A useful article for all of us to improve understanding of ADHD in teenagers and young adults …

ADHD diagnosis has risen in recent years, particularly among adults. But we need to improve how we view and treat it

A great way to get young children to appreciate plants and watch them grow 🌱 🪴 🌱…

Merry Christmas all! Sending very best wishes and look forward to seeing you in the new year …🎄

Do you ever notice your teen speaking to themselves in ways you would never allow anyone else to speak to them?

When a teen seems stuck in a loop of negative self-talk — “I’m not good enough,” “I always mess up,” “What’s the point?” — it can be deeply worrying. You are not alone, and neither is your teen.

Many teens aren’t struggling because something is wrong with them, but because they’ve learned patterns of thinking that quietly chip away at confidence. These patterns can become automatic, especially during adolescence when the brain is highly sensitive to threat, comparison, and perceived failure.

The encouraging news is that thoughts are not facts — they’re habits. And habits can be changed.

Rather than trying to argue your teen out of their thoughts or rushing to reassure them, it can help to gently guide them to notice what they’re saying to themselves. When a thought is questioned rather than immediately believed, it begins to lose its power. Confidence doesn’t come from constant positivity; it grows when teens learn they don’t have to obey every thought their mind produces.

Your calm presence matters more than perfect words. Curiosity, patience, and consistency create safety — and safety is what allows real change to happen.

Teen mindset coaching helps young people understand how their mind works so they can feel more in control of their emotions, resilience, and self-belief — and thrive from the inside out.

I have some space in January. If you are interested in learning more, drop me a message and we can arrange a chat.

Great to see ‘beyond the classroom’ clubs and societies thriving at RGS so students gain an appreciation of food production as well as potential careers
