Ep. 34 American Parenting: Why It’s So Hard—But Doesn’t Have to Be! Dr. Leonard Sax, Part 2

Raising emotionally healthy kids is no easy task and according to Dr. Leonard Sax, it’s infinitely more difficult for American parents compared to parents in Western Europe. In part 2 of my interview with psychologist, physician, and author, Dr. Leonard Sax we discover:

• Why American kids are exponentially more likely to be diagnosed with a mental illness than kids in Western Europe.
• The brain damage that occurs from ADHD medications.
• Sleep deprivation and how it affects kids’ cognition and motivation.
• Why adult ADHD recently became a “thing” and why it’s not a legitimate diagnosis.
• How boys and girls interact with social media differently and the impact on their emotional development.

Dr. Sax provides research-based strategies for raising happy and successful kids in the midst of the collapse of American parenting.
