You don’t choose your parenting style when things are easy - you reveal it when they’re not. In this session, Dr. Stephen Hinshaw, one of the world’s leading ADHD researchers, shows how fear quietly shapes the way we parent, and how those patterns ripple through a child’s regulation. Because raising a child with ADHD starts with understanding the parent you became before you even had one.

In this session, Dr. Peg Dawson - bestselling author of "Smart but Scattered" and one of the world’s leading experts on executive function - reveals why lectures don’t build skills, they build resistance. With four decades of experience, Dr. Peg teaches how to let go without giving up, so your child (and you) can finally grow together, not apart.

We’ve built a world designed to protect our children from pain; and yet, they’ve never been more anxious or dysregulated. Psychoanalyst Erica Komisar exposes the hidden paradox of modern parenting: how safety without presence breeds insecurity, and how love without attunement leaves children feeling unseen.

You can’t rush a child into readiness, and you can’t shame them into growth. In this session, Dr. Richard Guare shows why some ADHD kids grow in loops, not lines, and how pushing them to keep pace with “normal” only holds them back. He brilliantly explains how real growth doesn’t follow a schedule; it begins when a child finally feels safe enough to unfold.

Genes matter. But mood writes the margins. Dr. Andrea Chronis-Tuscano, world-renowned ADHD researcher, shows how the most powerful intervention isn’t medication or therapy - it’s maternal regulation. She breaks down how calm stabilizes structure, how structure sustains calm, and how treating the parent’s ADHD can alter a child’s developmental trajectory within months.

In a world obsessed with control, Dr. Stephen Cowan offers rhythm. A Pediatrician turned healer, he shows why ADHD isn’t a failure of focus but a reflection of imbalance. Drawing from the Five Phase Model, he helps parents see the Wood child’s restlessness, the Fire child’s passion, the Water child’s wonder - not as problems, but as maps back to balance.

Dr. Salif's brain doesn’t think in straight lines; it erupts in sparks. In this session, the TEDx phenomenon and Cognitive Psychologist pulls back the curtain on what ADHD attention really feels like - the rush, the overload, the magic. He shows why distraction is often disguised curiosity, and how the very mind that struggles to focus can also light up the world.

She’s quiet. She’s polite. She never causes trouble - and that’s exactly why no one notices she’s drowning. In this session, Pippa brilliantly exposes the hidden face of ADHD in girls. Drawing from her own late diagnosis and decades of experience, she reveals how “good behavior” can become a survival strategy and how to spot the cracks before they become collapse.

They tell you to play more - as if play is easy. But ADHD can turn play into performance, pressure, even pain. Dr. Kim exposes the truth parents whisper in private: sometimes play feels unbearable. She explains what that really means for your child’s nervous system, and how to repair the bond without forcing joy or faking fun.
