PAUSE at Home:
You Know Something Needs to Shift. Let’s Figure Out What.
1:1 coaching for parents and guardians navigating ADHD at home — built on the PAUSE People System, grounded in 30 years of experience, and designed around the real moments that define life with a neurodiverse child.
This is parent coaching on its own — no student sessions attached. If your child needs coaching too, EF Launchpad and Ongoing Coaching both include parent support built in.

You’re Doing a Lot. And It’s Still Hard.
At work, you know what to do. At home, it can feel like walking through a minefield.
You’ve read the books. You’ve tried the strategies. You’ve adjusted the routines and had the same conversation with your child more times than you can count.
And yet — mornings are still rough. Homework is still a battle. The friction is still there.
Somewhere underneath the exhaustion, you’re wondering whether what you’re doing is actually helping or just getting everyone through the day.
That’s not a parenting failure. That’s what it looks like when a family is working hard without the right framework. That’s exactly what this is for.
A Place to Practice
We ask kids to try new things without fear of getting it wrong. Parents deserve the same. Sessions are private, judgment-free, and often funny. We bring silly to the serious, because laughter and play help regulate the nervous system, yours and your child’s.
Three months, 3 hours of focused, flexible 1:1 coaching built around your family, your child, and the specific patterns you most want to shift.
PAUSE People System Deep Dive · 1 hour · 1:1 with Dan via Google Meet or Live in Kentfield
The foundation of everything. A focused session introducing the PAUSE framework — helping you understand your child’s nervous system, your own patterns of reactivity, and how small intentional shifts in you create real change at home. You’ll leave with tools you can use the same week.
Scheduled & On-Demand 1:1 Coaching with Dan · same or next day · via Google Meet or Live in Kentfield · 2 hours
Real situations don’t wait for scheduled appointments. The school called. The morning fell apart. A conversation escalated and you’re not sure what just happened. Dan is the support that meets you there — practical, experienced, and specific to your family. Not a check-in two weeks from now. Right when you need it.

What It Feels Like
Fewer battles in the moments that used to escalate. A shared family language you and your partner both use. More laughter, more teamwork, and going to bed feeling good about how you showed up.

Meet PAUSE People, a Parent Coaching system I built with Yulia Rafailova, combining our 45+ years of experience with neurodiverse kids into something parents can actually use.
If you have a child with ADHD between ages 6 and 12, this is for you: less friction at home, more trust between you and your child, and tools that work in real life.
