SUMMARY

Here’s an obvious news flash: parenting is the best of times and the worst of times, sometimes at the same time. Parenting children with challenges like ADHD or suspected ADHD can leave you feeling confused and overwhelmed. Figuring out where to get help and who you need in your corner can be a little tricky. We’ve been there, and we’ve got you covered! In this episode, we chat with Dr. Kelly Fradin about the pediatrician's role in ADHD Diagnosis and Care.

MEET DR. KELLY FRADIN

Kelly Fradin is the Director of Pediatrics at the Atria Institute in NYC, where she works with leading experts to bring innovations in preventive care to their members and underserved populations. During her time working in public health in the South Bronx, she launched her Instagram account @adviceigivemyfriends to provide calm, realistic, and evidence-based advice to families. Pursuing this mission, she wrote Parenting in a Pandemic to help give parents the tools they needed to interpret the news and support their families during the pandemic's peak. Her new book, Advanced Parenting, seeks to support parents in navigating their children’s challenges.
