Supporting parents of pre-school children with ADHD
The Mindful Mama Collective
Helping children become more comfortable with themselves, and parents more confident in how they support them.
If you have a young child with ADHD, this might feel familiar…
-
Fine in some environments… but everything falls apart at home
-
Needs constant support or gets stuck
-
Avoids, argues, or shuts down over small things
-
Can cope one minute… then suddenly overwhelmed
-
Big feelings can build quickly, while understanding what is happening emotionally is still developing.
-
Seems like they understand… but instructions don’t stay
-
Finds change really stressful
This isn’t just behaviour...
Many children feel emotions before they have the words to explain them.
For children with ADHD, those feelings can come quickly and intensely,
while the part of the brain that helps them slow down and make sense of it is still developing.
When there’s no clear structure, no direction, and everything feels uncertain…
the behaviour is what you see on the surface.​

Unique Parent Support Programme
If you’re ready to move from understanding to actually putting this into place…
I offer a simple 4-week parent support programme where I guide you step by step.
This programme brings together everything I use in practice, including my books and materials, designed to help children understand what’s happening internally, while building structure, consistency, and emotional understanding.
It’s based on how children actually develop,
not just behaviour strategies.

Why Stories and Play Work
Young children cannot learn emotional regulation through instruction alone.Understanding develops through stories, play, and repeated experiences.The Casper & Bentley resources gently introduce emotional language so children can recognise feelings before they are expected to manage them.
Supporting Children at Home and in Education
The Casper and Bentley resources are used by:
​
• parents supporting children with ADHD
• home-school families
• nurseries and early years settings
• primary school classrooms
The aim is not simply to manage behaviour, but to help children gradually understand themselves emotionally over time.
Ongoing support for your child’s development
Parent Support Sessions
Need something more immediate?
If you’re looking for one-to-one support, I offer individual parent sessions where we can focus on what’s happening in your home and what to do next.
Journal subscription
​
Understanding your child is just the beginning.
My journal subscription is designed to support you both as things start to change day to day.
With simple, stage-based guidance, your child can begin to recognise and understand their feelings in a way that feels safe and manageable.
How I can support you?
Supporting children, one small step at a time
You do not need perfect words or perfect strategies to support your child. Small moments of safety, understanding, and connection can make a lasting difference. Over time, these moments help children feel calmer, more secure, and more confident in themselves. Whether you are just beginning or already supporting a child with big feelings, children can look capable externally while emotional awareness is still developing underneath. Gentle, consistent support can help emotional skills grow naturally.
