🧩 October is ADHD Awareness Month
Parenting a child with ADHD can feel like trying to guide a storm — equal parts wild energy and breathtaking potential.

“Parenting a child with ADHD means learning to see the world through their eyes, not just expecting them to see it through yours.”
— Dr. Sharon Saline

And as Dr. Ned Hallowell reminds us, “The key is connection, not control.”

When parents shift from trying to manage every behavior to understanding what’s happening underneath — emotion, frustration, effort, fatigue — kids start to feel seen instead of “fixed.” That’s when growth happens.

At Prairie View Counseling, we help parents and kids build tools for communication, structure, and grace — without losing the connection that matters most.

If you’re looking for guidance or want to learn more, explore our ADHD resources and request an appointment directly through our website:

It was a fantastic and really hot night at the Leawood Pediatrics Flu Shot and Fun Night! Many fidgets were given away and we had a winner in our gibbon.usa Giboard raffle!

While not too many people played Corn hole on my freshly wrapped boards, the kids had fun climbing all over them and the wraps from ktco****lewraps held up great!

October is ADHD Awareness Month.
One myth we hear all the time: “ADHD is just about focus.”

The truth? ADHD is about how the brain manages attention, emotions, and executive functioning. That means things like time management, motivation, organization, and even regulating big feelings—not just “paying attention.”

At Prairie View Counseling, we specialize in helping teens, adults, and families understand ADHD, build strategies that work in real life, and find ways to thrive.

If you or someone you love has questions about ADHD, you don’t have to sort through it alone.

Ever told your teen to “just focus”?
If only it worked that way.

ADHD doesn’t come from a lack of effort. It’s about how the brain manages executive functions—things like planning, memory, and transitions.

With the right strategies, kids (and parents) don’t just get by. They can Focus. Thrive. Grow.

Today we remember.

On this Memorial Day, we honor the men and women who gave their lives in service to our country.

Some people are afraid of hurdles… and according to this totally scientific study, 9 out of 10 never get over it.

But let’s be honest—we all have hurdles.

Maybe it’s trauma.
Maybe it’s family-of-origin stuff.
Maybe it’s the chaos of parenting, or the heartbreak of broken relationships.
Maybe it's the daily struggle of living with ADHD—yours, your kid’s, or both.

As Mental Health Awareness Month wraps up, this is your nudge:
You don’t have to face it all alone.

Whether you're trying to make sense of the past, navigate the present, or just feel like yourself again—counseling can help.

Midweek appointments available now.
Let’s take the first step together at prairieviewcounselingkc.com

Let’s work together to finally get over it.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month—and a reminder that caring for your mental health is just as important as caring for your body.

This weekend, I took the dogs out on the Cedar Niles trail. About halfway through, one of them just hit a wall. She stopped walking. Four times. She was tired, overwhelmed, and needed a little encouragement to keep moving. Sound familiar?

Sometimes life hits us the same way. Marriage gets hard. Parenting feels impossible. ADHD, anxiety, burnout—it can all pile up. A good walk and some fresh air can help, but sometimes you need more. You need a place to talk, to process, to breathe again.

If you’re feeling stuck, I’m here. I’m currently accepting new clients—teens, adults, and parents of kids with ADHD. Let’s figure it out together.

Swipe to see a pediatrician I’m proud of.

Dr. Megan Loeb (aka my wife) was quoted in a Johnson County Post article about the recent measles outbreak and why more families are getting their kids’ MMR booster early.

She said:
“We want families to feel like we’re a person that both has knowledge and that they trust.”
That’s exactly who she is.

MMR saves lives. Talk to your doctor. Protect your kids. Protect your community.
