When your child’s behaviour pushes your buttons, it’s worth getting curious about why that particular behaviour feels so hard for you.

Maybe you weren’t allowed to say no as a child.
Maybe big emotions weren’t tolerated.
Maybe you learned that being a “good” child meant being quiet and compliant.
Maybe being ignored feels disrespectful.
Maybe losing control of a situation makes you anxious.

Sometimes we aren’t just responding to what our child is doing.

We’re responding to what their behaviour brings up in us.

That doesn’t mean we should never feel frustrated, angry or overwhelmed. It means our reactions can give us useful information.

Before asking, “How do I stop this behaviour?” try asking:

“Why is this behaviour so triggering for me?”
Understanding your child matters.
Understanding yourself does too.

School mornings can feel like a lot before the day has even properly begun — especially for a neurodivergent child who may already be managing transitions, sensory needs, executive functioning demands and anxiety about what lies ahead.

A few small changes can reduce the number of demands their brain has to process first thing. Preparing things the night before, keeping routines predictable, allowing extra transition time and using fewer words when stress is rising can all help make mornings feel more manageable.

It isn’t about creating a “perfect” morning. It’s about removing some of the pressure points where we can.

If you would like a copy of my BiteSize Guide to Back to School for the Neurodivergent Child, follow the page, like this post and let me know in the comments. All steps must be completed.
