Did you know that L-tyrosine is an amino acid found in protein-rich foods and is used by the body to help make dopamine and noradrenaline?
For people with ADHD, that does not mean food is a cure — but it does mean that regular meals with protein can be one helpful part of supporting focus, steadier energy, and emotional regulation.
Think foods like:
🥚 Eggs
🐟 Fish
🍗 Chicken
🧀 Dairy
🫘 Beans and lentils
🌱 Seeds
🥛 Soy
When ADHD meets hunger, stress, poor sleep, or overwhelm, everything can feel bigger. Sometimes the basics matter more than people realise.
Food is support, not a magic fix.

Ever seen a child go from calm… to overwhelmed in seconds?
That’s not “bad behaviour.”
That’s RSD.
Their brain is saying:
👉 “I’m not safe”
👉 “I’ve done something wrong”
My books help children understand:
💛 Why it happens
💛 What to do
💛 That they are NOT the problem

“Matilda got it right… didn’t she?” 📚

We all love Matilda.
A little girl, lost in books, teaching herself, thriving in her own world of curiosity and imagination.

But here’s the part that should make us pause…

Why does it still feel like, for so many children, school looks more like Miss Trunchbull’s classroom than Matilda’s world of learning?

Somewhere along the way, learning became:
• controlled
• measured
• standardised
• and, for many children… something to endure rather than enjoy

Children are expected to sit still, stay quiet, and fit a system that often wasn’t designed with them in mind.

And when they can’t?

They’re labelled.
They’re corrected.
… they’re punished.

But here’s the truth:

Children don’t need controlling.
They need understanding.

They don’t need to be forced into learning.
They need to be inspired into it.

Reading books doesn’t make a child intelligent on its own.
Homeschooling doesn’t magically create success.

What does make the difference is:
• curiosity
• connection
• feeling safe
• feeling seen
• and actually wanting to learn

There are incredible teachers out there, the ones who:
• build relationships first
• adapt to the child, not the other way round
• bring learning to life
• and make children feel capable

But there are also environments where control is still mistaken for structure.

And that’s where we lose children.

School should not feel like a prison.
It should feel like a place children are excited to go.
A place where they can explore, question, move, create, and be themselves.

Because when a child feels safe and engaged…

Learning doesn’t need to be forced. It happens naturally.

We don’t need more control.
We need more connection.

Our next meeting: TONIGHT!!! 🗓️

Free of charge, just turn up 💜

~ Bucks New University want your views on their new fidget toy! ~

We’re excited to welcome a special guest Katie, who is currently conducting a study to see whether a newly designed fidget device can help adults with ADHD.

The research focuses mainly in areas such as clumsiness/ falling over and depression and or anxiety.

Katie and her team will be bringing this fidget toy along to the meeting for us to see and try.

In the meantime, they’ve shared a short video so you can get a preview of the device:

IMPORTANT UPDATE – Discovery Calls

I’ve made a change to how I offer my 15-minute taster sessions.

Up until now, I’ve offered these as a free 10 minute support call, because I genuinely want to help as many people as possible and make accessing support feel easy.

However, I’ve been experiencing a high number of no-shows and last-minute cancellations, which means:
• time is blocked out that could have been used to support someone else
• it impacts availability for families who really need help
• and ultimately, it isn’t sustainable or fair

In many service-based professions, introducing a small fee helps ensure people value and commit to the time booked 

So moving forward, my discovery calls will now be paid sessions.

💡 What this means for you:
• You still get dedicated, focused support
• You can ask questions and understand how I can help
• You’ll leave with clear next steps (not just a chat)
• And your space is protected and respected

This isn’t about making things harder, it’s about making sure the time I give is used properly and reaches the people who truly need it

Thank you for understanding and continuing to support my work 🙏

I’ve worked in:
✔ Mainstream schools
✔ SEN settings
✔ Residential care

And the same thing keeps coming up…
👉 “We don’t feel confident handling this”
👉 “We’re firefighting all day”
👉 “We need something that actually helps”

That’s why I created my training.
Not to tick a box…
But to give staff tools that actually change things.
Because when staff feel confident…
Children feel safer.

Most parents don’t know this 👇

You can ask for a Personal Budget in an EHCP.

That means:
👉 You don’t have to rely only on what the Local Authority offers
👉 You can choose support that actually works for your child

Think:
💛 Therapy
💛 Coaching
💛 Specialist support

It’s about NEED, not diagnosis.

“You’re too sensitive.”
“Stop overreacting.”

Children hear this more than we realise…

But here’s the truth:
👉 They’re not too much
👉 Their brain is trying to protect them
👉 They just need understanding

My children’s RSD books help little ones:
💛 Understand big feelings
💛 Feel safe and seen
💛 Learn how to calm their body

Fun Fact Friday

Children are far more likely to cooperate when they feel understood.

Many behavioural challenges begin to reduce when children feel:
• safe
• listened to
• respected
• emotionally connected

When children feel emotionally secure, their nervous system becomes calmer. This makes it much easier for them to regulate their behaviour and respond positively to guidance.

Connection is not about giving in , it is about creating the foundation that allows children to feel safe enough to learn, listen and grow.
