In this insightful episode of Dr Dad Talks Parenting, we explore the fascinating and often misunderstood world of child and adolescent mental health. From Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) to ADHD, and the growing impact of screen time and social media, Dr. Dad breaks down complex science into simple, compassionate parenting insights.

Learn why autism is a difference, not a disease, how ADHD is rooted in neurobiology and genetics, and why structure, empathy, and early support can make all the difference in a child’s journey. We also uncover how excessive screen exposure can affect mood, attention, and sleep — and what parents can do to build healthier tech habits at home.

Whether you’re a parent, teacher, or healthcare professional, this episode offers evidence-based advice, relatable stories, and practical steps to help every child thrive — academically, emotionally, and socially.
