If you’ve ever wondered whether your child’s struggles come from ADHD, anxiety, or both — you’re not alone. And now you can watch the recording of our most recent ADHDKC Parent Group talk "Wired & Wiggly: Understanding Anxiety and ADHD in Kids" with pediatrician and childhood mental health advocate Dr. Natasha Burgert.

Our newest ADHD KC Conversations episode is live — and this one flips the script a little! Instead of previewing an upcoming speaker, Kristen Stuppy, MD, FAAP, sits down with special guest Lindsey Lipsky, M.Ed, CNP, a longtime special education advocate and new ADHDKC Advisory Board member. Together, they talk about what families are really experiencing right now — the pressure, the chronic stress, and why supporting parents is just as important as supporting kids.

Explore effective strategies for supporting students with ADHD in this session led by Sean McCormick, founder of EF Specialists. Learn about the CHASE framework to navigate student phases and enhance executive function skills. This session highlights the importance of collective efficacy and family team meetings, offering insights to create a supportive educational environment.

If you’re parenting a tween or teen who struggles with organization, time management, follow-through, or transitions, this talk is packed with practical, realistic strategies you can start using right away. Becky focused on how executive functioning is a skill set that has to be taught and practiced, not a character flaw or a lack of motivation. She emphasized that ADHD isn’t about knowing what to do—it’s about being able to do it at the right time, in the right way.

In our latest ADHDKC Conversations episode, we dive into the fascinating (and sometimes frustrating) intersection of attention, technology, and the developing brain. Our guest, Sean McCormick from Executive Function Specialists, joins us to unpack how today’s tech tools are designed to capture attention and deliver instant gratification — and what that means for teens whose brains are still developing self-regulation and planning skills.

Dr. Kristen Stuppy and Sara Whelan sit down with pediatrician, author, and child-mental-health advocate Dr. Natasha Burgert, MD, FAAP for a powerful and practical conversation about ADHD, anxiety, and the kids who experience both.

Dr. Caroline Danda shares practical strategies to help parents better understand and support their children with ADHD. Dr. Danda explains that ADHD is often a regulation challenge rather than just an attention problem, and she offers clear, compassionate advice for preventing meltdowns, managing transitions, and fostering independence. You’ll learn how to use co-regulation, thoughtful communication, and visual supports to create a calmer, more connected home environment.

In this informative session, Dr. Stuppy discusses how to recognize, prevent, and manage the most common side effects of ADHD medications — including appetite changes, sleep problems, emotional shifts, and more.

In this insightful session, Bronwyn Foley explores how fears, bedtime resistance, and nightmares can overwhelm children with ADHD — and what you can do to help.
