Testimonials From Parents And Professionals

I highly recommend working with Cindy. She brings, calm, clarity, and wisdom to your family when you need it most. She understands the challenges you encounter on a daily basis and helps you over the hurdles. Cindy provides her wisest insights and still respects your position and supports you unwaveringly. Most importantly, she helps you see your child in a new light so that you can be your child’s biggest advocate. I am forever grateful for all that Cindy has taught me and my family.
Stacey N.
If it hadn’t been for your course and your outreach to parents I wouldn’t have been able to advocate for my son. Now he can receive the support he needs to reach his potential. Thank YOU!
Martha S.
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!
Kristen W.
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
I have thoroughly enjoyed both classes and learned so much. I am excited about providing these services in my community and encourage other professionals to attend Cindy’s training.
Monica
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.
Cindy, this article perfectly describes my son. If it weren’t for your Calm and Connected© class I would not have had the tools to recognize the symptoms. I’m happy to report he is now in 8th grade, has a 504, and is feeling much better about his achievements.
Martha Y.

Monica
I had the good fortune to attend one of your sessions at the NWAIS conference in Seattle and want to thank you – I learned a great deal in a very brief amount of time! In terms of defining what the executive functions are, I have never seen a more clear and easily understandable definition and list of the distinct areas as the one you presented last week. Thank you.
Joan T., Educator
I have read your book, and many of your articles and have participated in many of your webinar series. You are just wonderful! And your expertise and advice to parents such as myself is largely responsible for the changes I have made in myself in how I respond to and interact with my son.
Allyson B.
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 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.
Cindy’s coaching programs are fantastic. She teaches you in a way in which you feel encouraged and empowered to try new methods and approaches to supporting your child(ren) with ADHD.
Chontel
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
You have given me renewed joy with my daughter. Thank you so much!
Marissa C.
Thank you for an incredibly useful training session. It was SO helpful to be able to do this via the web. I would not have been able to do it otherwise. I got a lot out of the course and I plan to go deeply into your materials in the months to come to keep teaching and reminding myself of everything you presented.
Kim N.
I feel so much less stress, as a parent. I knew I probably needed to be more consistent, set limits, and create structure, but now I have the tools and confidence to really make the changes for me and for my child.
Jane S.
I loved the content and delivery. I felt like I was talking with a friend. Cindy, you are very relatable and the connection you have with the parents is very special. There is Nothing false about you. We can tell you feel passionate about your work and passionate about helping others. I am so grateful for you and this workshop!
Allison S.
Cindy, If it weren’t for your Calm and Connected class I would not have had the tools to recognize the symptoms. I’m happy to report he is now in 8th grade, has a 504, and is feeling much better about his achievements.
Martha Y.
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.
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.
Heidi P. (Mother and ADHD Parent Coach Academy Graduate)
I knew I needed better communication skills to be able to cope with the new phase of our relationship. …I think it was one the smartest thing I ever did in my life. I feel it is going to bring me closer to my son and understand what he was trying to tell me, for a very simple reason, I now know how to communicate with a calm and collaborative problem-solving attitude instead of being judgmental, short-tempered parent. I love my son dearly. If this will make me help him and not enable him, I will do it again and again and again. For me, that was the light at the end of the tunnel. Thank you Cindy.
Amal A. (Parent and ADHD Parent Coach Academy Graduate)
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 conference at WSBOCES in January…loved it…and have used many of your strategies (and ways of thinking) in my classroom.

Amal Alsayer
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.
Thanks for the great presentation today. As a school counselor, I wanted to hit the record button and press play for my parents/teachers.
Kim S., School Counselor

Robyn
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
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!
