In this episode of The Mindful Mic, hosts Colbi Twiss and Grace Shimatsu sit down with the Children's Home psychologist Leah Gallant to talk about something every parent should understand — concussions.

While often associated with sports, concussions can happen in everyday situations like bike rides, playground accidents, or even a simple fall at home. Leah shares her expertise on how to recognize the signs, what to do if your child experiences a head injury, and how to support proper recovery.

We also discuss common misconceptions, when to seek professional help, and why early awareness can make a lasting difference in a child’s health and development.

Whether your child is an athlete or just being a kid, this is an important conversation for every parent and caregiver.
