Join us at our launch webinar where our guest speaker, Dr Dan Shapiro, a renowned US Developmental-Behavioural Pediatrician and Creator of Parent Child Journey, tackles the hot button issue of ADHD medication for children - a struggle that parents commonly face when their child is diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).

While medication is routinely prescribed by many doctors for managing ADHD due to its known effectiveness for some symptoms, there can be side effects such as decreased appetite, irritability, and insomnia. As a result, many parents feel concerned about how it would affect their child’s life.
