Parent/carer/educator support for AuDHD/PDA kids to heal and thrive away from systems that break them.

When school doesnt feel safe...

We don't talk much about the actual environment created for a school to exist and function.
Buildings, furnishings, locations.

When a child starts experiencing difficulty at school, there may be some hidden clues contributing to their discomfort hiding in plain sight.

We refer to the sensory environment as the way a person responds to the various aspects that exist, which may trigger their nervous system into fight, flight, freeze or fawn responses.

A child may experience sensations acutely or may not recognise these sensations in their body at all.

When the sensory aspects are not in a child's control, it may not feel safe for them to be there.

But the effects will show up over time and for many non school shaped children there will be no way of making changes or accommodations to make it feel OK for them.

Even if they want to learn.
Even if they want to attend.
Even if they have friends.
Even if they like their teachers.

We're here to help you filter out the f*ckery.
Because there are plenty of people telling you your child is the problem.
In their looks, their reactions, their expectations.
They don't get it.
They'll give you well meaning advice and suggest strategies and supports.

But they're missing the point.

The system isn't created for neurodivergent kids to thrive. And we need to talk about that more.

We love it when this happens.
And you know what, it wasn't just the reading that stood out as progress.

It was also:
💚 Sitting in a small group alongside other children which he sometimes finds too much.
💜 Learning how to use a mouse on a computer and managing his frustration tolerance when he didn't get it straight away.
💚 Learning how to use letters to navigate directions in the game.
💜 Taking guidance from an adult when I offered to support him.

But we could have made this really uncomfortable for him if we'd pointed all this out. Celebrated, praised or encouraged him. That's not what a PDAer needs.

That just adds a layer of expectation in their minds.
We now know their capability, so maybe we'll expect it of them every time?

No.
We stay quiet and keep supporting in gentle ways around them.

And shout about it in text messages to our friends and family so they can't hear us!

Sound familiar or is this just our experience?

We're often asked how kids learn when they aren't directly taught.

We unschool our own kids as it's the way that works for our demand avoidant learners.

We are ex-teachers. Our kids used to go to school. All of our lives have changed considerably. It's not been easy, but it works. It's definitely improved our lives for the better.

Curious? Head over to our website to read the full blog. We'd love to hear your experience. Or if you have any questions, we're always happy to answer them.

Recovering people pleasers unite.
A little sweary.
Often distracted.
Fuelled by coffee.
Raging against oppressive and harmful systems.
Rebelliously advocating for children's rights.
Always compassionately listening to your stories.

We take consent and your mental health seriously. If you find anything we say to be pious, patronising or bewildering please look after yourself and unfollow.

If you're sticking around please let us know in the comments something offensive someone has said to you, so we can feel a little lighter heading into our bank holiday weekend!

Because we have no f*cks left for that sh*tty behaviour.
