Children & Teen Coaching
ADHD doesn't have to define your child's story. With the right coaching, kids and teens learn to work with their brain — building confidence, skills, and a path forward.
Why Children and Teens with ADHD Need Specialized Support
Children and teenagers with ADHD face challenges that go far beyond staying seated in class. They struggle with planning, remembering instructions, managing emotions, and keeping up with the social demands of school — all while trying to figure out who they are. Standard academic support rarely addresses the underlying executive function deficits that make everything harder.
ADD Action Coach Inc. works directly with children and teens to build the skills that school doesn't teach: how to organize their time, manage frustration, break big tasks into steps, and advocate for themselves. We also work closely with parents to create consistent support at home that reinforces what we build in sessions.

Common Challenges We Address
“My son was failing seventh grade and completely shut down about school. After just a few months of coaching with Christine, he started turning in his work, his grades came up, and — most importantly — he stopped saying he was stupid. The change in his confidence has been remarkable.”
— Parent of a 7th grade student, Nashville, TN
How Coaching Works
Free Consultation
We start with a no-obligation phone call with parents to understand your child's situation, their specific challenges, and whether coaching is the right fit right now.
Personalized Plan
Every child is different. We build a coaching plan around your child's age, school demands, and the challenges that are most affecting their daily life and confidence.
Regular Sessions
Coaching sessions — by phone or Zoom — give your child a consistent, supportive relationship with a coach who understands ADHD and knows how to make progress feel possible.
Family Support
Parents are partners in the process. We keep you informed, give you practical strategies to use at home, and adjust the plan as your child grows and their needs change.
