Inside the ADHD Mind: Tools to Help Your Child Thrive

Wednesday, Jan. 21 @ 12 p.m.–1 p.m.

Kids with ADHD are full of strengths, yet everyday tasks and actions can be a struggle, adding an extra layer of complexity for their caregivers. Traditional parenting strategies often backfire, leaving families feeling defeated and alone.

In this live ParentEd Talk, psychiatrist and ADHD expert Dr. Sasha Hamdani, along with special guest moderator Dr. Erin Gonzalez, will unpack what’s happening in the ADHD brain, explain why common strategies often fall short, and share a game plan that works with your child’s mind — not against it. Whether you suspect ADHD, are navigating a new diagnosis or are simply feeling stuck, this talk provides clarity and confidence for families and caregivers who need it most.

You’ll leave with: 

  • A clear understanding of ADHD’s neurological roots and how they influence behavior, attention and emotional regulation
  • Practical tools to ease daily struggles like transitions, executive dysfunction and time blindness
  • Actionable strategies for communication, structure and supporting independence 

Better understanding leads to better support. Secure your spot now for the live Zoom webinar for just $10. By signing up, you’ll also receive on-demand access to the replay to watch anytime, anywhere.
