Creating Calm is an online course that is designed to teach you science-backed, step-by-step strategies to help you confidently parent your child (aged 4-11) with ADHD. We have created a series of short videos that you can watch from the comfort of your own home. You and your partner can learn together, no babysitter needed!
We want you to embrace each step of your parenting journey and find joy and connection with your child.
Remember, you are a wonderful parent right now!
And you are the best person to help your child with ADHD succeed and thrive… even when it doesn’t feel like it!
You’re in the right place.
We are going to tell you exactly how Creating Calm will give you the tools, inspiration, and support you need to find joy and confidence in parenting your child with ADHD.
Before we spill all the life-changing deets of this course, let’s talk about you…
You are madly in love with your child with ADHD but having days where—well, you want to crawl into a hole and hide. You are frustrated and some days you feel like you are failing as a parent. And to top it off, you’re getting lots of advice, and sometimes criticism, from family and friends about your parenting.
Please hear us, you’re not doing anything wrong. Actually, the fact that you are reading this page and seeking out this information tells us how much you care about your child.
Whether you are here because...
You are tired.
You realize that the parenting strategies most people use aren’t effective for your child. You are ready to learn new tools for success.
You are motivated.
You need to get off of your child’s 24/7 emotional roller coaster and help them learn strategies to manage big feelings.
You feel disconnected.
You want to spend less time correcting and more time connecting with your child. You are ready to find joy in parenting again.
"I have read extensively on ADHD and I knew a lot of the science you are sharing, but most books stop there, and you are left trying to figure out how to meet all these needs. Your course puts everything together, with lots of empathy and step by step actions for parents to help us scaffold these amazing kids. It feels like someone understands and has your back. So, so helpful. It has really helped my own mental health as well. Thanks again, it is just a great course."

Frequently Asked Questions
This is a great course if:
- You have a newly diagnosed child with ADHD.
- Your child is aged 4-11 years.
- You are seeking new tools and strategies to proactively support your child.
- You are ready to carve out the time needed to create and implement new strategies.
- Your child does not have significant defiant or aggressive behaviors that result in harm to themselves or others. We recommend you seek out a professional to work 1:1 to help you if this sounds like your family.
We are not going to lie - making lasting change does take time and effort. Many parents don’t realize exactly how many minutes, hours, and days they already spend redirecting, correcting, and trying to manage huge emotional meltdowns.
Though the strategies we teach take some time upfront to implement, we are certain that you will absolutely gain that time back (and more!) by reducing the time you spend on putting out fires.
Plus, you might just get your sanity back, and who doesn’t have time for that!?
There are a total of 26 lessons in the course. Each of the 6 modules includes 3-6 lessons. The lessons are short and easy to complete.
You will also have access to our bonus digital toolkit, which is packed full of content, pre-made tools, and strategies you can come back to over and over!
We are two child psychologists and a speech language pathologist, but most importantly, we are mamas just like you! We have 40+ years of combined experience working with children and families with ADHD, autism, and learning and language differences.
Everything we teach comes from our experiences as mamas and professionals.
Let’s work together as a team to help your child thrive!
You’ll be given access to a new module each week.
We want you to have time to dive into the lessons, make a plan, and implement our strategies BEFORE moving on to the next week.
Each module builds on prior skills, so it is important that you complete them in the order we have laid out for you.
It's ok to go at your own pace!
We do this to protect your time, attention, and focus while sparing you from the intense overwhelm that stops most already-overwhelmed parents in their tracks.
We will provide general troubleshooting and support via email if you have questions or get stuck during the course.
However, due to our psychology and speech pathology licenses, we are unable to provide consultation on your child’s specific behaviors.
These rules exist in your best interest. We would be doing your family a disservice if we attempted to provide consultation or therapeutic services without knowing your child and family well, as a psychologist, speech language pathologist, therapist, or counselor would.
Once you purchase the course, you will have lifetime access. So you can take your time in completing the course. You can also come back to it again and again as your child’s needs evolve.

We personally cannot wait to guide you over these next 6 weeks…
We are two child psychologists and a speech language pathologist who have spent a combined over 40+ years working with families just like yours.
This course was born out of our experience working with families who were feeling overwhelmed following a diagnosis and confused about where to start. We saw a need for parents to have accessible (online, can be done anywhere, no babysitter needed!) training in science-backed interventions to support their child with ADHD at home.
If you are a parent of a child with ADHD who is feeling deeply overwhelmed right now, you owe it to at least take a risk-free plunge to see if you can become the ADHD advocate for your child we know you were meant to be.
Should you choose to accept our invitation, we know that over the next 6 weeks you will gain confidence to manage challenging behaviors and re-connect with your child.
We look forward to meeting you personally inside of Creating Calm!
