Sometimes you just need a conversation starter.

I like to create ways for families to "jumpstart" important conversations so that it is doable and FUN.

  • Encouraging your child's inner detective to learn more
  • Help them process their feelings after receiving a diagnosis of ADHD
  • Talk about what they have heard about ADHD
  • Find clues about ADHD so they can continue to think about and work through questions with you and your child's doctor

When families talk about ADHD, it takes the mystery out of it. You can move into your first fact- finding mission and learn about ADHD together.

Yes you can talk with kids about ADHD.

You might not know how to start, but I can help! When kids are given the chance to ask questions and given facts in child-friendly ways, it can demystify things for them. It will make a world of difference in how they "see" and think about ADHD.
