    A New Way Forward for ADHD in 2026: Cognitive Ergonomics, Motivation & Kindness with Jeff Copper

    Welcome to Season 2 of The Way Forward – A Kindness Mission, presented by Anthony’s Way – The Road to Kindness. We’re honored to open the new season with a deeply meaningful conversation featuring Jeff Copper — ADHD coach, founder of DIG Coaching Practice, host of Attention Talk Radio and Attention Talk Video, and a long-time supporter of Anthony’s Way - The Road to Kindness. As we step into a new year, this episode asks an important question: What can be different in 2026 for kids, teens, and families navigating ADHD — and how do we make it better? Jeff brings clarity, compassion, and hope as he introduces his groundbreaking approach, Cognitive Ergonomics: From the Inside Out®, and his New Motivational Theory to Restore Equilibrium, models that helps families move away from blame, shame, and constant correction — and toward environments that truly support the ADHD brain and motivation! In this conversation, we explore how ADHD is not a lack of effort or motivation, but a mismatch between internal state and external demands. Jeff explains why kids with ADHD often know what to do but struggle to execute in the moment,  and how redesigning support can reduce overwhelm, impulsivity, and emotional distress. This episode is especially meaningful to us, as impulsivity and emotional overwhelm are realities many families face, and understanding them better can save lives. Jeff’s insights align deeply with the mission of Anthony’s Way - The Road to Kindness: to meet kids where they are, lead with kindness, and build support systems that help them thrive. If you’re a parent, caregiver, educator, or someone living with ADHD, this conversation offers reassurance, direction, and tools you can use immediately. For more information on Jeff Copper's Cognitive Ergonomics: From the Inside Out, you can find this in our ADHD Summit recording on our home page!  Here is the link to our ADHD Summit:  The Way Forward ADHD Summit Learn more about Anthony’s Way – The Road to Kindness https://www.anthonysroadtokindness.com/ Connect with Jeff Copper https://digcoaching.com/ https://attentiontalkradio.com/ If this episode resonated with you, please subscribe, like, and share it with someone who may need it.
