Common Pain Points

Intense Emotional Reactions

Children with ADHD often experience emotions with heightened intensity, leading to frequent mood swings and emotional outbursts. These intense reactions can be overwhelming for both the child and their family, creating stress and misunderstandings.

Difficulty with Emotional Regulation

Managing emotions can be particularly challenging for children with ADHD. Their impulsivity and low frustration tolerance may result in sudden meltdowns or anger, making it hard for them to navigate everyday situations calmly.

Struggles with Social Interaction

Emotional volatility and heightened sensitivity can lead to difficulties in forming and maintaining friendships. Children with ADHD may feel isolated or misunderstood, which can further impact their emotional well-being and social confidence.

I am so appreciative of the Pathformers initiative!! In conversations with friends who have children, we are always questioning whether some behaviors are normal, worrisome, or not. I am struck by how very little information pediatricians give to parents on mental health and what is normal for children to do and when you need to seek help. Pathformers gives us a place to turn to answer those questions. It provides families with research-based and trustworthy information to help with their kids’ mental health.

I had the chance to check out Pathformers on my phone and computer, and let me tell you, the computer version really blew me away. The site’s beautiful aesthetic and diverse family photos and videos really capture the richness of family life. The topics they talk about are super helpful, and navigating the site is a breeze, especially with the filters that stay put until you change them. Dr. Klein explains things in a way that’s easy to get, which I think will hit home for a lot of people, not just parents like us. I’m actually pretty excited to tell my colleagues about it. We’re always looking for meaningful ‘lunch and learns’, and I really think Pathformers could be a big hit with us and others.
