Brightmont Academy Speaker Series

In this informative session of the Brightmont Academy Speaker Series, we are joined by Griffin Rouse, ADHD coach with High Sierra Coaching, for a practical and compassionate conversation on understanding ADHD and supporting the children and families it affects.

Griffin brings both professional expertise and personal experience to this discussion. Diagnosed with ADHD himself, he draws on years of coaching work to help kids, parents, and families navigate the unique challenges ADHD can present. He offers parents, educators, and professionals practical, real-world strategies for helping children stay on track and build confidence.


In this session, Griffin discusses:

  • What ADHD really is, how it manifests, and why children behave the way they do
  • Common challenges such as procrastination, perfectionism, emotional outbursts, and overwhelm — for both parents and kids
  • Proven strategies to help your child stay on track, build confidence, and achieve their goals
  • Tools for preserving family relationships and maintaining calm and balance at home
  • Real-life case studies and answers to everyday questions, from academic struggles to managing big emotions


This conversation is designed to empower families with the knowledge and tools they need to understand ADHD, support their child with confidence, and foster a calmer, more balanced home.
