In this episode of The Way Forward – A Kindness Mission, Tony and Cassi Bellezza sit down with two compassionate experts—Meghan Shapiro of Different Path Mental Wellness and Lauren Francis of Chrysalis Center NC—to help parents answer one of the biggest questions: “Does my child have ADHD?”

From recognizing early signs to exploring therapeutic options, this conversation offers a practical, judgment-free roadmap for families beginning (or navigating) an ADHD journey.

Together, they explore:

• How to identify if your child may have ADHD

• Common behaviors to look for at different ages

• Therapies and strategies that can support your child’s growth

• How parents can advocate for their child at school and home

• Tips for building a support system that actually works

• A brief and thoughtful discussion around medication—including how to connect with professionals and make the best decisions based on your child’s individual needs

Whether you’re just beginning to ask questions or looking for guidance along the way, Meghan and Lauren share insights grounded in experience, empathy, and action. This is a must-watch for any caregiver supporting a neurodivergent child.
