"My Mighty Quinn" - From Tics, Turbulence, Distraction and Disconnection to Calm, Confident and Connected"
This podcast, hosted by Lucia Silver, tells the story of her son Quinn and her search for answers to his learning, attention, behavioural and developmental challenges. Drawing on five years of research, Lucia explores a drug-free neuroscience-based approach that she says transformed Quinn from a life of tics, turbulence and disconnection to calm, confidence and connection. Each episode introduces neuroscientists, pioneers and organisations who work with child brain development, offering a different perspective on supporting children who struggle. The series aims to help parents who feel unsupported by conventional educational and medical systems.
