In this Event:

If you’ve ever wondered why your ADHD child can hyper-focus on Minecraft for hours but can’t find their shoes, or why mornings feel like Groundhogs Day, this workshop is for you. We’ll unpack the unspoken symptoms of ADHD, superpowers that ADHD-ers bring to the table, and simple, steady ways to parent without nagging, shaming, or losing your cool.


About the Speakers:
Samantha Straub, M.S., LCPC, is a parenting coach, licensed counselor, long-time educator, and founder of Teen Savvy Coaching where she helps parents of teens and tweens communicate more effectively, reduce household chaos, and raise resilient, emotionally healthy kids.
Dr. Melissa Wellner is a child and adolescent and adult psychiatrist and owner of Annapolis Psychiatry, where she provides compassionate, evidenced-based, patient-centered psychiatric care.
Together, Sam and Melissa co-host the Parenting Shrink Wrapped podcast, where they bring humor, compassion, and real-world wisdom to every conversation about parenting through childhood and adolescence.
