Kids & Concussions: What Every Parent Needs to Know
from The Mindful Mic
In this episode of The Mindful Mic, hosts Colbi Twiss and Grace Shimatsu sit down with the Children's Home psychologist Leah Gallant to talk about something every parent should understand — concussions. While often associated with sports, concussions can happen in everyday situations like bike rides, playground accidents, or even a simple fall at home. Leah shares her expertise on how to recognize the signs, what to do if your child experiences a head injury, and how to support proper recovery. We also discuss common misconceptions, when to seek professional help, and why early awareness can make a lasting difference in a child’s health and development. Whether your child is an athlete or just being a kid, this is an important conversation for every parent and caregiver. Children’s Home Counseling Services provides accessible, affordable mental health care for children and families across Idaho, regardless of ability to pay. www. childrenshomeidaho.org
