#47 Top 5 Misdiagnosed Disorders in Children

Most "sensory-seeking," "strong-willed," and "high needs" children don't need therapy — they need THIS → https://reclaimplay.com/course

Here's what I've discovered after raising 5 kids: When children get the movement, exploration, and independent play they're designed for, most of those "diagnostic" behaviors naturally resolve.

They develop focus, emotional regulation, social skills, and confidence — not through intervention, but through what their developing brains actually crave. Before you label your child, give them what they're biologically designed to thrive with.

Yet... Here's what's happening instead - we live in a world where diagnostic labels are everywhere — and sometimes they help. But too often, we’re taking language meant for clinical settings and casually applying it to normal childhood behavior.

That's why we start parenting the label instead of the child.

In this episode, we’ll explore:
- Why common diagnosis terms might not mean what you think
- How these labels can quietly limit your child’s growth (and your confidence as a parent)
- What to focus on instead — so you can meet your child’s real needs without boxing them in

This isn’t about ignoring challenges. It’s about seeing your child fully — and giving them the chance to rise beyond the story they’ve been given. The shift we’ll talk about today can change the way you see your child, your family culture, and even yourself.
