While we take a summer breather, we're revisiting one of our most-loved episodes from earlier this year...
Ever been labelled 'difficult'? Or watched a child dismissed as the 'naughty one'?
In this episode, Chris is joined by Louise Belshaw, The ADHD Teacher, to challenge the misconceptions surrounding ADHD and how they affect children's safeguarding.
They explore why behaviour is often misunderstood, why girls with ADHD are frequently overlooked, and what's really happening when a child excels in one class but unravels in another.
Whether you're a teacher, parent, or DSL, this conversation will make you rethink how we protect and understand children with ADHD.
