Good morning Hunter family, I am extremely fortunate to work with children, just like me - not that I am a child, although sometimes I act like one 😁 The connection we have is unique and we constantly learn from one another. Sadly, we are also misunderstood on a regular basis, by others. I don’t think it’s intentional but we have to work harder to explain who we are and what we need to thrive. Yes, there’s plenty of training around ADHD and other neurodivergent conditions as well as what behaviours can arise, but it’s really not enough. It falls short of the, “why” aspect of all children and adults that it affects. The lack of understanding in this area, why neurodivergents don’t follow a linear pattern, why can you create a masterpiece one day and then can’t even step foot in the classroom the next, why did you just shout at me, why, why, why? I advocate for every child I work with, neurodivergent and neurotypical, those with trauma the quieter children, that go under the radar and those that like your company often. I have challenged, professionally, that more needs to be in place. So, I have offered my experience and guidance to run a series of meaningful presentations, guidance, strategies encouraging nurturing behaviours, between adults and their children (neurotypical and neurodivergent children) in the first instance. Does anyone here know or has seen a positive example of this in action? Many thanks Lana 😊

Hey all, just wondering if anyone is suffering with jaw clenching(bruxism) when on meds? And have you found anything that helps with it please? I’ve got a gum shield(Amazon one) as I’ve not been able to get to the dentist yet,I’ve had Botox. Still trying to figure out what might make it worse, but in the meantime I’m back to blowing bubbles off my tongue, which stops me from clenching.

Interested to understand what people’s costs are around the country and world for getting ADHD Meds. Also who like me has a shared care agreement with local GP and Local NHS

Yesterday I noticed Rosie (my RSD) sticking her nose into my business and trying to bait me into a downhill misery trip. As soon as I felt myself starting to slip I told her to go away (not as politely as that 😉) and resolved to find time this weekend to work on the ACCEPT part of RAISE. Now I simply need to squeeze approximately 7 more hours into each day in order to actually do that! Any tips on doing that will be tremendously appreciated 🙏 😅
