For parents of a child with ADHD
Understand your child. Calm the hard moments. Feel like yourself again.
Beside is the calm companion that gives you one small, grounded thing each day, for the morning, the homework, the meltdown, the bedtime, so the moments that keep going wrong slowly get lighter.
Free to start. No account needed to feel it work. Available worldwide.
The real problem
You donât have too few tips. You have too many, and none of them fit this moment.
Ten open tabs, three half-read books, a head full of loose advice that all evaporates the second things go wrong. What youâre missing isnât information. Itâs something that knows your child, remembers what you tried, and puts the next step ready before the hard moment arrives.
The change Beside makes
Understanding, then grip, then confidence.
In that order. Not a compliment that fades, but a shift you feel over weeks.
Understanding
See the behaviour that looks like defiance for what it usually is: a brain whose brakes are still catching up. Understanding is where the guilt starts to lift.
Grip
The morning, the homework, the meltdown, each becomes a moment you walk into with a plan instead of panic. Small things that work for your child, built up over time.
Confidence
Fewer evenings spent blaming yourself. A quiet, growing sense that you know your child and youâve got this, because youâve seen it work with your own eyes.
What it does
A calm surface with a real engine underneath.
One thing a day
Open the app and see a single, doable thing for todayâs hardest moment, with an image and one sentence. Ten seconds to understand, one tap to try.
Help right now
One button for the moment itâs falling apart. Breathe first, then two things you can actually do while itâs happening. No paragraphs to read.
A picture of your child
A warm, growing portrait that fills itself in from what you already do. No forms. Proof, in your hand, that the app is truly learning your child.
A path, not a tip
Each moment has a quiet track underneath that builds over weeks, from putting out fires to preventing them. It remembers what worked and never nags what didnât.
Grounded in real guidance
Every piece is anchored in parent-training programmes and guidance from the CDC, AAP and NICE, reviewed by a child psychologist before launch.
No streaks, no guilt
Miss a day and nothing punishes you. Beside stands beside you, it never tugs at you. Honest support, not manipulation.
Built on what works
Trusted approaches, made small and daily.
âFor the first time, the morning had a plan instead of a fight. I wasnât chasing him, I was ready.â
âIt didnât give me a lecture. It gave me one thing, and it was the right thing for my kid.â
âI stopped feeling like I was failing him. I started to understand him.â
Parent stories will appear here once Beside is in the hands of families.
Honest about medication. Honest about evidence.
ADHD & medication
Beside makes parents more skilled with behavioural strategies, the approach guidelines recommend first for young children. It is respectful and neutral about medication: that is a decision for you and your doctor, and Beside never leans against it.
Where the help comes from
Every piece of help is anchored in established parent-training programmes (PMT, PCIT, Triple P, Incredible Years) and the framework of Russell Barkley, with guidance from the CDC, AAP and NICE. A child psychologist reviews the library before launch.
