Full disclosure, about two years ago Jim (husband) lost his job and we decided he’d come on board with Theatre of Science. He’s been incredible - he keeps the house running now and does the magazine, and took on all the jobs that were keeping me up until 2am. Long story short he’s away this week so I’m having to pack the last flurry of eclipse-glasses packs myself and I have no idea what I’m doing. Like, there might be small animals or cereal included in the welcome packs of anyone who signs up today. Luckily he’ll be back for when the complaints roll in…

If you still haven’t got / heard of my VERY good magazine offer… I stream free lessons to home educators and some of them choose to pay me 🥰 As a thank you I send those people a science magazine I write - the latest issue is about insects and comes with free eclipse glasses, which you need if you want to watch the excellent solar eclipse on 12th August! Today’s the last day I’ll be posting the glasses as it’s too much admin after that making sure they’ve arrived in time and I’d feel awful if they didn’t! Link to sign up is in my story (and I’ll put it in the comments but Facebook seems to have stopped making them click-able so, cool 😬).

SECOND CHANCE SUNDAY

What if a child with predominantly inattentive ADHD could tell us what life feels like from their perspective?

Behind the daydreaming, forgetfulness or missed instructions is often a child who is trying incredibly hard. They don’t need more criticism—they need understanding, patience and support that works with their brain, not against it.

This visual shares some of the thoughts many children with inattentive ADHD wish the adults around them could hear. Sometimes, changing the way we respond can make all the difference to a child’s confidence and wellbeing.

SECOND CHANCE SUNDAY

Many people have heard the terms Dyslexia, Dysgraphia, Dyspraxia, and Dyscalculia, but are often unsure what they actually mean or how they can affect a child’s everyday life.

Understanding these differences helps us move beyond labels and recognise the unique strengths, challenges, and support needs of each child. These are not measures of intelligence. They are differences in how the brain processes information, learns skills, and interacts with the world.

In this latest visual, we’ve broken down the key features and common signs of each profile to help parents, educators, and carers build a clearer understanding.
