Dr. Andrew Rosen and Dr. David Gross sit down with Dr. Celina Moore to talk about what it looks like when emotions show up in a child’s body, and why behavior deserves the same curiosity we give a fever or a cough.

They walk through the classic school day stomachache and how a pediatrician thinks about patterns, ruling out medical causes, and then zooming out to what might be happening with stress, fear, or being away from home. Dr. Moore explains why kids often do not yet have the language for what they feel, and how listening, reassurance, and supporting the whole family can make a meaningful difference before things escalate.

Beyond her work in South Florida, Dr. Moore also shares her long-standing commitment to children’s health in Ghana. Through the Acoma M Tosso Foundation, which she founded with her husband, she returns to the same villages year after year, building relationships and addressing both physical health concerns and the broader barriers to care that impact children’s lives. The conversation touches on compassion, burnout, and what keeps clinicians connected to the work in the first place.

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder gets talked about like a disease, but it’s more complicated than that. Dr. David Gross and Dr. Andrew Rosen pick up their conversation by unpacking the controversy around ADHD, what it actually means for kids and adults, and why it’s better understood as a disorder within a neurodiverse spectrum rather than a life sentence.

They walk through what treatment really looks like. Medication can be helpful, sometimes very helpful, but it’s not a magic fix. They talk honestly about stimulant and non stimulant options, how they work, the realities of side effects and monitoring, and why patience matters. Just as important, they highlight the piece that often gets missed: skill building. Time management, organization, and learning how to replace self defeating habits can be just as critical as any prescription.

There’s also space here for the emotional side. The quiet kid who falls through the cracks. The class clown who becomes the black sheep. The adult who carries years of believing they just weren’t smart enough. The message isn’t woe is me. It’s deal with what’s there, build the right environment, and help people reach their potential.

Social media has made ADHD a household term, but the lived reality is a lot messier and more human than a checklist or a trending label.

Dr. Andrew Rosen and Dr. David Gross talk honestly about how attention and distractibility show up across a lifetime. From restless kids labeled as troublemakers to adults juggling work, relationships, and nonstop stimulation, the conversation keeps coming back to a simple question. When does difficulty focusing become a disorder, and when is it just part of being human?

They reflect on how ADHD often starts in childhood, why it can feel louder in adulthood, and how identity, self-esteem, and life stress all get tangled together. There are real stories from clinical work, moments of dry humor, and a lot of nuance about creativity, hyperfocus, impulsivity, and the ways people learn to compensate or struggle when they cannot.

This is a grounded, experience-based conversation about attention, overload, and what happens when something goes unnamed for too long.
