Modern Mom Probs What to Do When You Think Your Child has a Health or Behavior Problem with Sehreen Noor Ali
In this podcast episode, Tara welcomes Sehreen Noor Ali, co-founder of the Sleuth, a startup that gives parents better directions on early childhood health. They had an enlightening conversation about the challenges of modern motherhood and how technology can be a game-changer when determining if something is “up.”
Sehreen shared her personal experience of struggling to find information and support for her daughter's medical journey, which led her to co-found Sleuth.
Tara and Sehreen emphasize the importance of trusting one's instincts as a parent and the need for accurate information and emotional support. They also discuss the role of technology, such as AI, in providing helpful information to parents.
Sehreen emphasizes the importance of managing anxiety, both for the child and the parent. She introduces us to tools like Sleuth's tracker that can help capture and understand what's happening in the moment, reducing anxiety by providing a clearer picture of what is normal and what may require attention.
Tara and Sehreen acknowledge the overwhelming responsibilities that come with parenting a child with special needs. Serene also suggests finding ways to alleviate some of the stress, such as using telehealth services and resources like the Coping Cat books and online courses, like GoZen.
The episode concludes with a discussion about respecting children's privacy online while simultaneously finding solace in social media communities. It's a tightrope walk, but with careful steps, it's achievable.
