🧠🧡 INSIDE YOUR BRAIN | ADHD AWARENESS MONTH

PART 2: “I KNOW WHAT TO DO. WHY CAN'T I START?”

Have you ever watched your child sit in front of their homework, knowing exactly what needs to be done… but somehow just not getting started?

Or perhaps you've experienced this yourself?

It's easy to mistake this for laziness, procrastination or a lack of motivation.

But what if the problem isn't knowing what to do — it's getting the brain to begin?

🧠 This is called task initiation, an important part of executive functioning. It involves brain networks that help us plan, organise and turn intentions into action.

For some people with ADHD, this process can be particularly challenging — even when they genuinely want to complete the task.

🔬 Where does qEEG fit in?

qEEG allows us to examine patterns of electrical brain activity, including activity recorded over the frontal regions involved in executive functioning.

These patterns can offer additional insights into how an individual's brain is functioning and may help us explore differences associated with attention, self-regulation and executive-function challenges.

🧡 The takeaway?

Struggling to start doesn't mean someone isn't trying.

Sometimes, breaking a task into one small, manageable first step can make all the difference.

💬 Have you ever experienced that frustrating feeling of knowing what to do, but struggling to get started?

🧠🧡 INSIDE YOUR BRAIN | ADHD AWARENESS MONTH

BEYOND THE BEHAVIOUR. UNDERSTANDING THE BRAIN.

💭 “I heard you. I just lost the instructions.”

Ever asked your child to do three simple things, only to find they've forgotten two of them?

It's easy to think they weren't listening.

But what if they were?

For some children with ADHD, the challenge isn't understanding the instructions — it's holding them in mind long enough to follow through.

🧠 This is called working memory, and it relies on several interconnected brain networks. Difficulties with working memory are common in ADHD, but they vary from person to person.

🔬 Where does qEEG fit in?

qEEG measures patterns of electrical brain activity that may offer additional insights into attention and self-regulation. It does not directly measure working memory or diagnose ADHD but can tell us so much about your child’s brain!

🧡 The takeaway?

Sometimes, what looks like not listening is actually struggling to remember.

A little understanding — and one instruction at a time — can make a big difference.

✨ This is Part 1 of our six-part ADHD Awareness Month series, exploring the brain behind the behaviour.

🧠🔢 INSIDE YOUR BRAIN: Understanding Dyscalculia

We've explored dyslexia and dysgraphia — discovering how different brains experience reading, writing and written expression.

Now, our Inside Your Brain journey continues as we explore dyscalculia — a learning difference that affects how the brain understands and processes numbers and mathematical concepts.

For some children, numbers simply don't make sense in the way we might expect.

🔢 Understanding what numbers represent.
🧮 Remembering basic number facts.
⏰ Telling the time.
💰 Working with money and calculating change.
➕ Remembering mathematical steps and procedures.
📏 Understanding quantities, sequences and patterns.

Things that may seem straightforward to others can feel confusing, overwhelming and exhausting.

And sometimes, what looks like carelessness, not paying attention, forgetting what was taught or simply not trying hard enough is actually a child struggling to make sense of numbers.

Because being able to count is not the same as truly understanding numbers.

Through our next Inside Your Brain: Dyscalculia Series, we'll explore what dyscalculia is, how the brain develops number sense, what parents and teachers may notice, why maths can create so much frustration and anxiety, and how the right teaching approaches and support can make a meaningful difference.

We'll also explore something incredibly important — difficulty with maths is not a reflection of intelligence, effort or potential.

💜 A child who struggles with numbers is not lazy.
💜 A child who needs more time is not less intelligent.
💜 And a child who learns differently deserves to be taught differently.

Sometimes a child can explain a brilliant idea, solve a real-world problem or think creatively — yet struggle to remember a simple number fact.

That doesn't mean they aren't capable.

It means we need to understand how their brain learns.

Join us as we continue exploring the incredible ways our brains work, learn and grow.

And coming up after dyscalculia, we'll take another fascinating journey Inside Your Brain as we explore dyspraxia — and why planning and coordinating movement can be so challenging for some children.

Every child. Every brain. Every step of the way. 💜

✏️ INSIDE YOUR BRAIN: Understanding Dysgraphia

We’ve explored dyslexia and what can be happening inside the brain when reading is difficult.

Now, our Inside Your Brain series continues — this time, we’re looking at dysgraphia and the challenges some children experience when trying to get their thoughts onto paper.

A child may know exactly what they want to say. They may have wonderful ideas, a rich vocabulary and a story already formed in their mind… yet writing it down can feel incredibly difficult.

Handwriting, spelling, organising thoughts, remembering what they wanted to write while concentrating on letter formation — there can be so much happening at once.

And what we see on the page doesn’t always reflect what that child knows, understands or is capable of.

Through this next series, we’ll unpack dysgraphia step by step — what it is, what parents and teachers may notice, why writing can require so much effort, and how the right support can make a meaningful difference.

💜 Because sometimes the ideas are there.
The words are there.
The story is there.
Getting it onto the page is the hard part.

Join us for the next chapter of Inside Your Brain: Dysgraphia.

And we’re not stopping there — after dysgraphia, we’ll continue our journey inside the brain with dyscalculia, exploring why numbers and maths can present a very different kind of challenge.

Every child. Every brain. Every step of the way.
