🔔 UK Government Emergency Alert Test – Sunday 7 September at 3pm

This Sunday, many phones and tablets across the UK will make a loud siren-like sound and vibrate for around 10 seconds as part of a government emergency alert test.

For some children and young people, this unexpected noise and vibration may feel overwhelming or distressing. Families may want to:
✨ Pre-warn their child so they know what to expect.
✨ Check device settings and adjust if needed.
✨ Turn off alerts if this feels best for your family.

👉 To turn off alerts:
On iPhone: Settings → Notifications → scroll down → switch off Severe Alerts and Extreme Alerts.
On Android: Settings → search Emergency Alerts → switch off Severe Alerts and Extreme Alerts.

For more information, visit gov.uk/alerts
💜 Every family is different, please do what feels right for your child.
📢 Please share this with other families who may find the alert overwhelming.

“She’s clever, but she needs help staying organised.”
“He’s so smart, but he struggles with group work.”
“They’re bright, but handwriting is a challenge.”

Giftedness and neurodivergence can co-exist, often called twice-exceptional (2e). But too often, one masks the other, and the child’s true needs go unnoticed.

A child can be highly intelligent and need support. Understanding the whole child, their strengths and their struggles, is key to helping them thrive.

Some children line up toys and enjoy sorting activities. Others stim, repeat phrases, or prefer to play alone.

Play is deeply personal and for autistic children and other neurodivergent kids, it might not look like what we ‘expect’. But it’s still meaningful.

At Starjumpz, we see play as a window into a child’s world, not something to “fix,” but to understand and build upon. Let’s celebrate all forms of play.

Sensory overwhelm. Sleep challenges. Meltdowns. Delays in speech or motor skills. These are often waved away with, “They’ll grow out of it.”

And while some children do, others need support to thrive, not just time to wait. Early support isn’t about labelling. It’s about understanding a child’s needs, building confidence, and reducing stress for the whole family.

At Starjumpz, we believe in early support, without fear or stigma. If you have questions, we’re here to help.

Daydreaming. Fidgeting. Struggling to follow instructions. Often labelled as “not trying” or “disengaged”, especially in bright, creative children.

But for many ADHD children, especially girls or those AFAB, and those who mask, this isn’t about attitude. It’s about executive function challenges, attention regulation, working memory, and cognitive flexibility.

These children aren’t zoning out on purpose. They need environments that support their needs without shame.

Becky Day, Clinical Practitioner, has been exploring the links between sugar, dopamine, and ADHD. 🍬🧠

Many ADHDers naturally produce lower levels of dopamine, the brain’s “feel-good” chemical responsible for motivation, focus, and reward. That means the brain is often working harder to feel engaged or satisfied, leading to common behaviours like sugar cravings, thrill-seeking, or impulsive choices as a way to boost dopamine quickly.

🍫 Sugar gives a short-term dopamine hit which can make it especially tempting for ADHDers. It’s the brain’s way of trying to self-regulate and feel good.

You don’t need to cut sugar out completely. It’s about understanding your brain and supporting it in a way that feels sustainable. That might include:
✨ Eating balanced meals that support stable energy
✨ Exploring dopamine-boosting habits like movement, music, or creative tasks
✨ Being kind to yourself when cravings happen

Support starts with understanding and sometimes, a little insight goes a long way.

“He’s just being difficult.”
“She’s lazy.”
“He’s manipulative.”
“They’re just seeking attention.”

These are phrases neurodivergent children can often grow up hearing but behind the behaviour is often a child in distress, not defiance.

Many autistic and ADHD children, or those with sensory processing differences, can struggle with regulation, communication, or transitions. What looks like “challenging behaviour” is often a sign of unmet needs, not bad parenting or a bad attitude.

At Starjumpz, we work with families to reframe behaviour as communication and to build supportive strategies that reduce stress for children and their caregivers.

Let’s replace judgment with curiosity and shame with understanding.

🍕 Putty Pizza, Anyone? 🍕
This creative masterpiece was made during a therapy session and while it looks like just play, it's rich in sensory and developmental benefits.

Putty play can support:
🖐️ Fine motor skills and hand strength
🧠 Sensory exploration and regulation
💬 Communication, creativity, and connection
🎯 Focus and body awareness

Sensory-rich activities like this invite children to engage on their own terms, explore textures in a playful way, and express themselves through hands-on fun.

Therapy doesn’t have to feel like work, it can start with a slice of imagination!
