BR(Read below👇) This may look simple at first,but…
If your child struggles with ADHD or anxiety, this 60-second exercise can make a BIG difference.
Here’s why...
These two boys are doing The Lizard Exercise, and it’s one of the easiest ways to calm an overstimulated nervous system and organize the brain for better attention, emotional control, and learning.
➡️ If your child melts down easily
➡️ Gets overwhelmed by noises or chaos
➡️ Has trouble sitting still or focusing
➡️ Struggles with impulsivity or transitions
➡️ Or seems anxious about “small” things…
You’re not alone — and it’s not bad parenting.
Many kids today have primitive reflexes that never fully integrated, which keeps their brain stuck in survival mode instead of problem-solving mode.
The Lizard helps because it activates:
✔️ Cross-body movement (boosts focus & coordination)
✔️ Vestibular system (supports emotional regulation)
✔️ Core & midline (for body awareness)
✔️ Brainstem → cerebellum → cortex pathway (for attention + learning)
Together, that means:
🧠 calmer nervous system
🧠 fewer emotional outbursts
🧠 better attention
🧠 more confidence
🧠 improved impulse control
If you want more natural home-based strategies like this for ADHD…

And if you want to learn exactly why primitive reflexes matter — and what you can do to help your child from home, we’re hosting a free webinar called:
“3 Simple Secrets to Solving ADHD 100% Naturally From Home.”

DR10 ADHD harsh truths every parent needs to know:
1. If a kid tries stimulants and it calms them, they have true ADHD-otherwise misdiagnosed
2. ADHD left untreated increases drug use, school drop out rate, chance of jail time, divorce, mental health issues, career struggle, and more
3. ADHD is both over and under diagnosed. Kids aren’t meant to be trapped in school prisons and sit all day. Also, a lot of kids have subtler ADD and it goes untreated and unrecognized especially in girls.
4. books worth reading- ADHD 2.0 by Dr Hallowell, scattered minds by @gabormatemd , disconnected kids by @drrobertmelillo, fire child water child by @stephencowanmd , 12 principles for raising a child with ADHD by @drrussellbarkley
5. Get those books. Actually read them. Your kids life will be saved by the knowledge in them.
6. No really, read them. Melillo is my favorite for kids and Barkley second. For adults or those with subtle ADHD, ADHD 2.0 is helpful. For kids not with severe ADHD, fire child water child can be really helpful to understand the differences in kids with ADHD and customizing treatment in a unique way.
7. Diet and sleep and exercise are a BAJILLION times more important in kids with ADHD. 70-90% of ADHD kids show such drastic improvement that they don’t need medication with lifestyle change. See the fire child water child book for what type of exercise works best for each person.
8. Vitamins are SUPPLEMENTS to a healthy lifestyle.
9. You have to parent neurodivergent kids differently. Period. Ideally seek a specialist for help. I’m not trained in that but many are.
10. The medications should not be used in shame. For many, this literally saves the life of the patient and those around them. It can take time to find the right dose and regimen for each person. They don’t work for everyone. But for some it is extremely helpful and reduces stress for everyone. There are side effects from long term use, for sure. But every case is unique and should be handled as such. ADHD is often reversible or undiagnosable if treated correctly and caught early per Dr Melillo’s treatment options and other lifestyle and healing modalities are used.
PS ADHD is a gift, too

SHThe past six months we’ve been adjusting to a new neighborhood, new schools, and living with new family! My kids are adapting to a lot and the constant over stimulation has been taking its toll, especially in the winter months with not as many outside options for movement and play.
In true ADHD fashion, I rode an idea and a burst of energy, designing this room and finding someone to install it in 10 days so I could surprise Hugh in time for his birthday. The internet calls it a sensory room, I call it a playroom, the kids call it “The Jungle”. Two months in and they are all playing on it every single day, even the tweens! #adhd #adhdkids #sensoryroom

JUThe screen at dinner isn’t the problem. The assumption that your child should be able to eat without it, without anyone asking why, that’s the problem.
👉 I’m Court, Paediatric Clinical Nutritionist, Feeding Therapist and Mum. Follow for evidence-based nutrition that goes deeper than “eat more greens.”
For a child with ADHD, eating is already a high-demand task. Before the first bite, their nervous system is managing sensory input, staying seated, tolerating food smells and textures, and regulating their body enough to chew and swallow. That’s a lot. The screen? Sometimes it’s the thing that brings their nervous system down enough to eat at all.
That’s nervous system regulation in action.
Here’s what I’d actually tell you as a clinician:
→ A regulated child eats more than a dysregulated one, full stop
→ The goal is always getting food in first, then slowly expanding what’s possible
→ Screens can reduce sensory overwhelm and lower the fight-or-flight response that shuts appetite down
→ Using a screen to support eating is a bridge, not a destination, and bridges are allowed
→ Pressure at mealtimes creates negative associations with food that can last years
→ Your child’s brain needs fuel to regulate, focus, and function, however we get that in matters
→ “Perfect mealtimes” are not a prerequisite for good nutrition
→ Connection and calm at the table will always do more than rules about devices
This isn’t permission to drop all the rules and never work toward screen-free meals. It’s permission to stop punishing yourself for doing what works right now.
The research on feeding children with ADHD is clear: stress and pressure make eating harder, not easier. Reducing anxiety around mealtimes, whatever that takes, is a legitimate, evidence-based strategy.
You’re meeting your child where they are. And that’s exactly where feeding therapy starts.
Save this. Share it with someone who needs to hear it. Screenshot it for the next time someone makes you feel guilty about the iPad at dinner.

GOThink your child is being difficult? Many behaviors in ADHD kids, like hyperfocusing, interrupting, meltdowns, avoidance, and constant movement are actually their brain’s way of coping.
Instead of criticizing, try staying calm, getting curious, and creating small, predictable steps. Understanding these behaviors changes everything.

IAWhy We Work Out Before School | Kids, Movement & Brain Health
Starting the day with movement and exercise can make a powerful difference for kids’ mental and physical health. In our home, we prioritize working out before school because it helps support focus, clarity, emotional balance, and confidence.
Research shows that morning movement increases blood flow to the brain, which can improve attention, memory, and cognitive performance. For children navigating ADHD, anxiety, or stress, even a short workout can help regulate mood, release excess energy, and create a calmer mind before the school day begins.
Exercise also supports the immune system, mental resilience, and emotional well-being, while helping kids build healthy habits that last a lifetime.
For us, this simple routine gives the brain a natural boost, helps reduce anxiety, and sets the tone for a more focused, confident school day.
Because sometimes the best way to prepare the mind… is to move the body first.

RAWho else knows the struggle?
After school, our guy is completely tapped out. His brain just can’t handle any more learning, and pushing it often leads to big meltdowns. I’ve learned that our sweet spot for getting work done is in the morning once we’re at school and settled into my classroom (I teach, so we arrive early). He still resists, but it’s far less of a battle.
Payton is still young and only in 2nd grade, so we’re learning as we go. For those with older kiddos what tips or tricks have helped you? What have you found actually works?

IT🚨 10 Signs Your Neurodivergent Child Might Be Burning Out
Our autistic and ADHD kids can experience burnout too, often as a result of ongoing stress, overwhelm, or constantly masking their needs 🎭
Here are some signs to look out for:
1️⃣ Increased Sensory Sensitivity – Reacting more strongly to loud noises, bright lights, or certain clothes.
2️⃣ Eating Habits Changing – Suddenly eating a lot more or less, refusing foods they usually like, or being more picky than usual.
3️⃣ New or Increased Tics – More blinking, throat clearing, or sudden movements they can’t control.
4️⃣ Getting Stuck in Routines – Needing to do things in a certain way more than before, like repeating actions or asking the same questions over and over.
5️⃣ Big Mood Swings – Getting upset, angry, or tearful more easily, or struggling to calm down after small things.
6️⃣ Feeling More Anxious or Scared – Worrying more, feeling panicky, or getting scared of things that didn’t bother them before.
7️⃣ Always Tired – Saying they’re exhausted, struggling to wake up, or seeming drained even after resting.
8️⃣ Losing Interest in Their Favourite Things – Not wanting to play, draw, read, or do activities they usually love.
9️⃣ Withdrawing – Spending more time alone, avoiding friends or family, or seeming distant and disengaged.
🔟 Struggling with Communication – Finding it harder to express themselves, using fewer words, or relying more on scripts, echolalia, or non-verbal communication.
If your child is showing several of these signs, they might be burning out. The best thing you can do is slow things down, reduce demands, and create a safe, low-pressure space for them to recover.
Let them know it’s okay to rest and that their feelings are valid 💙

NUSome of the behaviours that stretch us the most as parents are actually signs our kids with ADHD are doing better than we think.
Here are 5 “annoying” behaviours that often signal growth ⬇️
1️⃣ Talking constantly or narrating everything
For many kids with ADHD, this is a sign they feel safe, connected, and regulated enough to share their thoughts. When they’re overwhelmed, they often go quiet or shut down.
2️⃣ Asking the same questions again and again
This isn’t ignoring or pushing buttons. ADHD affects working memory, so kids often need to re-check information to feel secure and oriented.
3️⃣ Big emotional reactions to small things
Strong emotional expression can mean your child feels safe enough to let those feelings out. Suppressing emotions takes more regulation than expressing them.
4️⃣ Pushing back, saying “no,” or questioning rules
This often reflects growing self-awareness and autonomy. ADHD kids who are constantly controlled may comply - but at the cost of confidence and self-trust.
5️⃣ Hyperfocusing on intense or “weird” interests
This is how ADHD brains learn best. Interest-based focus builds competence, motivation, and self-esteem - even if it doesn’t look productive to adults.
None of this means parenting is easy.
And none of it means you should ignore limits or boundaries.
But when we understand the why behind behaviour,
we can respond with support instead of shame -
and regulation instead of escalation.
That’s exactly what Taming Big Emotions is designed to help with.
Inside the course, you’ll learn how to:
• respond to big emotions in the moment
• reduce power struggles and emotional blow-ups
• support your child’s nervous system first
• build emotional regulation skills that grow over time
👉 Taming Big Emotions is linked in my bio.
You’re not failing.
You’re parenting a developing nervous system - and that’s hard work 💛
