health needs of neurodivergent youth, their families, and their teachers.

Dr Billy Garvey gets kids. A developmental and behavioural paediatrician with over twenty years experience, Billy is an expert at up-skilling kids with the fundamental skills of empathy, kindness, compassion and self-esteem. Due to the extremely high demand for his expertise (the clinic waiting list is most likely seven years long at this point), Billy decided to co-produce his own podcast ‘Pop-Culture Parenting', and has also just released a book Ten Things I Wish You Knew About Your Child's Mental Health. In this Academy, Billy gets into the nitty gritty about masculinity, role modelling and teaching emotional regulation to kids, especially young boys (we even talk about porn). Extremely generous in sharing his own story, Billy reveals the purpose behind his clinic, and how he finds immense privilege in being here to do the work that he does (you're going to need tissues).

Are you curious about the psychology behind your child's actions? Tune in as my guest, Dr. Tasha Brown shares her insights and expert notes. Click here for the show notes and more from Jeanne-Marie, Your Parenting Mentor. When working with parents or, as apparent myself, I often wonder if this situation warrants seeking the advice of a professional psychologist. Today, Dr. Tasha Brown helps us clarify when it is essential to seek them out.  What We Talked About: How to know when you and your child need to meet with a psychologist Dr. Tasha's Parent Management Training The difference between Labeled intentional praise and unlabeled praise. Positive reinforcement and "cool down" spaces instead of punitive “timeouts.”  Age-appropriate expectations for children Early signs of depression in adolescent girls and how to support them Things to Remember: “When you work with children, you're not just working with an individual. You're working with a family.” “We know that the more attention we give to certain behaviors, the more we see them, even if they're negative.” “When it's important to the family's well-being that the child listens right away, we teach parents how to make appropriate requests of their children.” “Set the expectations but also manage your expectations.” “When children have what we call ‘protective factors,' it decreases their likelihood of anxiety and depression as adolescents.” “Children are not born with the language they need to express their BIG emotions. The adults in their lives model and teach them how to communicate effectively.” ― Dr. Tasha Brown For Show Notes and more from Jeanne-Marie, click HERE

EPISODE 31: This week, we're diving into a topic that keeps popping up in our community, and it's a two-part issue.Firstly, some parents are puzzled about how to help their kids at school as they come home on Fridays exhausted and frustrated, or they flat out refuse to go to school, claiming it's just too stressful. Even when they do go, they return home stressed and unwilling to do homework.Teachers are noticing these struggles, too. Kids aren't turning in their work, not keeping up, with or without IEPs. It feels like we can't quite meet our kids' needs at school.But there's another side to this coin. Some parents are pushing for their children to catch up, achieve, and be successful in school. That's something schools want, too - kids to be in class every day so they fit in with their peers.However, what often gets overlooked is whether the kids feel safe at school.I feel like this is such an important conversation, so in this episode, I've brought on an expert who does this all day, every day.Meet Dr. Emily King, a Child Psychologist and former School Psychologist who has two decades of experience working closely with neurodivergent kids and teens.She received her Ph.D. in School Psychology from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and is well-versed in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, DIR/Floortime, Conscious Discipline, and Social Thinking methodologies.Dr. Emily is also the founder of Learn with Dr. Emily™ where she shares online resources related to raising and educating neurodivergent youth. She specializes in providing therapy and consultation services for children diagnosed with autism, anxiety, ADHD, depression, and learning difficulties.She is passionate about empowering parents and teachers to take care of themselves so they can become the supportive adults that every neurodivergent child needs in their life. Join us for this interview, where we'll be discussing the hurdles neurodivergent kids face in school, the gap between expectations and support, the impact of anxiety on learning, and the importance of collaboration between parents and teachers.It's a conversation you really don't want to miss out on!Tune in now!Key Takeaways:Intro (00:00)Who is Dr. Emily King (02:34)Misconceptions about meeting the needs of neurodivergent children (05:37)The importance of communication between teachers and parents (11:39)The mismatch between child's abilities and school expectations (17:29)Dr. Emily's takeaway for educators and parents (23:58)The first step towards teamwork in helping kids (26:22)Sources for Dr. Emily's kid and teacher support strategies (28:52)Additional resources:

On this week's episode of Real Work, Real Life, I'm talking with Samantha, a board certified music therapist. Music therapy is not as common as many other therapies you might be familiar with, there are only a few thousand certified therapists in the US. If you're not familiar with it, I found more information on the American Music Therapy website: Music Therapy is the clinical & evidence-based use of music interventions to accomplish individualized goals within a therapeutic relationship, it can help clients do things like manage stress and pain, express feelings, improve communication. So if something in the therapy field interests you, and you also love music, this could be a path to consider. That said, there are some challenges in the field. Despite plenty of demand for this service, pay can be relatively low for the level of education and certification required, and like many other therapy fields, an unpaid internship is required. Services can be reimbursed through Medicaid but not typically private insurance, so the people who have access to this care is impacted by that.We also talk a lot about the highs and lows of owning your own business, as well as Samantha's side projects that are related to this work. That in itself is something to think about in your career choices. Many people want or need variety in their working hours or multiple streams of income. So when you think about a specific career path, you don't necessarily have to be bound by the hours and pay of that one role full time, so many people find themselves kind of piecing together lots of things to create the life they really want. It's certainly not for everyone, but it might be for you. The more people I speak with the more I find that the absolute key to finding work that fits into a joyful life is truly knowing yourself, what brings you joy, what causes misery, outside of the social expectations of what you *should* like and dislike, and finding the work that fits into that vision as well as your individual circumstances allow. The sooner you are able to know yourself like that, the happier you'll be. So let's get into it!More about Music Therapy: https://www.musictherapy.org/Links to learn more about Samantha's work:www.boisemusictherapycompany.comwww.instagram.com/boisemusictherapywww.instagram.com/everybrainisdifferentTwo other episodes to check out if you liked this one:Child Psychologist: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/child-psychologist/id1673653251?i=1000612471128Therapist in Private Practice: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/therapist-private-practice/id1673653251?i=1000619359028If you like the show, please rate and review on iTunes and Spotify  (linked below) and please share with a friend!
