Your child’s self-regulation starts at home, early, through your understanding and support. Taking action now can help your family mitigate many predictable challenges before they escalate -saving everyone time, energy, and stress during the busy, often turbulent teen years when demands and resistance tend to peak.
Working together is a proactive and purposeful choice: not waiting or hoping that school or others will manage challenges, or that your child will simply outgrow them. There is so much you can do, especially when you start early, when kids are young, look up to you, and enjoy your company.
"I wish I learned this years ago," is the most common response.
​Whether you prefer one-on-one coaching or a small group of dads, this is your chance to get real tools, connect, and even enjoy the process.
The PAUSE People system is practical, uplifting, and aligns with CDC and pediatric recommendations for early and effective support for kids and families with ADD.

Why the CDC recommends a good coach...
​​​​​"Experts recommend that healthcare providers refer parents of children younger than 12 years old for training in behavior therapy. When parents become trained in behavior therapy, they learn skills and strategies to help their child with ADHD succeed at school, at home, and in relationships. Learning and practicing behavior therapy requires time and effort, but it has lasting benefits for the child and the family."

November 2025 Cohort 3 participants shared:
-
"If you are at a place where you feel overwhelmed or alone in parenting a child with ADHD, this space will provide you with tools to implement immediately, and connect you with a mindset that will help you to feel confident in your parenting responses, after you felt like you lost hope."
-
"It is a very supportive, fun and engaging space to learn and share real parenting scenarios."
-
"I would say it really helps me understand my son in a different way and empowers me as a parent to help him in ways where I previously felt more helpless."
-
"First of all, I was so happy I was in this group of like-minded parents, sharing things which two years ago I thought,'what am I doing wrong?’ On Thursday, even if I don’t have all the solutions, it felt so much easier and lighter."
-
"The power of choice... the choice to PAUSE, was so present and powerful through the whole cohort experience. This was the most helpful reminder to me, that I can slow down"
