Difficulty Keeping Your Child Focused
It’s frustrating when your child seems to focus on the wrong things—like video games or toys—while struggling to pay attention to schoolwork or family conversations. You’re not alone in feeling overwhelmed by the unpredictability of their attention span.
Managing Mood Swings and Emotional Regulation
Children with ADHD often experience mood swings that directly impact their ability to focus. As a parent, it can feel like a never-ending battle between their emotional highs and lows and their ability to stay on task.
Struggling with Motivation
Many children with ADHD find it difficult to stay motivated unless there’s an immediate reward or gratification. This can make long-term goals, like doing well in school, a significant challenge.
A word from our Families
Pathformers is an exceptionally well-designed platform with an intuitive, seamless user experience. As someone who works closely with parents, I deeply appreciate how thoughtfully the material is organized and how accessible the content is. Beyond its polished look, the platform offers clear, research-informed explanations that help parents make sense of their children’s development and behavior. Dr. Klein presents complex ideas in a way that feels grounded, relatable, and respectful of parents’ real concerns. For families looking for trustworthy information about child development, Pathformers provides an invaluable place to learn and reflect. I’m excited to see how this resource continues to grow and support parents in meaningful ways!

I’m so grateful for the Pathformers initiative. When talking with friends who have children, we’re constantly asking ourselves what behaviors are typical, what might need attention, and how to make sense of the day-to-day challenges kids face. What has always struck me is how little developmental or emotional information parents often receive from pediatric visits. Pathformers gives us a reliable place to turn for clear, research-based explanations that help us understand what we’re seeing in our children. It’s been incredibly reassuring to finally have information we can trust.
