On this episode of the Soaring Child podcast, we had a conversation with Cindy Goldrich. Cindy is a mental health counselor, certified ADHD Clinical Service Provider, and teacher trainer. As a teacher trainer, she holds a big responsibility in training teachers how to properly work with kids with ADHD and other disabilities.

We dive into topics such as what the first steps are in teaching how to help with emotional kids, understanding key elements of working memory, and the importance of using simple steps when teaching. Above all, patience is the most important component of working with emotional kids. Dealing with ADHD can be tough, so it\u2019s very important that parents maintain a close relationship with their child\u2019s teacher to make sure they are following the proper steps.

Memorable quotes:

\u201cThe first thing I want teachers to understand is what it\u2019s like to be this child. What it\u2019s like to be this child in the classroom.\u201d

\xa0\u201cWhether the teacher is a kindergarten teacher or a middle school teacher or a high school teacher, I think it\u2019s really important for them to have that understanding so that they can work more fairly with the student.\u201d

\xa0\u201cOne of the first things I do is help them understand executive functioning for all people, because we all have executive functioning.\u201d

\u201cWhen people ask me what I do for a living, I say I manage parental anxiety. I help teachers calm their class down.\u201d

\u201cI really help teachers and parents understand how to empower their students so they feel like they have a role and a responsibility for what's going on in their lives.\u201d

\u201cWhat I think teachers need to do is teach everybody how the brain works, and that some people\u2019s brains get more activated when they move.\u201d

\u201cThey actually found that chewing gum for some kids will help them do better on a test.\u201d
