Sports Day.
School trips.
Transition days.
Residential visits.
Leavers' events.
And the anticipation of new teachers, new classrooms, and maybe even a whole new school in September.

While these events are often seen as exciting, they can place huge demands on a child who is already working incredibly hard just to get through the school day.

So if your child starts coming home more emotional, more withdrawn, more explosive, or more exhausted than usual, there's a reason.

What looks like a sudden meltdown or shutdown is often the result of weeks of masking, adapting, and trying to cope with constant change.

I've written a new blog post explaining why this time of year can be so challenging for neurodivergent children, and what parents can do to help.

And if you'd like practical support before the after-school fallout begins, my After School Meltdown Toolkit is available for just ยฃ67 and includes parent audios, phrase cards, trigger trackers, and calming strategies to help you navigate these moments with confidence.

Because your child isn't giving you a hard time.

They're having a hard time.

Half term + hot weather + dysregulated nervous systems can be a LOT for parents right now. โ˜€๏ธ๐Ÿ’›

If your children are more emotional, more reactive, struggling to sleep, or melting down more easily in the heatโ€ฆ you are not imagining it.

Hot weather affects sensory regulation, emotional tolerance, sleep and nervous systems, for adults too.

This week, try lowering demands, slowing things down, offering extra co-regulation, cold snacks, water play, shaded rest, and most importantlyโ€ฆ compassion for yourself as well.

Iโ€™ve written a new blog post with gentle, practical ideas to help families stay cool, calm and connected over half term.

Read here:

Hot weather and hot tempers? This gentle self-hypnosis technique helps stressed parents lower their internal temperature and restore calm, even on the hottest summer days. A quick and effective moment of cool, collected peace, just for you.

When parents begin looking for support for their child, they often imagine weeks of therapy sessions, sitting face-to-face talking about difficult feelings, or trying to persuade an overwhelmed child to โ€œopen up.โ€

But many neurodivergent children experience traditional therapeutic approaches as too intense, too demanding or simply inaccessible.

In my latest blog post, I explain how Magic Moment Stories offer a gentler alternative: personalised therapeutic stories designed to support children with anxiety, bedtime fears, toileting issues, selective mutism, separation anxiety, emotional overwhelm and confidence difficulties in a calm, imaginative and non-intrusive wayโœจ

With no pressure to talk and no intensive sessions required, these stories help children feel safer, calmer and more emotionally secure through metaphor, imagination and connection.

The blog also shares real examples of how different children have been supported through personalised story experiences.

When most people picture therapy for children, they often imagine weekly appointments, sitting face-to-face with a stranger, answering questions about feelings, or trying to โ€œopen upโ€ and explain whatโ€™s wrong. But for many neurodivergent children and teens, that approach can feel overwhelming,...

โœจ May the calm be with youโ€ฆ โœจ

If after-school time in your home can feel like walking on eggshellsโ€ฆ
If you find yourself bracing for the moment everything tipsโ€ฆ

Youโ€™re not alone.

And more importantly, your child isnโ€™t โ€œlosing controlโ€โ€ฆ
theyโ€™re overwhelmed.

Iโ€™ve written a new blog inspired by Star Wars and โ€œMay the Fourthโ€. But this isnโ€™t just a fun themeโ€ฆ

Itโ€™s a powerful reminder that your child already has an inner โ€œforceโ€ of calm.
They just need the right conditions to access it.

Inside, I share:
๐Ÿ’› Whatโ€™s really happening during meltdowns
๐Ÿ’› Why traditional responses often make things worse
๐Ÿ’› How you can become the calm your child needs

If youโ€™re ready to move from chaos to connection, this is for you.

Thereโ€™s something about May the Fourth that brings a little spark of magic into the day. Maybe itโ€™s the nostalgia, the playfulness, or the reminder of a much-loved story from Star Wars, where ordinary people discover an extraordinary force within them. Your child has a force too.
