Imagine two glasses, both filled right to the top with water.
They look the same — both “full”.

Now imagine one glass already has the demands of a full school day inside it.
The other does too.

If we pour just one more thing in —
“Try harder.”
“Focus more.”
“Be better behaved.”
“Meet higher expectations.”

One glass might overflow.

Not because it’s broken.
Not because it’s lazy.
But because its capacity has been reached.

This is often the reality for children with ADHD.
When capacity changes, behaviour changes — and that’s about regulation, not character.

✨ If you’d like to better understand your ADHD child and how their brain works, we offer an online ADHD course you can complete at your own pace, anytime.
✔️ Lifetime access
✔️ Practical, supportive strategies
✔️ Designed for parents and caregivers

Finding adaptive ways to do tummy time with your little one 👶

13/12/2025

Understanding your child’s sensory system can feel a bit like watching a vase fill with food colouring— each drop represents noise, movement, touch, and everything they process throughout the day. 🧠

Sometimes the vase fills too much or quickly, and that’s when our little ones become overwhelmed or dysregulated.

At Little Lives Child Development, we help children and parents recognise these feelings and support them with the tools they need to feel calm, grounded, and regulated again. 😌🧘🏻‍♀️

✨ Celebrating 10 years ✨

There are some people you work with professionally, and then there are the very rare ones you trust with your own children. Dr Bisseru is both for me.

She has been part of my boys’ story from the very beginning, she delivered James, and she quite literally saved William’s life. Even now that my boys are big, they still walk into her rooms with absolute trust and adoration. That says everything. The calm she brings, the way she listens, the reassurance she offers without ever rushing or dismissing a parent’s worry, as a mom, that kind of steadiness means more than words can hold.

As a therapist, it has been a gift to work alongside a paediatrician who truly sees the allied team, who understands that children are supported best when we work together, listen to each other, and respect each other’s roles. We have walked many long and tender roads alongside families together, and it has been a privilege to do that work shoulder to shoulder. Her openness, humility, and willingness to collaborate have made her a rare and invaluable part of our community.

And as a human, I am simply grateful for her heart.
For the way she holds parents when they’re afraid.
For the quiet reassurance she brings into rooms heavy with worry.
For the children whose lives have been gently steadied because she was there.

Congratulations on 10 years in practice, Tash.
So many little lives, including my own boys, are better because of you. 🤍

🌟 A Tribute to an Extraordinary Teacher 🌟

At Little Lives, we spend so much time talking about the adults who shape children’s worlds, the ones who see them, support them, and help them grow. Today, I want to honour one of those incredible humans, someone who has made a life-changing impact on my own child.

For the past two years, my son has been taught by this remarkable teacher. She has been his small-group maths teacher and previously his English teacher, but the truth is, she has taught him far, far more than academics.

She has built his confidence.
She has nurtured his love for learning.
She has sparked a passion for maths that I know will stay with him for years to come.
And, most importantly, she has always made him feel seen, valued, and capable.

As a mom, I am SO grateful.
As a therapist, I am in awe.
And as a human being, I am thankful for every time she has quietly dried my mommy tears and reminded me that my child was going to be okay.

Supporting a child’s self-esteem is one of the most powerful gifts an educator can offer, and she has done this with such consistency, warmth, and intention. My son walks taller because of her. He believes in himself because she believed in him first.

She is leaving this year, and while we will miss her terribly, we are so excited for the children whose lives she will touch next. They have no idea how lucky they are.

Thank you for the love, the patience, the encouragement, and the joy you have poured into our boy and so many others. Teachers like you don’t just teach; they change trajectories. And we will never forget the difference you’ve made.
💛
