When a child is experiencing challenges with attention, learning, behavior, emotion regulation, or social functioning, understanding the underlying factors can be an important first step toward meaningful support.

Psychological testing provides a comprehensive look at a child's cognitive, emotional, behavioral, and developmental functioning and is designed to understand each child's unique strengths and needs.

Comprehensive evaluations can help:

-Clarify concerns related to learning, attention, or development
-Identify emotional or behavioral factors affecting daily functioning
-Provide recommendations tailored to your child's individual needs
-Support parents, educators, and other professionals in developing effective strategies/interventions
-Help children better understand and navigate their experiences

With the right information, families can move from uncertainty to a clearer understanding of how to help their child thrive.

So grateful to have been a panelist tonight at Christ Church CS discussing technology and its impact on children and families.

Biggest takeaways:

1) Our children watch us! Practice modeling healthy and responsible tech use.

2) Pay attention to your child and how they are using technology. Notice who they are following, what content they are engaging with, and how they are spending most of their time.

3) Talk to your child about technology use. Come up with a plan for the whole family to follow! The American Academy of Pediatrics has a great resource for families to use to come up with a plan at home: https://www.healthychildren.org/English/fmp/Pages/MediaPlan.aspx

4. If you are concerned with how your child uses technology and unsure of how to proceed, talk to your child's doctor or a mental health professional for guidance.

One of the biggest gaps in perinatal mental health is that we rarely ask fathers how they are doing.

We know that becoming a parent is a huge transition. Even when everything goes according to plan, mothers are increasingly screened for depression and other mental health concerns during and after delivery.

Routine mental health screening for fathers, though? Far less likely, and sometimes, non-existent.

Did you know that some research has suggested that around 67% of couples report a drop in relationship satisfaction that can sometimes last up to 3 years? Furthermore, 1 in 5 mothers and 1 in 10 fathers experience postpartum depression or anxiety.

This is not even taking into account when a NICU admission occurs. When NICU is involved, studies have suggested that 20-40% of parents report experiencing depression or anxiety. One study even suggests that parents who have experienced a NICU admission have a 74% higher risk of mood disorders, which can lead to negative outcomes such as relationship conflict, difficulties with parent-child relationship, or divorce.

Supporting fathers does not take away from supporting mothers. I argue that identifying mental health concerns for both parents should be the standard of care. We cannot continue treating paternal mental health as optional while expecting families to thrive. Screening, support, and evidence-based intervention should be routine for both parents. Healthy families begin with healthy parents.

Let's face it - social media has become a huge part of our children's lives.

Social media can have both positive and negative effects on your child and does not impact every child the same.

If you are trying to determine how social media is impacting your child, ask yourself these questions:

1) How much time is my child spending on social media?
2) What kind of content is my child experiencing or consuming?
3) How mature is my child or are there any mental health concerns occurring?
4) Is my child's daily life/academic/social functioning impacted?
5) Is it leading my child to believe things that are incorrect or leading my child to form incorrect negative beliefs about others' lives or bodies?

Starting these conversations can help you understand how social media may be impacting your child.

Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACES) are negative events that we experience in childhood that may impact how we experience our lives as adults.

Studies have shown that as the number of ACES we have increases, so does the risk of negative outcomes.

Some examples of negative outcomes include higher risk of developing:

Chronic Health Conditions
Mental Health Conditions and Substance Use Disorders
Health Risk Behaviors

The impact and interactions we have with children MATTER.

Often times, giving warnings to your child before using a consequence can help them engage in an appropriate response.

But how many of you have noticed that when you give your child multiple warnings, nothing seems to change?

Here is a warning about using warnings: If we give warnings with no follow through, children notice. Children are smart and quickly learn that the first, second, or even third warnings often do not count if we are inconsistent. A child will quickly learn that they only need to listen when you are at your limit and that a consequence is near.

The most common example I give parents is the counting method. Many parents use the counting method (i.e., counting to three before a consequence is given) to help warn their child that a consequence is near. When the counting starts, many children learn that they do not actually have to respond to the counting until their parent reaches the number 3.

Parenting Tip: Instead of using multiple warnings, give a simple, clear instruction. If your child does not follow through, give a calm, neutral warning. Once you have given a warning, and nothing has changed, follow through with a planned consequence consistently.

When we are consistent, our children learn that our words (and our warnings) have meaning and that we are predictable. Discipline is not about being harsh - it is often about being calm, clear, and consistent.
