✨ Emotional regulation isn’t something we teach — it’s something we support. ✨

If a child is melting down, anxious, or overwhelmed, it's not because they haven't learned about emotions. It’s because their nervous system is struggling.

Neurodivergent children don’t need more lessons on feelings.
They need:
🌱 Emotional safety
📅 Predictability
🤝 Co-regulation
🌀 Sensory support

When we understand regulation through the Pyramid of Learning, we stop blaming the behavior at the top — and start supporting the nervous system at the bottom.

Let’s shift from behavior-based strategies to body-based connection 💛

I tried to make a video talking about this fundraiser, but it was just too emotional. So I’ve written it out in these slides to share the why behind it all. 💛

This is for Caitlin. For Maisa. For every neurodivergent teen or individual who has difficulty with mental health..who needed spaces to be fully seen, safe, and supported.

And for my uncle, aunt and Maisa’s parents who put their heart and soul into supporting and loving their children.

I’m raising funds for Neurodiversity Ireland to create affirming environments for neurodivergent teens—including a sensory garden and a teen support group with creative, autonomy-based activities.

If my posts, webinars, or stories have ever supported you or your family, and you’re in a position to give, please consider donating to the GoFundMe. 💫

Free webinar + PDFs coming this summer to say thank you.
