Many parents tell me this is the week things unravel a little more at home. After days of holding it together, socially, emotionally, cognitively, children often release that effort where it’s safest. At home. Children are often tired being back at school - I can see it with my own two boys... T...

When motivation dips... 🥹

I am feeling it this week... That quiet dip in energy.The resistance that wasn’t there before.The sense that even small things feel harder to begin.

September is coming… but let’s not overhype it

To my wonderful Neurodiversity Parents, Every year, September seems to carry this big build-up. Shops filled with uniforms, endless conversations about “back-to-school,” and social media lists of 101 things you should be doing right now.

Gentle doesn’t mean passive, it means attuned 💛 Hi neurodiversity parents, I am starting to use this term more now, because I am seeing the benefit of using a neurodiversity (brain-body informed) parenting approach with lots of the families myself and our team are working with. It is really...

It's RDS Week!

Hi {{ first_name }}, So, this is a seriously big week for me... and it has been a journey getting here. I am jumping in the RDS again for the first time since I was 15 years of age (yep, that's more than 2 decades ago, it's been 24 years actually!) As a child, I did a lot of horse-riding, sho...
