In this episode, we’re diving into a big topic: preparing your neurodivergent or special needs child for the new school year.

Transitions can be overwhelming, but with small, consistent practices, you can help your child thrive. Whether you’re a parent, carer, or educator, this episode is packed with practical tips and strategies to make this process smoother for everyone.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

Understanding your child’s unique neurodevelopmental needs.
Practical ways to integrate primitive reflexes for better focus and coordination.
The importance of visual mapping and role-playing to build predictability.
Sensory regulation strategies for calmer mornings and school days.
How to create an emotional toolkit and collaborate with teachers for tailored support.

Key Takeaways:

Primitive Reflex Integration: Unresolved reflexes like the Moro reflex can impact behaviour and focus. Activities like starfish exercises or rhythmic movements can help.
Visual Mapping: Create a visual representation of your child’s school day to build predictability. Role-play routines to strengthen muscle memory and reduce stress.
Morning Sensory Rituals: Use tools like lavender oils, weighted blankets, or fidget toys to calm the nervous system and prepare for the school environment.
Emotional Toolkit: Provide familiar items like stress balls or family photos to ground your child during overwhelming moments.
Teacher Collaboration: Share a one-page overview of your child’s needs, preferences, and calming strategies to help teachers provide better support.

This Week’s Highlights:

Weekly Kryptonite: Navigating the hospital system for my son’s spinal issues has been challenging, with specialists often overlooking key concerns. Advocating for a second opinion can make a difference.
Wonder Woman Moment: Despite a packed schedule, I prioritised quality time with my kids this week, walking my daughter into school and attending my son’s playgroup. The joy in their eyes reminded me why these moments matter.

Practical Tips for Parents and Teachers:

Parents: Incorporate simple routines at home like putting on shoes or packing a bag. Consistency helps your child feel prepared for the school environment.
Teachers: Be open to collaborating with parents. Small accommodations like offering quiet time or using sensory tools can significantly impact a child’s success in the classroom.

The Science Behind Your Child’s Meltdown – What’s Really Happening? 23:06

för 6 dagar sedan23:06

23:06

Meltdowns are one of the biggest challenges parents of neurodivergent children face, often leaving them feeling helpless and frustrated. But what if you could understand the science behind them? In this episode, Jess breaks down what’s happening in the brain during a meltdown, why it’s not “bad behavior,” and how parents can support their children in these overwhelming moments. By exploring the role of the prefrontal cortex, the amygdala, and sensory processing, Jess sheds light on why neurodivergent children experience meltdowns differently. She also provides practical, science-backed strategies for managing meltdowns in the moment and reducing their frequency over time. What You’ll Learn in This Episode: ✅ The difference between a tantrum and a meltdown – why they are not the same ✅ The neuroscience behind meltdowns and why they occur ✅ Common triggers that push a child into meltdown mode ✅ Strategies to help your child regulate emotions during a meltdown ✅ Long-term tools to reduce the frequency and intensity of meltdowns Key Takeaways: Meltdowns are a neurological response, not misbehavior, and occur when the brain goes into survival mode. Sensory overload, communication barriers, unexpected changes, and fatigue are common meltdown triggers. Parents can help by staying calm, using minimal language, and providing deep pressure or sensory tools. Long-term strategies like sensory diets, routines, and co-regulation exercises can strengthen a child’s emotional resilience. This Week’s Highlights: 🦸 Weekly Kryptonite: The unpredictability of routine changes and how they can trigger extreme anxiety and meltdowns in neurodivergent children. 🌟 Wonder Woman Moment: A mother in our Little Superheroes community shared a huge win—her child, who previously had daily meltdowns, went an entire week without one after implementing sensory breaks! Practical Tips for Parents: 🔹 Stay calm and regulate with them – Your child’s nervous system mirrors yours, so breathe deeply and stay composed. 🔹 Use minimal language – Avoid long explanations; instead, use short, reassuring phrases like “You’re safe” or “I’m here.” 🔹 Reduce stimulation – Move to a quieter space, dim the lights, or use sensory tools like weighted blankets or fidget toys. 🔹 Incorporate a sensory diet – Activities like swinging, bouncing, and deep pressure exercises can help regulate their nervous system. 🔹 Teach emotional regulation – Use role-playing and emotional charts to help children recognize and express feelings before they escalate.

Finding connection with other parents going through similar experiences can break the cycle of isolation. Mindset shifts don’t erase the challenges, but they help create space for joy, hope, and peace. Acknowledging the difficulty of this journey doesn’t mean you aren’t grateful—it means you are growing through it. Every small victory, whether yours or your child’s, is worth celebrating.

för 9 weeks sedan18:42

18:42

Extended screen time can overstimulate sensory pathways, leading to difficulty focusing, emotional outbursts, and trouble transitioning to other activities. But instead of eliminating screens entirely, the goal is to use them intentionally while pairing them with activities that engage other parts of the brain. In this episode of Navigating Neurodivergence and Special Needs with Little Superheroes , Jess dives into screen time’s impact on neurodivergent kids, why screens are so captivating, and practical strategies for finding balance during the holiday season. Learn how to set boundaries, transition smoothly from screen time, and discover engaging alternatives to support your child’s development. What You'll Learn in This Episode: Why screens are so captivating for neurodivergent kids. How excessive screen time impacts emotional regulation and sensory pathways. Strategies to balance screen time with other developmental activities. Creative alternatives to screen time that engage different parts of the brain. How to create a family routine with intentional screen use. Key Takeaways: Understanding Screen Dependency: Predictability, dopamine rewards, and sensory engagement make screens appealing but can lead to overstimulation and emotional dysregulation. Visual Schedules: Use visual aids to provide structure and prepare for transitions from screen time to other activities. Timers and Verbal Cues: Gradual dopamine reduction through timers and verbal warnings smoothens transitions. Intentional Screen Use: Opt for educational apps, calming tools, and documentaries to enrich the experience. Practical Alternatives: Sensory bins, outdoor scavenger hunts, family baking, and creative activities are excellent ways to connect and engage without screens. This Week’s Highlights: Weekly Kryptonite: All-day screen use leading to sensory overload, missed developmental opportunities, and dopamine dependency.
