It feels like you’re throwing darts in the dark, hoping one eventually hits the mark while your child continues to struggle. What if you could turn the lights on? [00:01] I’m Kristina Campos, founder of The Impactful Parent, and today I am joined by the brilliant Dr. Steve Rando, founder of Axon EEG Solutions. Together, we are pulling back the curtain on a game-changing approach to mental health: Brain Mapping (qEEG). [00:30] Dr. Rando challenges the standard ”trial and error” method of psychiatric medication.

[21:37] The ”Husky” Metaphor: Understanding unmet needs and how to curate an environment where your child’s unique brain can thrive. [32:00] Beyond Medications: Using data to choose the right sports, hobbies, and educational settings for your child’s specific wiring. [34:50] If you’ve ever asked, ”Why isn’t therapy working?” or ”Why does this medication make things worse?”, this conversation is the answer you’ve been praying for.
