Hi Dr Lee, interesting & very important research you’re doing!

I know two young children (4&8) who have had quite a difficult and stressful life so far, with a fairly poor/absent father figure. The older child is already a very anxious child and sometimes acts out, although it has gotten better recently. We suspect adhd and dyslexia. We only see them every few weeks or few months but will see them more often soon.

What are some things we can do to help them develop more healthily? We already try to compliment where possible and pay active attention to them when we see them.
