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.
Supporting your Hyperactive Child Beyond Medication

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.
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.

Dr. Klein presents complex ideas in a way that feels grounded, relatable, and respectful of parents’ real concerns.

I explored Pathformers on both my phone and my computer, and the desktop experience really stood out. The design is beautiful, and the diverse family photos and videos capture the richness of everyday family life. The topics are genuinely useful, and navigating the site is seamless — I especially appreciated the filters that stay in place as you browse. Dr. Klein explains complicated ideas in a way that feels clear and relatable, which I think will resonate with a wide audience, not just parents. I’m excited to share it with my colleagues — we’re always looking for meaningful ‘lunch and learn’ content, and I can see Pathformers being a great fit.
