The Authentic Child Weekly & Holiday workshops Making childrens lives easier by planting the seeds early -for good mental wellness.

The AUTHENTIC Child is the brain child of child and family COUNSELLOR Nicole Neave. Over years of experience with children Nicole believes that she has hit upon a perfect recipe to teach young children to become emotionally intelligent-which follows through for the rest of their lives. We teach children to truly believe in their authentic,natural selves,to celebrate their differences and to recognize that they are meant to be exactly as they are and to relish in their uniqueness is the key to being heroes in their own lives. Our tutors do this through different fun mediums,including drama,speech and play.The children have so much fun that they dont realise that we are teaching them strong emotional intelligence! Our classes are divided into preschool age and primary aged children

If you or your child has BOTH Autism + ADHD… read this.

Most people are told “it’s behavioral.”
But what’s really going on often comes down to brain chemistry—things like dopamine (focus), serotonin (calm), and stress signals being out of sync. While these changes won’t “cure” anything that’s not the goal. The goal is to feel better and make each day more manageable.

The good news?
Small, realistic changes can make a difference.

Here are 4 simple ways to support the brain naturally

1. Movement = Focus + Calm
(Think: boosting motivation & reducing restlessness)

You don’t need a gym membership or a perfect routine.
You just need movement that actually happens.

Try this:
• A 10–15 min walk (bonus if outside - Vitamin D fights fatigue and comes from the sun)
• Dance to ONE song a day
• Jumping jacks or stretching between tasks
• Yoga or martial arts for structure + body awareness

The goal isn’t intensity—it’s consistency. So make achievable goals don’t let your ADHD impulsivity make it unachievable.

2. Food = Brain Fuel (not perfection)
What you eat directly affects mood, focus, and energy.

One small change at a time starts the process:
• Add protein to breakfast (eggs, yogurt, peanut butter)
• Include healthy fats (salmon, walnuts, avocado)
• Swap simple carbs → complex carbs (oats, brown rice)
• Add one fruit or veggie per meal

Don’t aim for perfect—aim for better than yesterday.

3. Calm the Nervous System (tty before bed)
When the brain is overstimulated, everything feels harder.

Try:
• 3 slow deep breaths (seriously—start here)
• 2–5 min guided meditation
• Weighted blanket or fidget tools
• Sitting in a quiet, low-light space
Regulation is the key… everything else gets easier after.

😴 4. Sleep is The Natural Reset Button
No supplement or strategy can replace this.

✨ Make it easier:
• Same bedtime + wake time (yes, even weekends 😅)
• No screens 1 hour before bed 📵
• Create a wind-down routine (music, reading, dim lights)
• Cool, dark room = better sleep

👉 Better sleep = better mood, focus, AND behavior.

This isn’t about “fixing” people.
It’s about supporting a brain that works differently.

And the biggest changes?
They usually come from the smallest habits being done consistently.
