In this module, we dive into recent neuropsychological research that illuminates the connection between early trauma and ADHD. You’ll learn about how trauma alters brain development, affecting emotional regulation and behavior. The video covers key findings from research on how infants’ responses to trauma can shape their future behavior, particularly in relation to ADHD. We encourage you to take notes and revisit sections that resonate with your child’s experience.

Misunderstanding the Link Between Trauma and ADHD
Parents may struggle to see the connection between early trauma and ADHD symptoms, leading to confusion and ineffective interventions.
Difficulty Identifying Trauma-Induced Behaviors
It can be challenging for parents to differentiate between trauma-induced behaviors and typical ADHD symptoms, complicating the path to appropriate support.
Struggles with Managing Behavioral Cycles
The cycle of demanding behavior and parental frustration can exacerbate the child's difficulties, creating a persistent conflict that hinders emotional growth and stability.
A word from our Families
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.

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 kidsโ mental health.
