If your autistic child seems unusually exhausted, has lost previously learned skills, or appears to be struggling more than usual, they may be experiencing autistic burnout. This often-misunderstood phenomenon affects many autistic children and young people, yet it’s rarely discussed in mainstream...

Today is the start of Mental Health Awareness Week. We’re shouting loudly that great mental health care isn't just clinical, it's human. It’s the kind voice at the end of the phone when you’re worried about rent and too unwell to work. It’s the adviser who listens actively, rather than waiting for their turn to speak. And it's you reminding friends and loved ones that these contact details can save lives. Please share 💙

SECOND CHANCE SUNDAY

Many children with dyspraxia are misunderstood for years. They are described as clumsy, messy, disorganised, or “not trying.” But what adults often see on the outside is only the tip of the iceberg.

Dyspraxia affects how the brain plans and carries out movement and tasks. Things that seem simple to others — getting dressed, organising a school bag, catching a ball, or following several steps at once — can take huge amounts of effort.

Over time, these daily struggles can chip away at confidence. Some children begin to believe they are “bad at everything,” when in reality they are working twice as hard to keep up.

Understanding the signs can help us move from frustration to support. When adults recognise what’s really going on, children can receive the patience, adjustments, and encouragement they need to thrive.

If this sounds like a child you know, you are not alone — and neither are they.

Big feelings can make little bodies feel wiggly, fast, or overwhelmed — and that’s where simple regulation tools can help.

Finger breathing is one of the easiest ways to calm a child’s nervous system because it combines touch, movement, and slow breathing. No equipment, no prep, just their own hands.

This gentle strategy helps a child slow their breathing, focus their mind, and feel more in control of their body. It’s brain-based, child-friendly, and can be used anywhere — at school, in the car, or before sleep.

Teaching calming skills when a child is settled makes it easier to use them when feelings grow big.

Swipe to learn finger breathing and practise it together. Calm is a skill, and skills can be taught.

A simple hand signal can be a powerful safety tool.

Many children struggle to find words in the moment, especially when they feel unsure, overwhelmed, or pressured. Teaching a clear “stop” signal gives them a voice even when words feel hard.

When a child shows their palm and says “Stop, I don’t like it,” they are setting a boundary. This is not rude or dramatic. It is a life skill.

The beauty of this strategy is that it can be seen from a distance. A teacher, parent, or safe adult can quickly notice the raised palm and recognise that the child is uncomfortable.

This helps adults step in sooner, support the child, and prevent situations from escalating. It also teaches children that their body and space matter.

Practise it at home through role play so it feels natural to use. Confidence grows with rehearsal, not pressure.

THE GROUNDING TECHNIQUE

Today’s visual shares one of the simplest, most effective tools for helping a child come back into their body when anxiety, overwhelm or dysregulation takes over.

Grounding works because it brings the brain out of “threat mode” and back into the present moment — a key part of brain-based parenting and co-regulation.

Young people often tell us that having something practical to do in the moment makes big feelings feel less scary and more manageable.

You can use this strategy at home, in school, during transitions, or any time a child feels “stuck” in their emotions.
