This week’s guest is Cindy Goldrich. This is a good one, guys. It’s for everyone, but especially for parents! Cindy is a mental health counselor who works nationally with parents, teachers, and counselors, and has written the book “* Keys for Parenting Children with ADHD.”

Her basic premise here is that pills don’t teach skills, and medication, while not bad, isn’t for everyone, and certainly shouldn’t be a first line of defense. Take a listen. I’m thrilled with this interview.

In this episode, Peter and Cindy discuss:

• Is ADHD a weakness (02:01)
• Cindy’s story (02:56)
• Types of clients (03:31)
• Teachers, schools and medication (05:45)
• Working with teachers (08:59)
• Food and physical activity (10:41)
• Tips for diagnosed (12:08)
• The transitional process (13:41)
• Unknown facts about ADHD (14:13)
• Not being heard (16:12)
