A holistic alternative for kids with ADHD, anxiety & other mental health issues

This week I chat to Dr Natalie Challis (B.Bus (HRM/Psych), D(Couns), QEEGD, MISNR, MACA, MANSA) who shares her pearls of wisdom into how she supports children with mental health issues 'holistically'. Natalie tells us how she founded the Kids Development Centre to deliver holistic treatment and support for children struggling with learning, developmental and mental health challenges. Her experience of combining the best of conventional and complementary therapies enables her to tailor treatment plans for each individual child to achieve the best possible outcome. Natalie has created a team of passionate and professional individuals within the Kids Development Centre to deliver the best possible treatment designed to support a growing child to be able to reach their full potential. Natalie is constantly adding to her knowledge base through mentoring and study with some of the best in this field in the world. She has recently completed studies resulting in her becoming a board certified Diplomate in QEEG. You don't want to miss the week's podcast; it's fascinating and enlightening! Susy xo

The Positive ADHD child (from the mouth of babes)

This week in my first ever podcast (can I get a whoop whoop); I interview my daughter Seren who is ten years old. Seren was diagnosed with ADHD, anxiety and oppositional defiance disorder three years ago. Since then she has come on leaps and bounds, and we are so proud of her! I have ADHD too, so in our house, ADHD is a positive thing (although still challenging at times), but we are learning more each day to live, love & laugh with the craziness! In this week's podcast Seren talks about hyper-focusing on lego instead of television, writing her book, finding crystals on the beach and drawing aliens! I hope you like it! Love & Light Susy xo

Positively Parenting a child with ADHD (by an ADHD Dad)

Hey guys! I'm so excited to share this week's podcast with you! Today I talk to my husband and partner of 18 years, Karl, as he shares the highs and lows of parenting a child with ADHD. Karl is open, honest and shares the hardships, difficulties and pain points of parenting a daughter with ADHD. He also shares how he turned everything around and began to finally have a beautiful, loving connection with Seren. I am so grateful to Karl, for deciding with me three years ago to throw all the parenting advice out of the window and to lead with love. We recorded this as a Facebook and Instagram live, and alot of the questions were coming through from parents during the interview. A big shout out to all the ADHD dads too!! You got this! Susy xo
