Descripción

Of all the nutritional strategies researched in relation to ADHD, omega-3 fatty acids have the strongest and most consistent evidence behind them. In today's episode Mon breaks down exactly what omega-3s do in the ADHD brain, what the research says about food versus supplements, and how to actually build this habit with a child who would rather do anything than swallow fish oil. She also shares how it really looks in her own house, chocolate chips and all. If you have been wondering whether omega-3s are worth it, hit play. The answer might surprise you.

What Be Everything You Are! really means

This episode is about the belief that sits underneath everything at BEYA. Children living with ADHD are more likely to carry lower self-esteem into adulthood without the right support early. Mon shares what the research says about strengths-based approaches, and what be everything you are really means. Science references: Harpin, V., Mazzone, L., Raynaud, J.P., Kahle, J., & Hodgkins, P.

Heavy work and why it calms the ADHD brain

Carrying, pushing, pulling, lifting. Heavy work might be the simplest and most underused movement strategy for children living with ADHD. In this episode, Mon explains the body's sensory awareness system in plain language, shares what she has seen firsthand through a school heavy work program, and gives practical everyday examples any family can build into their daily routine.
