Description

If you’ve ever wondered why your kid melts down over the wrong color cup—or why your teen can’t remember to turn in their homework but can recite TikToks from two years ago—this episode is for you.

Dr. Ann-Louise Lockhart is a nationally respected pediatric psychologist, parent coach, speaker, and author of the upcoming book Love the Teen You Have. She helps overwhelmed parents raise emotionally healthy kids without losing their minds in the process. She's been featured in Parents Magazine, Good Housekeeping and The Today Show—and she’s breaking it all down in a way that finally makes sense.

In this conversation, we cover:

  • What it actually means to be your family’s “frontal lobe”—and how to stop doing that

  • Why so many kids are struggling with executive function (and what you can do starting today)

  • How ADHD symptoms show up differently in girls—and why so many go undiagnosed for years

  • When anxiety hides in the body (spoiler: it often looks like tummy aches, headaches, or even constipation)

This episode will make you feel seen, equipped, and hopeful. It’s not about parenting perfectly—it’s about understanding what’s really going on and how to support your child (and yourself) in the mess of it all.
