Problem Solving: Why Your Child Gets Stuck — and How to Help Them Move Thro

When your child hits a new challenge and freezes, melts down, or gives up entirely — that's usually not a behavior problem. It's a problem-solving gap. And for outside-the-box kids, generating solutions under pressure can feel genuinely impossible — not because they won't, but because their brains aren't getting the support they need to work through it. In this session, Lily Baiser, MS, OTR/L and Jill Gitten Aloia, PhD, ABPP-CN break down the neuroscience of problem-solving, why flexibility and persistence are so hard for kids with ADHD, autism, and executive function differences — and how to build these skills at home without power struggles.

After the talk, we'll open the floor to a live parent community Q&A — bring your specific scenarios and the moments that have you stumped. This session is part of Kinspire's Executive Function series, designed to give parents real knowledge — not just tips — so you can understand what's happening in your child's brain and respond with confidence.
