In this episode, developmental pediatrician and mindfulness expert Dr. Mark Bertin joins us to unpack the real reasons so many girls with ADHD are missed—especially those with inattentive symptoms.

We explore:
🧠 Why girls often go undiagnosed until later
📘 How executive function delays show up in everyday life
😟 The overlap between anxiety and ADHD
💊 Medication myths and what families really need to know
🧘‍♀️ How mindfulness can support both kids and parents

Dr. Bertin offers clear, compassionate insights for parents, educators, and anyone wanting a deeper understanding of ADHD in girls—and why early awareness changes everything.
