À propos de cet audio

 Clinical neuropsychologist and learning disorder expert Dr. Katie Davis offers a new, illuminating approach to child development, helping you to support your child through their challenges—without leaping to a diagnosis.

As parents, we want nothing more than our child to thrive in each stage of development. Seeing them struggle in that process can be difficult, but sometimes, it’s normal. After years of research, Dr. Davis suggests that a diagnosis isn’t always the answer helping our kids keep up with the curve.

Actually, You’re Fine is a compassionate guide to childhood development that reveals anxiety is natural when it comes to tracking your child’s development. Our instinct, when we notice a child struggling, is often to search for a label—to assume that difficulty must signal a disorder. But the rush to pathologize can be harmful for both parents and kids for a range of reasons, from unnecessary medication to misallocation of resources. Rather than feeling capable and ready to take on life’s challenges, children can feel that their challenges are unacceptable and taboo. Overdiagnosis can also stigmatize kids who are genuinely struggling.

With actionable insights, Dr. Davis empowers you to advocate for your children at school, and foster their development at home. You’ll learn:
  • How diagnoses are achieved—and what they actually mean
  • Critical information about emergent diagnoses that aren’t actually codified—and why this trend can do more harm than good
  • The difference between symptoms and diagnoses
  • Reasons why your child might be struggling in school, and interventions to help improve their functioning
  • How to accurately identify when more support is necessary and navigate the institutions that can provide it
  • The various interconnected challenges children can have—cognitive, social, and emotional
  • An accessible, realistic approach to maximizing your child’s potential in a world of overachievement

Actually, You’re Fine offers clear-eyed and empathetic guidance to help parents, caregivers, and educators watch your kids succeed without pathologizing them—while still being able to recognize if a child does need an intervention.
