Psyched2Parent Podcast | Dr. Amy Patenaude

Welcome to Psyched2Parent: Turning Brain Science into Tiny Wins.

If parenting feels like an endurance event, you’re in the right place. Some days are a steady climb. Some days are a surprise storm. And some nights you’re googling: ADHD? Anxiety? Big feelings? Or just a hard season?

I’m Dr. Amy Patenaude, a licensed school psychologist and parent coach. I help parents of big-feeling, strong-willed, big-hearted kids understand what’s happening in the brain and nervous system, then turn it into Tiny Wins that actually work.

Here you’ll find audio-first podcast episodes and short clips with practical scripts for tantrums and meltdowns, after-school restraint collapse, worry and bedtime spirals, attention and executive functioning, screen time boundaries, and school support like 504s and IEPs.
