When your kid has ADHD - with developmental paediatrician Dr Billy Garvey

Dr Billy Garvey is a developmental paediatrician, a senior specialist at one of Australia’s largest tertiary paediatric hospitals, and a dad to a three-year-old and a one-year-old.

Billy spends a lot of time working with neurodivergent children and their parents, and is one of our most favourite KICBUMP parents so we HAD to get him in for this miniseries! 

In this episode, Billy & Steph speak about how ADHD presents in children and how parents can best support a child who has ADHD: what age children start displaying symptoms, seeking a diagnosis, how likely it is that ADHD parents will pass it on to their children, and most importantly, why that's not a bad thing.
