Does this sound like your child?
- Pulls you into arguments where nothing gets resolved
- Uncooperative at home but cooperative everywhere else
- Tries to avoid anything uninteresting to them
- Has a hard time hearing no, won't let things go
- Can become physically aggressive toward family members when they don't get what they want
Â
- Blames others when things don't go their way
- Can be inflexible, says "no" to anything new or unfamiliar
- Treats family members poorly then acts as if nothing happened
- Makes threats when upset or angry
- Can be destructive when they don't get their way
These aren't character flaws. They are common patterns in families of ADHD kids when effective strategies aren't in place to help your child realize how capable they are.

Capable and Confident

Scaffolding
Better Behavior
Parent Behavior Training for ages 8–17 — based on the approach recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics for improving behavior and cooperation in kids with ADHD.

Creating Daily Expectations
(courses based on age)
Learn how to replace arguing, nagging, and threats of punishment with clear, consistent expectations that improve cooperation at home.
This course helps parents establish structure and follow-through, so kids contribute more, and family life feels calmer and more respectful.
Different versions of the course are available for specific age ranges as your child grows.
Socially
Smarter
Help your child improve social awareness by learning to understand others’ thoughts, recognize how they come across to peers, and sustain friendships over time.
This course focuses on building perspective-taking and awareness skills that form the foundation for lasting social connections.
Executive Function Crash Course

These targeted, evidence-informed tools help parents improve follow-through, build time awareness, and make transitions easier, especially away from preferred activities like screens.
What Parents and Professionals Are SayingÂ
Hear from parents who’ve seen real changes at home and professionals who trust the Confident Parents, Capable Kids method in their work with families.Â
"...We started down this ADHD path 7 years ago with our son and have spent countless dollars, time and frustration on all the treatments you mention do not work. Since implementing your recommendations we have seen positive growth in our son... I am also a Nurse Practitioner and have been spreading your info to any and all who will listen to me. Thank you for what you do!"
"We recently started watching your videos, and after years of meeting with therapists, finally feel like we’ve found someone who resonates with us and our concerns about our son's functioning in reality. Can’t wait to learn more!!"
"What I appreciate about you most is you tell exactly what needs to be done. I’ve learned so much over the years about WHY my son struggles but I feel no one can tell me what specifically I need to do in order to help him. You give very clear, tangible practices…I feel like I’ve been screaming for someone to just tell me what it is I need to do. Very, very excited about all of it."
"Ryan, I just want you to know that I am a Community Paediatrician in the UK and I prescribe extensively for ADHD. I am also a mum to a boy with ADHD and I find your advice is spot on. I signpost my patients to your resources."

If you’re raising a child with ADHD, you’ve probably been given advice that sounds compassionate — but doesn’t change behavior. You’re not alone in feeling frustrated or unsure what to try next.
