✨ For the parents raising little ones who feel the world so deeply… I see you. ✨
This week I’ve watched my little girl with ADHD navigate what feels like every emotion under the sun — frustration, overwhelm, joy, exhaustion, excitement that turns to tears in a heartbeat. And as her mum (and someone with ADHD myself), it hits differently.
Because I don’t just see her big emotions… I remember them.
I feel them in my bones.
I know exactly what it’s like when your brain moves fast but your world feels too loud.
When your heart is huge but your coping skills are tiny.
When you want so badly to do the “right” thing, but your body reacts before you can catch it.
And watching her struggle isn’t easy.
But watching her try, over and over again, that’s where the magic is.
That’s where I see her strength, her softness, her courage, her beautiful neurospicy brain doing the best it can with what it has today.
To the parents who get it…
To the ones riding the waves of big emotions, meltdowns, sensory overload, and those moments where you just don’t know what to do next — please know you’re not alone.
You’re doing an amazing job.
Your child isn’t “too much.”
Their feelings aren’t “wrong.”
And you’re not failing — you’re learning together.
There is so much beauty in raising a child who feels the world intensely.
And there is so much healing in being the parent who understands that intensity firsthand.
Here’s to our emotional, passionate, fiercely loving ADHD kids.
And here’s to us — the parents teaching them regulation, patience, compassion, and self-acceptance… even on the hard weeks. 💛
