Many neurodivergent kids thrive on routine, but still shut down when demands pile up. The goal isn’t strict structure, it’s balanced structure.⁠
⁠
Flexibility gives them room to breathe; predictability gives them room to succeed.⁠

Parenting a superfeeler requires capacity, patience, and emotional bandwidth. It’s okay if you’re tired. It’s okay if you need breaks.⁠
⁠
Your child’s sensitivity isn’t your failure and your exhaustion isn’t either. You’re learning this together.⁠

Superfeelers absorb the world deeply. Winter can amplify that... emotions feel heavier, transitions feel sharper, and rest feels harder to access.⁠
⁠
Meeting them with understanding instead of urgency supports their regulation more than you realize.⁠

Eating struggles often begin when kids feel powerless, stressed, or overstimulated. Food can become a coping strategy, a way to create predictability when emotions feel chaotic.⁠
⁠
Understanding how best to support your child to ensure their health and well-being is the first step.⁠

Evenings can be tough for ADHD kids because winding down requires skills their brain struggles with.⁠
⁠
Think: clear transitions, slower pacing, predictable steps, sensory-friendly routines, and support before dysregulation shows up. Nighttime goes smoother when we honour how their nervous system shifts from high stimulation to rest.⁠

There isn’t one right way to calm down. For some, it’s deep pressure or movement. For others, it’s solitude, creativity, or sound.⁠
⁠
What soothes one child may overwhelm another and that’s okay! The goal is to help each nervous system find what safety feels like for them.⁠

Paying attention in class is a full-body effort for so many kids.⁠ For neurodivergent learners especially, participation isn’t just about confidence, it’s about timing, regulation, and feeling safe enough to engage.⁠
⁠
If your child tries, falters, or needs extra cues, it's their nervous system doing the heavy lifting beneath the surface.⁠ ⁠
⁠
More on this (and practical parent strategies) in our January 19 workshop this coming Monday. Register online!⁠

When emotions run high, our instinct is to fix it... to reason, explain, or problem-solve. But a dysregulated brain can’t process logic. It can only feel.⁠
⁠
Before trying to correct or teach, help your child’s body calm down (yours too!) Once the nervous system feels safe, the lesson will land naturally.⁠

Mornings are hard for ADHD brains — not because kids aren’t trying, but because their nervous system is still “booting up.”⁠
⁠
Small, consistent supports make a big difference: predictable routines, visual checklists, gentle transitions, and movement before focus.⁠
The goal isn’t a perfect morning. It’s giving their brain the structure it needs to land softly in the day.⁠
⁠
If executive functioning challenges are showing up at home, our January 19 parent workshop may be supportive.⁠ Register online, the link is in our bio!⁠
