💡 Understanding ODD in Kids
Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) isn’t “bad behaviour.” It’s a pattern of big emotions, arguing, and pushing back that shows up often and makes life tough for kids and families.

🪧 Common signs:  
• Frequent anger or irritability
• Arguing with adults
• Refusing rules
• Blaming others
• Being easily annoyed or spiteful

🧐Why it happens:  
A mix of temperament, stress, family dynamics, and sometimes conditions like ADHD or anxiety.

🤓How a psychologist helps:  
• Assesses what’s really going on
• Teaches kids emotional regulation and problem‑solving
• Supports parents with strategies that reduce conflict
• Works with schools to create helpful plans

🗞️ The good news:  
With early support, kids with ODD can learn healthier ways to cope and thrive.

🥱🍔You may have noticed that you can feel hungry even after eating enough, especially when you’re bored. This “boredom eating” has less to do with physical hunger and more to do
with stimulation, habit, or emotion. Eating food provides a quick hit of dopamine, gives us something to do, and can temporarily break up monotony. That’s why boredom often leads to mindless snacking.

Boredom eating often happens automatically – you open the pantry not because your body needs fuel, but because your brain wants engagement.

Here are some ways to help manage it:
🤔 Pause and ask yourself if you’re hungry or just bored.

🍪 Keep tempting snack foods less visible or harder to access.

📚 Have some alternative “boredom breaker” options, including walking, stretching, reading, calling someone, and/or hobbies.

🍗 Eat balanced meals with enough protein and fibre to help feel fuller.

📺 Avoid eating while scrolling or watching TV, which can disconnect you from hunger/fullness cues.

😴 Many GPS watches and smart watches have sleep and recovery tracking features inbuilt, with a “score” provided that is meant to indicate sleep quality and training readiness.

Sleep and recovery scores can be a useful tool, but only if you understand what they actually measure.
Most watches and apps estimate recovery based on things like heart rate variability, resting heart rate, sleep duration, and movement patterns. They can give a helpful snapshot of trends over time, but they’re not a perfect measure of training/event readiness or performance.

A “bad” recovery score doesn’t automatically mean you should skip training or reduce training intensity. A “good” score doesn’t guarantee you’ll feel amazing. Training load, life stress, nutrition, illness, work, parenting, and mental fatigue all influence recovery in
ways a watch can’t fully capture.

The best approach is to use recovery scores as one piece of the puzzle:

🧩 Look for long-term trends rather than daily fluctuations.

🧩 Pair the data with how you actually feel.

🧩 Focus on consistent sleep habits instead of chasing “perfect” scores.

🧩 Remember that adaptation often comes from training through manageable fatigue not avoiding it entirely.

🏃‍♂️ Simply put, cadence is your steps per minute (SPM). It’s how often your feet hit the ground.
 
The “Magic” number: You’ve probably heard of 180spm. While it’s a great benchmark popularised by elite runners, it’s not a strict rule. Your ideal cadence depends on your height, stride, and fitness level.
 
The Sweet Spot: For most runners, aiming for somewhere between 170 and 190 SPM is the gold standard for efficiency.
 
🤔 Why is It important?
 
A quicker cadence naturally shortens your stride. This prevents overstriding (landing with your foot too far in front of your body), which acts like a brake and sends a massive shockwave straight up to your knees and hips.
 
Shorter, quicker steps mean you spend less time on the ground and less energy pushing yourself vertically. You move forward, not up and down
 
How to Improve Your Cadence
 
1. The 5% Rule: Don’t try to jump from 150 to 180 overnight. Aim to increase your current cadence by just 5% to 10%.
2. Use a metronome or music: Find a metronome app or search for a “170 BPM” playlist on Spotify or Apple Music. Sync your footsteps to the beat. Note: Some watches have a built-in metronome that can vibrate every for every no. of beats according to your settings.
 
Tip: Focus on “stepping on hot coals” or keeping your feet quick and.
