ABOUT
Concentration difficulties and ADHD: we’re here to help.
Overwhelmed.
This is a word any parent who has a child with ADHD will know well. And it’s not just kids who are overwhelmed in a world filled with constant distraction – it can be just as hard for parents to figure out what to focus on when it comes to helping their children cope with this sometimes baffling topic.
Often there’s too much information – and usually you don’t know what’s credible, trustworthy facts – and there’s just too little time to figure it out. That’s why we’re here to help.
In February 2021 Huisgenoot, YOU and DRUM will host the Your Child Conference to tackle the topic of how to best deal with ADHD.
The innovative event will address issues related to coping with the topic and has separate sessions for younger kids and teens.
You’ll have all the experts in one room to help answer your burning questions – and there will be practical exercises to help you cope. Experts in the ADHD field, including psychologists, a paediatrician and a dietician, will demystify information and provide you with practical guidelines on how you can empower yourself and your child.
