Nearly one child in seven in the US is diagnosed with ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder). Are some youngsters being labeled with a mental illness when they are actually just being kids? We speak with a psychologist who has seen such cases and a pediatrician who offers us advice on how we can help keep our kids healthy following the classic ideal: healthy minds in healthy bodies.
With ever-present video games, fast-food diets and few opportunities to play outside, parents today may find it harder than ever to offer healthy minds in healthy bodies to today’s children. Find out how it is possible.
Guests: Enrico Gnaulati, PhD, is a clinical psychologist with more than twenty-five years of experience providing psychotherapy to children and families. He practices in Pasadena, CA, and has written Back to Normal: Why Ordinary Childhood Behavior Is Mistake for ADHD, Bipolar Disorder, and Autism Spectrum Disorder.
