Cindy Goldrich – författare

Parenting children with ADHD, whether diagnosed or undiagnosed, can be challenging and complex. But just as a child who struggles with reading can learn to decode words, children with ADHD can learn patience, communication and solution-seeking skills to become more confident, independent and capable. This book, rich with optimism, tips, tools and action plans, offers science-based insights and systems for parents to help cultivate these skills.Combining expert information with practical, sensitive advice, the eight "key" concepts here will help parents reduce chaos, improve cooperation and nurture the advantages—like creativity and drive—that often accompany all of that energy.Based on author Cindy Goldrich’s seven-session workshop entitled Calm and Connected: Parenting Kids with ADHD©, this book focuses on developing and strengthening effective interpersonal skills in both parents and children as a way to improve conflict resolution.Following the parenting principle to "Parent the child you have", Goldrich offers advice to help readers tailor their parenting to meet the needs of their unique child. The book also leads parents to recognise the value of being a leader and a guide to children, building parents’ confidence in their decision-making, and giving children a sense of safety, security and confidence..

In this second edition of her bestselling book, ADHD expert Cindy Goldrich offers compassionate, science-backed tools to help parents support their child’s growth in patience, communication, emotional regulation, and independence.With fresh insights, expanded strategies and current research, this update emphasises the crucial role of executive function, elaborates on important conversations parents should have with their children and offers thoughts on helping children transition into post–high school life. With approachable action items and prompts, caregivers are guided through eight key concepts: getting educated, creating calm, strengthening connections, cultivating good communication, teaching collaboration, achieving clarity and consistency, setting impactful consequences, and navigating choices.Here parents will discover why traditional discipline often backfires, and learn how to foster the skills kids truly need to succeed—using empathy, collaboration, and practical solutions.
