“Excessive gamming and social media use actually triggers our brain’s reward system, pretty much like we were playing the pokies” – Chelle Taylor Child Psychologist. Chelle Taylor is co-founder and co-owner of Blossomtree Psychology Ballarat.  We discuss everything from what a child psychologist actually does, to the role of parents and caregivers and we take a deep dive into screentime and the effects on kids.

We discuss: - How seriously is CPTSD (Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder or Childhood Trauma) is taken by the medical profession. - How childhood trauma wires the brain differently. - Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) study and the affects of trauma later in life. - Trauma and anxiety - How trauma can go undiagnosed in kids. - Is trauma only caused by physical or sexual abuse? - How can parents and teachers be more trauma informed?

Talking about the emotional wellbeing of kids is close to my heart and that’s why I wanted to chat with WA kid’s author Kitty Black.  Kitty released two books in 2021 that discuss feelings and emotions, ‘Follow Your Feelings - Lucy and Sad’ and ‘Follow Your Feelings - Max and Worry’.  For resources to help getting your kids talking about emotions head to www.joshlangley.com.au
