E1498 - The Hidden Cost of Labels and What Kids Really Need Instead [with Sami Timimi].
Dr. Sami Timimi offers a vital and brave critique of the 'industrialisation' of child mental health, warning parents against the urge to hunt for deficits and labels. However, the impact of his message is completely derailed by the inclusion of advertisements for Early Start Australia. It is jarring to hear a guest explain why early medicalisation can be harmful, only to have the host pause the conversation t... more
It’s well known in the industry that no one likes this guy. Justin stop trying to grift off our kids and just spend more time looking at yourself in the mirror.
Just because you are a doctor and have six children, it doesn’t mean that you know everything about parenting. ADHD is a real, lifelong disability. And the reason that so many accomplished & high functioning people are seeking referrals and help later in life is because they have been suffering for decades- real suffering!! And yes these are fit, healthy people with proper diets. Medication is not the only solution, it’s one option in a toolkit. Medications for conditions like ADHD or depression... more
I have listened to the podcast from the beginning and don’t
think I have missed an episode. The Coulsons are brilliant parenting role models, with sensible science-backed advice paired with vulnerability and real life experiences and discussions. Keeping the episodes short means you can listen each day without being overwhelmed trying to fit in lengthy discussions. Hugely relatable and I love the focus on reducing screen time.

Thank you for reminding me that saying no is okay, As a mum of a 14 year old without a mobile phone and an 11 year old not on Roblox, I am reminded at times that I’m the “world’s worst mum”. But listening to your podcast over the years, and having had the joy of meeting you in person, Justin has given me the strength to remember why I say no. Some days the battles are hard, and I don’t feel like the ally my kids want but I will always stand strong as the mum they NEED!
