Enroll Today

This module explores non-pharmacological ways to support children with ADHD and their families through emotional and relational challenges. While medication is often the first choice for managing hyperactivity, it’s not the only solution. We’ll dive into how attention develops, the misconceptions around ADHD as a genetic disorder, and the importance of therapeutic interventions like family support. By the end of this module, you’ll have a deeper understanding of why supporting your child emotionally and relationally can be just as impactful, if not more so, than medication alone.

Common Pain Points

Feeling Pressured to Medicate

Many parents feel pushed toward medication as the only solution for managing their child’s ADHD, often because of pressure from schools, healthcare providers, or even societal expectations. It’s hard to know if this is truly the right choice, especially when alternative interventions are less discussed.

Struggling with Emotional Outbursts and Inconsistent Attention

Your child can sit and play video games for hours but loses focus within minutes during homework or conversations. This inconsistency makes it difficult to know how to help them stay focused on what really matters.

Lack of Resources for Therapy

Time and resources for therapy can feel scarce, leading many families to turn to medication as a quicker fix. But deep down, you may wonder if there are better ways to address the emotional and relational aspects of ADHD.

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.
