This training course and Calm and Connected material is so fantastic; it’s meaty with descriptions of most importantly what it’s like for kids with ADHD, with concepts like disability thinking on the parent’s end to help defray emotional reaction to child’s behaviors, solid and sensible communication techniques that can work in ANY relationship. I’m sure you’ve heard over and over from coaching trainees that they wished they had Calm and Connected for their own family issues. I know that’s how I feel. And though my son is in a good place, and feeling fulfilled yet still learning, I have really kept this curriculum in mind when the much less occasional friction rears up. So thank you! Your delivery is therapeutic, positive, and easy to maintain full attention for 2 hours at a clip. Honest, and clear, and so willing to clear up any confusion in a calm manner.

Cindy has made the very difficult task of parenting a child with ADHD so much more manageable for me.  The mantras she shares have been very helpful in enabling me to deal with the anger and “why me” feelings that often accompany having a child with ADHD.  She has truly helped me “Parent the child I have” (to use a quote that Cindy often does).  I feel better knowing Cindy is there when I need her.

I really enjoyed this training! I learned so much from you and have been reflecting on everything I have learned from the moment the course began.  You are an excellent teacher and obviously a gifted parent coach.  I have derived so many benefits from this training including a stronger ability to stay calm, listen to others, appreciate my strengths as a coach as well as a clinician, and gain a clearer understanding of the components that are required for effective parenting. 

Lauren Albert, M.S., CCC-SLP, Speech-Language Pathologist, ADHD & Executive Function Parent Coach

I attended your webinar, “Managing Homework: Parents Edition” this past week. It was one of the most informative webinars I have attended regarding kids with ADD. We have been struggling with my son, who is now a sophomore, for years with his homework and completing assignments on time. This gave me so much valuable information that I am going to utilize. In addition to all of the valuable information, the whole webinar was well put together, it flowed nicely, and was easy to follow along and understand. I am a former trainer myself so I understand how much time goes into a quality presentation like this. You also were very easy to understand and you didn’t speak too fast. It moved at a nice pace.

Thank you for your time and expertise.

Cindy, I really appreciated the opportunity to attend this session. As I mentioned to you via a separate email conversation I learned more about myself as a result of taking this course and was able to identify myself as an individual that also has ADHD. It was very liberating, and am working on developing additional supports for myself that would help hold me accountable and become more successful both in my career and in my personal life.

Salvador L. (ADHD Parent Coach Academy Graduate)

Cindy is a knowledgeable and competent teacher. This course has provided me with so many tools as a clinician that have been instrumental in my practice with parents of children with ADHD/EF challenges. This is a great investment for any clinician or coach that works with parents or neurodivergent children.

Christina Silvera, Clinical Psychologist, ADHD & Executive Function Parent Coach

Cindy’s Parent Coach training program is excellent. She is relatable and knowledgeable about ADHD and parenting. Cindy’s workshops helped me launch my coaching business with workshops that provide valuable and easy to administer tools for both acquiring clients and working with clients. I am also taking advantage of Cindy’s ongoing education to coaches to help me grow my practice and increase my knowledge. I highly recommend this program for coaches just starting out or coaches wanting to expand their practices!

My husband and I want to express our most sincere thank you for allowing us to participate in your webinar!  As was expected, it was TERRIFIC!

Cindy Goldrich is insightful, real, and reassuring.  If you are wondering whether your struggles with your atypical child are typical, Cindy’s seminar is the best place to start.  You will find common ground immediately with other parents who adore their children but are struggling immensely.  You will find answers to your questions.  You will find laughter and camaraderie.  You will find reassurance that you are already a good parent — one who will increasingly strengthen bonds and provide the best support you can with Cindy’s guidance, tools, and strategies.  Cindy is the best type of coach — one who provides the most up-to-date science, research, and educational insights while also providing the means to more calm and confidence that are the very art of parenting.  I encourage you to take the opportunity to join Cindy’s seminar; you will not be disappointed.

“I loved your professional development class!! I immediately started re-reading your handouts and feel very inspired. I can’t wait to implement many strategies, especially showing how the neurons connect and what is happening inside their brains. I also love the two homework handouts.”

Thank You!

I have just completed your ADHD Parent Coach training, and I wanted to say I have never been more motivated to help a community of parents/educators who are lost and not educated enough like myself (before) to know the difficulties of raising and teaching students with ADHD. You opened my eyes to so much!

Brittney W. (Educator and ADHD Parent Coach Academy Graduate)

Thank you again for such educational and well-organized instruction. At this time I actually don’t have any immediate follow-up questions. However, if and when I choose to begin parent coaching (outside of working with parents of students) I know I will be appreciative of having you and your wealth of experience as a resource. Thank you for everything, 

Robin Held, Montessori elementary school teacher, ADHD & Executive Function Parent Coach

Your presentation provided easy-to-implement practical suggestions for empowering those who work with children and adolescents with ADHD, executive functioning, and other related challenges, as well as recognizing and understanding their own as well as the students’ strengths. Our attendees were inspired and engaged. We admire how you responded so well to the questions and gave great advice, ideas and comfort with your responses.

Ellen Maiseloff, MA, Opening the Doors Partnership Program, Jewish Federation of Metropolitan Detroit

I have learned that when I don’t react or respond to every emotional outburst, fewer and less severe problematic situations (related to my child’s unwillingness, particularly for chores, homework, mealtimes and sibling interactions) occurred.

Ellen P.

I have wanted to reach out to you for some time to say thank you for your Calm and Connected program for parents. I remember sitting there and listening to the different families tell their stories and while some things were familiar, other information was totally foreign to me.  I remember saying to myself “Thank God, we’re not going through that.”  Well, sure enough, many times since I have now corrected and said “thank God I took the course and I understand because of those people I met.”  It was excellent preparation for what was to come on this ever-evolving journey.

The other point I wanted to acknowledge in regard to the program is that the course brought things to my attention and I have been diagnosed with ADHD.  It was a bit of a process, but it was confirmed this winter.  I wouldn’t have realized had it not been through that workshop.  

So, I just wanted you to know how tremendously helpful your program has been and it truly was a godsend as I literally stumbled upon it. 

Jennifer N.

I am a clinical psychologist and I have worked with many psychologists, social workers and therapists. I took Cindy’s 7-week course on parenting children with ADHD and was very impressed. Cindy covers a broad range of material and offers many practical techniques and tools for parents dealing with challenging children. But most importantly, Cindy has a gift for making parents feel understood. She helps parents look at their weaknesses without making them feel badly about their parenting. She provides a great sense of hope for parents who are feeling despairing and guilty. I so valued her coaching that my daughter and I now work with her privately on an ongoing basis.  Working with Cindy has been invaluable to us and our relationship.

I highly recommend Cindy’s class and her coaching to parents and professionals working with people with ADHD.

“I enjoyed your presentation. You were energetic and informative and made the learning accessible by using many real-life examples. I walked away with greater insight, strategies, and tools I will use in my classroom. Thank you.”

Lisa – Elementary Teacher

Cindy Goldrich is a phenomenal instructor and made it simple to stay engaged. As a result, I earned an APCA license to teach Calm and Connected: Parenting Children and Teens with Executive.

Robyn

I attended your conference at WSBOCES in January…loved it…and have used many of your strategies (and ways of thinking) in my classroom.

Pamela, 1st Grade Teacher

The 1st meeting I had with Cindy I just vented and she listened. She was compassionate and knowledgeable and helped me realize I could help my son. After Cindy visited my son’s school and spoke with his teacher I knew she was an awesome asset to my son’s education. The strategies she suggested to his teacher worked within a week and he is on a path to success.

Emily L.

I enjoyed your presentation. You were energetic, and informative, and made the learning accessible by using lots of real-life examples.  I walked away with greater insight, strategies, and tools I will use in my classroom.  Thank you!

Ms. B., 6th grade teacher

This book (8 Keys to Parenting Children with ADHD) is a godsend for parents raising kids who have the exciting but often challenging condition called ADHD. Written by a woman who has helped thousands of parents through her enormously successful parenting workshops and classes, Cindy Goldrich’s book is an instant classic.

Edward Hallowell, MD, Renowned child and adult psychiatrist, educator, and author of Driven to Distraction

I have read your book and have been following you for a few years and on your email list. and I’ve learned so much from you.  I especially admire how you are a big supporter of moms taking the coaching role in parenting their children with ADHD and special needs.   You are a role model for me and so many others.     I want you to know that who you are and what you do really make a major impact in the world.

Andrea M

Cindy helped me realize the importance of working through my own unexpressed emotions. Cindy helped me see this and gave me valuable tools to help the healing process. I am so very grateful for her time and guidance and happy to report that both my son and myself are much better because of it.

Tracy P.

I have taken Cindy’s 6-week parenting course and attended her parent support group. They both are terrific and blend just the right amount of education, insight, support, and sharing. Cindy is a highly competent and expert coach who is able to make what sometimes seems like the impossible, possible, and even achievable. She is also a warm and caring coach who draws on her wealth and breadth of experience to help parents better understand and effectively parent their children.

Marcia H.

You’ve developed a really brilliant program here. I wish I had it when my son was first diagnosed 10 years ago!

Gwynn Anidjar, Life Coach,  ADHD & Executive Function Parent Coach

What a great curriculum.  Parents had positive feedback with their kids already!! I really like how it flowed 

So glad I can offer support and education to parents.  Thank you for putting this together.
