Blockbuster interview! This week I was honoured to interview Prof. Stephen Scott, CBE – on everything you ever needed to know about parenting. In my own book ‘Single, and too tired to mingle’, I write and research parenting quite extensively – and my chat with Stephen will hopefully help any parent struggling with their offspring. Prof. Stephen Scott is a Consultant Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist. That means he is trained as a medical doctor (not a clinical psychologist) who specialises in assessing and treating the mental health and wellbeing of children and teenagers. Prof. Scott’s Teaching Hospital Consultant Appointment is at the Maudsley Hospital, London; He is also Professor of Child Health and Behaviour at Institute of Psychiatry, King’s College London. The Maudsley Hospital and the Institute of Psychiatry are closely interlinked and combine to form perhaps the leading centre in Europe for the understanding and treatment of psychiatric and psychological problems. Stephen Scott has always been interested in both the physical and mental aspects of children and families. After a full degree in Psychology, he trained in medicine at the Royal London Hospital and Cambridge University, where he won a science prize and the psychiatry prize. He then worked as a Paediatrician for five years at a number of hospitals, including the Royal Brompton and Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children. Having got a good understanding of children’s medical problems, prof. Scott decided to widen his expertise by training in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at the Maudsley Hospital, including four years as clinical lecturer with Professor Sir Michael Rutter FRS and Professor Eric Taylor. Prof. Scott is the author of the leading introductory textbook Child Psychiatry, (published by Blackwell, with Professor Robert Goodman, 3rd edition 2012). He also publishes scholarly articles on the findings of his research on how best to treat children. #parenting #ADHD #Depression #mood disorders #Anxiety #Autisticspectrumdisorders #Antisocialbehavior #Obsessivecompulsivedisorder #Familyproblems #Adoption #fostering #tuesdaytalks

Professor James Brown is a Director of JBHD Ltd, and an Associate Professor in Biosciences at Aston University in the UK. He has a significant presence in the field of ADHD, especially for adults, and has become a well-known figure due to his extensive work and personal experiences with ADHD. James was diagnosed with ADHD in February 2021, after being aware of living with it for about five years. #adhd stands for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. People with ADHD have lots of energy and they can have difficulty concentrating. It can be hard for people with ADHD to control what they say and do – this can mean that they do things and speak impulsively (when you act or speak without thinking it through first). Symptoms of ADHD can start early in life. People with ADHD might struggle in their personal lives and they can experience difficulties in relationships with friends and family. ADHD is heritable disorder (this means that parents can pass it on to their children through their genes and DNA), so ADHD often runs in families. People with ADHD might find it helpful to speak to their family and share experiences. Signs: Finding it hard to pay attention and concentrate Being easily distracted Daydreaming a lot Having overactive thinking Finding it hard to organise yourself and your things Often acting quickly before thinking about it first because you’re impulsive or your mood is unstable Being physically over-active Feeling restless or fidgety James Brown is notably active in several ADHD-related initiatives. James is a co-founder of #ADHDadultUK, a registered UK charity focused on supporting #adultsADHD. He also co-founded Focusmag.uk, an evidence-based online magazine, and The ADHD Adults Podcast, which discusses issues related to adult ADHD, while sharing evidence-based information and personal experiences. In addition to these roles, James is also an author, public speaker, consultant, science communicator, and ADHD coach. His contributions to the field extend to writing on health-related matters, with a notable readership, including over 2.3 million reads on The Conversation, a platform for academic and research community contributions. Through his various roles and platforms, James actively contributes to raising awareness, providing support, and offering educational resources about ADHD, particularly for adults. JBHD Ltd provides services for the adult ADHD community and organisations. Services include individual ADHD coaching, couples ADHD coaching, public talks on ADHD, institutional training on ADHD, and advice and support for various organisations, including the media, the NHS, government bodies, and companies. #adhd #adhdadults #adhddiagnosis #livingwithadhd

Tuesday talks with ‪@CoCoNovak‬ and Rohan Mer - an expert in cyber security.Rohan talks about the fact that 40% of all fraud in the UK are scams. In the UK, common scams include #Phishing emails, #InvestmentFraud, #OnlineShoppingScams, and #RomanceScams. Phishing involves deceptive emails that mimic legitimate organizations to steal personal information. Investment fraud promises high returns but often leads to significant losses. Online shopping scams trick consumers into paying for goods that never arrive. Romance scams exploit emotional vulnerabilities, leading to financial loss. To avoid these scams, always verify the sender's email, use secure payment methods, research investment opportunities, and be cautious about sharing personal information online. Report suspicious activities to #ActionFraud and stay informed about the latest scams to protect yourself. #ScamAwareness #FraudPrevention #tuesdaytalks #romance #romanceanime

Trey Pratt: Overcoming Adversity Through Jiu-Jitsu Domestic violence, abuse, and neglect dominated Trey Pratt's childhood. At one point, he ran away for 18 months, and no one came looking for him. His mother feared that if she filed a missing persons report, authorities might take away her other two children. Feeling hopeless and not expecting to live past 30, Trey had given up on life. However, his destiny took a turn when he started listening to "The Joe Rogan Experience." Joe Rogan, a well-known advocate for Jiu-Jitsu, has inspired many to join the martial art. Initially, Trey didn’t give it much thought, but fate had other plans. After driving past a Jiu-Jitsu gym on his way to work for six months, he finally decided to take a class. The rest, as they say, is history. He fell in love with the discipline, began training kids, and they quickly became fond of him. For the first time, he saw a future beyond 30, envisioned opening his own studio, and achieved that dream. Earning a Jiu-Jitsu black belt is notoriously challenging, but Trey accomplished that as well. Listen to his story and be inspired to move forward with your life and pursue something you’ve been longing to start. #Inspiration #JiuJitsuJourney #OvercomingAdversity #JoeRoganExperience #MartialArtsLife #NeverGiveUp #FromStruggleToSuccess #BlackBeltJourney #EmpowermentThroughMartialArts #LifeTransformation

Tuesday Talks with fashion designer Hector Maclean. "Hector Maclean’s journey is a testament to resilience and self-belief. Growing up in a faith-filled home, with a Buddhist mother who faced fertility struggles, his own life began against the odds. Bullied for being different, Hector first sought success to prove others wrong. But in time, he discovered that true validation comes from within. His triumph over dyslexia, even in moments like spelling 'Vivienne Westwood' wrong in a cover letter, didn’t hold him back—he got hired anyway. Now, recognized by Forbes as a '30 under 30' designer, Hector is poised to make waves in fashion, driven by his own vision and self-love."

Tuesday Talks with Liz Brewer - an enchanting and highly successful businesswoman with endless amounts of energy! My last interviewee in Season 1. Thank you, Liz! Liz Brewer walks us through her life adventures, from being a debutante in high society and networking daily, to deciding not to be just 'someone's wife.' She gave up the comfortable lifestyle she could have had to flee to Portugal and open a discotheque. The venture was hugely successful, so much so that the landlord pulled the electricity as the crowd was too large. Moving to London, she continued her career and worked with highly successful and famous clients. She shares some of these events and acknowledges that to move ahead, we also need the right connections. Relationships are everything. Her impression of Ivana Trump is unparalleled :) Not many women get engaged six times!! Liz managed that and in the end, marries the Lion man himself, John Rendall. She walks us through how they met as well as not ever receiving a ring from him, as he deemed her unreliable when rigs are at play. Their daughter Tallulah Rendall was also my guest, a family affair.

Tuesday Talks with Justin Rhoades - Today we’ll be talking about crime, the legal system, and relationships that go wrong for youths and people who turn to crime. Does crime pay? How do prosecutors think, and what happens when you get caught? How do personal relationships deteriorate? Why are the police and the whole justice system slow and blurry around the edges? Justin believes that, despite these issues, the heart of the system works. The United States Attorney’s Office for the Central District of California serves seven counties, including Los Angeles. It covers nearly 20 million people, and by population, is the largest of the 94 judicial districts in the U.S. Justin Rhoades worked as an Assistant United States Attorney, which is a federal prosecutor who works for the US Attorney, who is appointed by the President. #legal#relationshipbuilding#relationship#crime#prosecutor#losangeles#attorney#bordercontrol#crimeprevention#bankrobbery#legaladvice‪@USACE90017‬‪@ladbx‬‪@CoCoNovak‬

Join us for a real and fun conversation about adolescence. How do we manage ourselves and our growing children?

Let's remember we were once young too. Dr. Coco Novak writes about this stage in her and her children's lives in her book Single, and Too Tired to Mingle.

Tuesday Talks features Rachel Seymour who is a psychosexual and relationship therapist. Rachel works with people from all backgrounds and walks of life, although she most often works with clients who fall into the category of gender, sexuality or relationship diverse (GSRD). That could mean someone is kinky, polyamorous, a sex worker, queer (or a combination!). Rachel Seymour works with people on a wide variety of issues: she sees couples who want to work on improving communication in their relationship; she sees individuals who are struggling to identify what they want sexually; she sees people who want a space to process their feelings more generally. Rachel works in an integrative way. This means she pulls from a variety of different therapeutic models, including humanistic, person-centred and existential. She also works through a GSRD lens - for example, Rachel believes that everyone (regardless of relationship style) can benefit from the skills developed through polyamory (for example communication). Rachel works both short-term and long-term with clients based on your goals and needs. You will work together to identify what you are looking for from a therapist, whether that is skills-building, a space to process difficult feelings, an empathetic ear, or sex education.

With ourselves, our exes, our kids and other important beings.' Parenting - the hardest job on the world! Parenting boys, relationship breakup, finding your purpose, attachment to things - Coco Novak shares her life story. An important message - you cannot parent two kids the same way. You cannot parent children based on your own character, but the child's character. This is the ultimate challenge! Attachment - why are we so attached to things? Why can't we move on when relationships, or jobs don't serve us anymore. Are we so attached to a relationship that we're willing to sacrifice our life for it, even if we're unhappy? Why do people stay in jobs that are not good for them anymore? Fear of failure? Coco says 'there's no such thing as failure!' Just try again. Or maybe that thing just wasn't for you and your focus should be elsewhere. Single, and too tired to mingle - CHAPTER SYNOPSIS 1. The three pillars – Being unhappy was not an option: Was it my work, my kids, or the relationship with my partner? What I did to monitor life satisfaction. 2. On relationships (or the necessity of being in one) – Why does it seem socially important for us to be in a relationship? Are people in relationships happier than singletons? 3. On parenting – Easier in theory than in practice: To have kids or not to have kids? How (not) to treat kids during a divorce or split. 4. On raising boys (mostly) – The joys and challenges of boys: Why do we call girls princesses, but so easily punish boys? Let's have a great relationship with our sons! 5. On single motherhood – The often-underappreciated role of mothers globally: From the Roe vs Wade fiasco to 'pro-life' advocates. Single parents must be supported. 6. On exes having kids with another partner – Having our ego in check is a challenge we must overcome: The importance of healthy co-parenting, despite its difficulties. 7. On parents – What should be our most positive influence in life, sometimes isn't: A guide to different parenting styles. 8. On siblings – Raised to be in rivalry with my siblings: A sad journey with my sister, the unusual tale of my brother, and the relationship with my own two kids. 9. On my favourite men (and a girl) – A retrospective and a Thank You to the favourite men in my life who have been my anchor. And a bit about a girl.https://www.youtube.com/@CoCoNovak

Tuesday Talks - Dr. Ricky Arenson shares his views on the biology of sexes. What makes our relationships last and what makes our relationships happy. Men and women depend on each other for survival and the continuation of the human race. Heterosexual relationships make up the majority of relationships - media currently seems to want to destroy the notion of a happy heterosexual couple as a basic unit - which it still predominantly is. Hollywood love - Hollywood shows unrealistic expectations of love and sex. Children learn from movies and movies are not an accurate depiction of what sex and relationships are like.

Tuesday Talks - Veronica's journey is a testament to the power of resilience and transformation. As an undiagnosed girl, her life spiralled her to become an alcoholic, sex addict drug addict and mother of a yound child was found unconcsious in her own house by police at age 36.

Her memory, a beacon of light in the darkest of times, was snatched away too soon, leaving Olu to navigate the turbulent waters of grief with two young sons by his side.As he shares his journey, Olu unveils the poignant chapters of his life, etched with the scars of rejection and the sting of discrimination. Their love transcended boundaries, but societal shackles threatened to suffocate its flame. He speaks of the anguish of not being embraced by his father-in-law, solely due to the pigment of his skin, a wound that cut deep into his spirit.Yet, in the symphony of fate, a chance event spun the wheels of change. Through perseverance and unwavering love, Olu's steadfastness softened hearts, erasing the lines of prejudice, and paving the path for acceptance and reconciliation.In a world that often measures strength by stoicism, Coco poses a poignant question: "Do men cry?" The answer reverberates through the chambers of masculinity, breaking down walls of misconception. Yes, men cry. And in the sacred space of brotherhood, they find solace, healing, and the courage to embrace vulnerability.#LoveTranscends#EmbraceDiversity#StrengthInVulnerability#HealingThroughSharing#cancer#cancersurvivor#mywifehascancer#men#menhealing#mendocry#interracialmarriage#interracialrelationship#loveofmylive#relationships#love#tuesdaytalks#marriage

Tuesday Talks: Relationships/Couples: We’ve been taught that as long as two people really love each other, they can overcome anything. The important part is finding love, the rest will fall into place. The truth is that even happy couples disagree on most things and experience conflict and challenges. It's how you handle the challenges that will determine whether you grow closer together and strengthen the love in the relationship or start to break apart.Dating/Singles: This idea that there is a ‘right person’ for everyone has created doubt in too many relationships and lead to many breakups. Often we believe the hard part is finding our true love but once we do, the relationship will naturally fall into place If there is conflict, we worry, it must be because we’re not with ‘the right person’. In reality, we need more than just chemistry, that's the easy part. We also need compatibility, compromise and commitment to make things work.Relationships, like most things in life, require skill and understanding. While it is true that forming a romantic connection is natural experience, how to make sure the person you are with is the right one for you, how to make your relationship happy, successful and full of love requires a conscious understanding on your part.

Tuesday Talks: Nevine says: 'The idea of online dating has always been quite daunting for me. Maybe it is because of the fear of rejection, of not being “attractive enough” for someone and being made to feel like that, simply by a swipe of a finger. Or, maybe it’s the fear of a date going really wrong. But what makes it increasingly daunting is the fact that I am a single parent. Here’s what goes through my head when I nervously agree to meet someone: “Will they freak out when they find out I have kids? Are they just looking for fun and to try to get me in bed? Will they not ‘get it’ when I can’t be spontaneous and pack up for a day trip to the country unannounced?”Half the time, I just avoid it all together, and hope that I will one day have that magical chance encounter with my future life partner; the magical “meet cute”. After all, It does happen and it can happen – but seemingly, only for a very lucky few.'S0urce: https://www.independent.co.uk/voices/single-parent-dating-advice-b2040305.html

He works work with men (and women) to create a lasting change by addressing root cause behaviour, beliefs and patterns that no longer serve.Background: Three or four years ago, you had a dramatic life event happen. As you didn’t feel supported by your then partner, another event followed shortly after. The collision of these two events is what triggered his current, I guess – spiritual - life path. Nazmul has gone through a dramatic and intense transformation in his habits, thinking patterns and beliefs.
