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)

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

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)

It’s a pleasure to recommend Cindy Goldrich to present at your school or organization. She led a ½ day presentation at Boulder Country Day School where she helped us discover the unique qualities of both students and adults with attention deficit and executive function issues. Cindy was a dynamic presenter, well-informed, and eager to engage with her audience. She reviewed key characteristics of ADHD and executive functioning deficits, all the while putting to rest myths and inaccuracies that seem to inundate the public discourse. Her practical strategies were well received by our faculty and staff, and we were immediately able to put her training to good use. She’d be an outstanding resource for schools and/or organizations seeking to explore or to learn more about these important issues.

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.

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 the 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 Parles

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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 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.

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

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 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

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…

Lauren A. (ADHD Parent Coach Academy Graduate)

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 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.

Elisa R.

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.

Brittney White, Educator

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

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 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.

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

Marissa C.

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)

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.
