Home PTS Coaching

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.

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.

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.

I now really know how to distinguish if my child is being willfully defiant or manipulative or if he is just really struggling to do what he should. This allows me to respond more effectively and help really change the outcomes.

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 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)

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 G.

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.

Roberta H. (ADHD Parent Coach Academy Graduate)

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!

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.

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 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.

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

I took the ADHD Parent Coach Academy from Singapore and I have found the information very helpful and up to date. Cindy has been really sincere and supportive from the moment I contacted her. I have started to do her webinars in both Japanese and English and my participants have given me feedback on how the webinars gave them a new light on their situations and so informative. The administration side is very smooth as well and is amazingly on top of things! I definitely recommend PTS Coaching to anyone looking to find a coach and to train to become a coach.

Ryoko Sado, ADHD/EF Coach, Counselor, Educational Coach

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

You have given me renewed joy with my daughter. Thank you so much!

Marissa C.

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!

Brittney White, Educator

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.

Monica

I worked with PTS Coaching during a difficult time in my son’s school career and quickly realized 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 M.

“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

It was so wonderful to speak with you a few weeks ago – thank you so much for your time and expert insights. I have told tons of people about your book (8 Keys to Parenting Children with ADHD), which my husband, parents, and I are all reading! As a parenting writer (and as a parent), I’ve read so many books on subjects like this and I have to say, yours is exceptionally helpful. What I admire most about it, is that it keeps the big picture always in mind, so you don’t get too bogged down in the details (but at the same time, it is full of concrete specific strategies). I’ve learned so much from it, and I’m not a newcomer to this disorder, so thank you! I’ll continue to recommend it to parents, and I hope that featuring it in my book, will give the title that much more exposure. 

Nicole C. Kear, Author

I knew I needed better communication skills to cope with the new phase of our relationship. …I think it was one of the smartest things I ever did in my life. I feel it will 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 a judgmental short-tempered parent…Thank you, Cindy.

Amal A. (Mother and ADHD Parent Coach Academy Graduate)

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

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.

Joan R.

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.
