Description

Welcome to "My Mighty Quinn”, the introductory podcast series that finally sheds light and clarity on the mysteries behind our beautiful children's learning, attention, behaviour and developmental challenges.
 
I'm Lucia Silver, your host, and above all, the devoted and proud mother to the Mighty Quinn. Join me on this extraordinary journey as I share the fruits of five years of tireless searching and research to find scientific explanations, answers and meaningful help for my son. 
 
In a world where the educational, SEN, paediatric and other experts leave us feeling unsupported, with contradictory information, and countless unanswered questions, I discovered a ground-breaking drug-free approach within neuroscience. This method has led to a radical transformation in countless children with Quinn himself transforming from a "Life of Tics, Turbulence, Distractedness, and Disconnection to Calm, Confident, Coordinated, and Connected." 
 
Prepare to meet the brilliance of the individuals and organisations that I first encountered, as well as trailblazing pioneers in neuroscience and child brain development from the US. Together we will explore how they are tackling and addressing the root causes behind symptoms like ADHD, Autism, Tourette's, Tics, Dyslexia and other neurological disorders.

Throughout "My Mighty Quinn," we'll engage in captivating interviews, gain expert insights, and be inspired by heart-warming success stories, that will empower and inspire parents, caregivers, and families facing similar challenges.
