🎈 Rising Kites is TWO! 🎈

As September has brought with it the usual back-to-school flurry, Rising Kites has quietly completed her second loop around the sun. ☀️🪁

We are so incredibly thankful to each and every one of our precious students, past and present, and their families, for inviting us into their journeys and trusting us to be part of them. It really is a privilege. 💕

We are also so grateful to our wonderful community for embracing us, recommending us and spreading the word about what we do. And to the outstanding wider team we have around us… Amanda Bower Therapy, Reflex Reset, The Autism and ADHD Service and Flourishing Futures — thank you for collaborating with us, supporting our families and making our little multidisciplinary network so special. We couldn’t do it without you!

And finally, an extra-special shout-out to our husbands and children. ❤️ Thank you for believing in our dream, encouraging us to take risks, and for blowing wind into our sails when we’ve needed it most. Rising Kites really is a family project. 🪁😆

Here’s to two years of learning, growing, supporting, collaborating and, most importantly, celebrating the wonderful children and young people at the heart of everything we do.

Happy 2nd birthday, Rising Kites! 🥂🪁

📚 Teachers – a few spaces still available!

There are still spaces available on Reflex Reset’s course for teachers, taking place in Burford on 25th September, with our lovely Katy Oatridge. 💛

The course will explore assessing neuromotor readiness for learning using the INPP approach, with practical insights to help teachers better understand the relationship between neuromotor development and learning.

A really interesting opportunity for teachers and educational professionals looking to deepen their understanding in this area.

Find out more about the INPP approach here:

🌼 Welcome back after the Easter break 🌼

A warm welcome back to all our Rising Kites pupils (and their families) as we begin a new term together. We hope you had a restful and refreshing break.

There is so much important discussion at the moment amongst parents, teachers, and in the wider media about how childhood is changing and how this is impacting child development. At Rising Kites, we are continually reflecting, researching, and updating our knowledge to ensure our support remains current, thoughtful, and effective.

📖 The latest book we are reading together is The Anxious Generation by Jonathan Haidt. We are really enjoying learning from it as a team and exploring its ideas together.

If you’re interested, we warmly encourage you to pick up a copy, read along with us, and share your thoughts—we would love to hear them.

Here’s to a positive and supported term ahead for all our children. 🪁

Parenting a Child with ADHD: Why It Feels So Hard and What Actually Helps

Join Blanka Kellermayer for a talk on parenting a child with ADHD.

Wednesday 17th June 5:30pm-7pm. Tickets are free but must be acquired through Eventbrite https://www.eventbrite.com/e/parenting-a-child-with-adhd-why-it-feels-so-hard-and-what-actually-helps-tickets-1986983884286?utm-campaign=social&utm-content=attendeeshare&utm-medium=discovery&utm-term=listing&utm-source=cp&aff=ebdsshcopyurl

ADHD isn’t just about distraction or hyperactivity. It is a difference in how a child’s brain develops and functions. For many families, this shows up as emotional outbursts, daily battles, and a constant sense of things feeling harder than they should.
In this practical and supportive talk, neuroscientist and parenting coach Blanka Kellermayer will help parents and carers understand what is really going on beneath their child’s behaviour. She will explain why traditional discipline approaches often backfire with ADHD, and what works more effectively instead.
You will learn:
• What is happening in the ADHD brain in simple, relatable terms, so your child’s behaviour starts to make sense
• Why behaviour is not just naughtiness, helping you respond with more confidence and less frustration
• Practical strategies to support emotional regulation, cooperation, and daily routines, so daily battles start to ease and you feel more in control as a parent
Parents will leave with a clearer understanding of their child and practical tools they can use straight away to reduce daily battles, handle meltdowns with more confidence, and bring more calm and cooperation into everyday family life.
Bio
Blanka Kellermayer, PhD, is a neuroscientist and peaceful parenting coach specialising in ADHD, emotional regulation, and brain development. She combines neuroscience with practical, compassionate parenting strategies to help families reduce daily struggles and build stronger connection. As both a scientist and a parent of a child with ADHD, her work is grounded in research and shaped by real life experience.
Blanka believes that when parents understand what is really going on in the ADHD brain, they can move beyond frustration and start supporting their children with more confidence, empathy, and ease. Through her talks, workshops, courses, and one to one coaching, she supports parents to reduce daily battles, strengthen connection, and create calmer, more cooperative family life.
