Cindy, I really appreciated the opportunity to attend this session.

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. I thank you for opening the realm of opportunity for me.

You opened my eyes to so much!

I knew I needed better communication skills to be able to cope with the new phase of our relationship. I now know how to communicate with a calm and collaborative problem-solving attitude.

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, helping us discover the unique qualities of students and adults with ADHD and executive function issues. Cindy was dynamic, well-informed, and engaging. Her practical strategies were immediately useful, and she’s an outstanding resource for any school or organization.
John H. Suitor III, Head of School, Boulder Country Day School
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.

I attended one of your trainings earlier this year and loved it!!!! I work as an Educational Technician at a grade 2-5 school and work with many children with ADHD. I was happy to share some of the strategies that I learned from one of your trainings and they proved to be terrific strategies with the students.

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

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

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
This training course and Calm and Connected© materials are so fantastic!

This training provides a very comprehensive overview of the child with ADHD and why it should be imperative for every parent to take this course. It is evident that you have put an enormous amount of time and energy, and love into this course. For that, I am especially grateful for the course.
