In this eye-opening conversation, Dr. Robert Melillo unpacks his decades of expertise in neuroscience and childhood disorders, diving deep into the complexities of ADHD, autism, and brain balance. He sheds light on how the right and left brain develop—and what happens when they don’t sync up as they should. We explore the often-overlooked power of parental intuition, the need for education reform that actually supports neurodivergent kids, and the role of emotional intelligence in helping children thrive. Dr. Melillo challenges conventional perspectives on ADHD and autism, urging us to see the brilliance in these children and embrace the potential of neuroplasticity to unlock their best selves. If you’ve ever questioned how we can do better for our kids, this conversation will shift the way you see the developing brain.
