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.

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.

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.
