We all grow at different rates and that is okay.

Things have been a little quiet on here because behind the scenes… we have been BUSY busy bees

🌳Roots & Wings is growing and we are working so hard to build something really special for our families.🦋

Here’s what’s been happening lately:

-Volunteers fully trained & onboarded
We’ve been getting the most incredible humans ready.
people who get neurodivergent children, lead with patience, and bring calm, kind energy into our spaces. We are so lucky💕

-After-school group launching NEXT WEEK
We are SO ready to open the doors. A safe space to land after school, regulate, unmask, play, stim, create and just be.

-Rant & Rave sessions booked
Your space to offload, celebrate, cry, laugh and say the things you can’t always say out loud. DLA and EHCP support to be given by our in house Sen legal volunteers
No judgement. No fixing. Just understanding.
We are hoping to have the booking system for this opening in the next few weeks

-Parent craft sessions ready for March
ideas sorted
Craft session ran by the most wonderful team
Because you deserve time to breathe too. Hands busy, nervous system settling, surrounded by people who get it.

Sensory activity deliveries have arrived
Boxes, bags, textures, tools, fidgets, resources, all here and ready to be sorted into the space. Every item chosen with our children in mind.

This isn’t just a group.
It’s a community being built with so much care, lived experience and love
We cannot wait to welcome you all through the doors.

Roots are growing. Wings are spreading.

Screens calm children fast. One video, one game, one scroll, and the stress melts away. For a tired or overwhelmed child, that relief feels instant and powerful.

The problem is what comes after. The brain gets used to fast rewards. Real life moves slower. Homework, meals, conversation, and play can start to feel boring, irritating, or overwhelming. When screens stop, emotions often surge. Children may become restless, angry, tearful, or shut down. This is not bad behaviour. It is a nervous system struggling to cope without quick comfort.

This pattern shows up in many children and young people. It is common in children with anxiety, ADHD, ASD, sensory sensitivities, or emotional regulation difficulties. It also affects children who spend all day holding it together and using their energy to cope. Their behaviour is communication, not defiance.

What helps is not blame or constant battles over screen time. Children need connection, movement, outdoor time, creativity, and shared moments with calm adults. Slower activities help the brain reset and relearn how to cope with everyday life.

When adults understand this, responses change. Less punishment. More support. Less conflict. More connection.

Comment "SCREEN" and we will send you a message with a link to a free PDF of this resource.

Very sad statistics, and an unfortunate truth. If you are over 14 and have a learning disability, make sure you book in for your annual Learning Disability Health Check with your GP to keep on top of physical health.

🚨 The latest LeDeR report revealed something shocking: people with a learning disability are dying nearly 20 years younger than the general population.

This isn’t acceptable, and one way to help change this is by joining the Learning Disability Register.

The learning disability register. Are you in? Your needs respected, better healthcare, free health checks every year. That’s what being on the Learning disability register could mean for you.

We’ve made it quicker and easier to join the learning disability register. Just use our website to create a letter and then give it to your doctor. And you’ll be in! Fill it out here: https://brnw.ch/21wZfat

Join the 1000s of other people with a learning disability who have said I’m In.

When you take part, we’ll send you a free badge to show that you’re in!
