Join us in an enlightening conversation with Dr. Jaffe, a board-certified child and adolescent psychiatrist at Mount Sinai Hospital. Dr. Jaffe discusses the complexities of diagnosing and treating ADHD and anxiety in children, the importance of parental intuition, and when to seek professional help. He also addresses medication and when and why medication may be the best option. We also discuss the impact of environmental and genetic factors, and strategies for fostering resilience and healthy habits.

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Alison Wood Brooks, Harvard Business School professor and author of Talk: The Science of Social Connection. We explore how parents can help their kids—whether they’re naturally chatty or more reserved—develop essential communication skills to thrive socially and emotionally. Alison shares practical tools for reframing anxiety, fostering meaningful connections, and using humor and warmth to navigate even the toughest conversations. Whether you’re raising an anxious kid, a quiet observer, or a social butterfly, this episode is packed with insights to help your child—and maybe even yourself—feel more confident and connected.
