parents/raising kids…
If you’ve found yourself here because you didn’t expect to be raising neurodivergent kids…
Hi! Me neither!
I qualified as a mental health nurse at the end of 2010, had kids in 2012, 2014, 2016 & 2018 (no, I didn’t plan that but I love a pattern, so yes, I’m secretly proud!) and realised mine didn’t quite think/act the same way as a lot of babies/toddlers/kids around us.
School hit for my second daughter and we abandoned that ship after 1.5 years (I wish I’d done it WAY sooner!)
Anyway - I’m supposed to keep it short an sweet, so - I wrote about school trauma here 👇🏼
We felt like we’d been thrown into the deep end and were sinking fast when our second child went to school.
I sat with the kids to think about some of the things they thought, felt, said and did during those earlier years and how we’ve managed to survive all the chaos that came our way!
We hope it helps you feel less alone and more empowered while you find your feet in this season.
The BIGGEST thing I’ve realised over the last 2 years (after mentally and physically crashing) is HOW important is it to put yourself FIRST.
No, it’s not selfish - it’s essential.
So, I made myself a planner, then realised my kids would benefit from them too!
*ADHD*
and/or
Overwhelmed / Overstimulated / Brain fog / Menopausal / Peri-menopausal / Exhausted / Low mood
Download the ‘Back On Track’ planner & A4 extras 👇🏼
*Remember to also download ‘Back On Track extras’ for your A4 resources that go with this - I couldn’t add A4 & A5 to the same file so had to upload them separately*
This planner is a big one, it’s 200 pages just for Sept & Oct!
This one is for anyone who’s struggling with life and needing guidance, connection, and small changes that stack up to help you heal.
I’m just editing a longer video for YouTube @SkylarkHopeAndJoy , I’ll add a link here when it’s done! It’s just over 30mins so it goes into a lot more detail on the planner!
What it includes:
👉🏼 Quietening the noise around you and focusing on what you need to begin healing
👉🏼 Meal plans & shopping lists
👉🏼 Cleaning plans
👉🏼 Birthday & Christmas ideas
👉🏼 Goals
👉🏼 Mistakes
👉🏼 Fears
👉🏼 Prayer
👉🏼 Daily checklists - focused on your essentials, and the ‘big 4’ - reconnecting, gratitude, journaling & moving.
👉🏼 Diary
Every 2 months I’ll update with the next 2 months’ worth, there will likely be add ons as we go!
If you have any suggestions or pages you’d like added to help you, let me know and I’ll see if I can create them.
I’d you’d like us to print and send you this planner, head to ‘we’ll print & ship to you!’

These are the practical resources that accompany the A4 planner and are for Sept 2026 - August 2027.
I filmed a video at 11pm the other night just to run through what’s in the Back On Track planner… I will update it soon with a less tired version of me and one that’s a in a prettier part of the house! 👇🏼

Another HUGE life lesson recently?
We need community.
I wanted to chat, without the judgement and opinions of strangers that come from social media…👇🏼
We have a Skool community for families to chat, connect, ask any mental health questions, photography competition, nature art, nature bingo - to check it out or join, click the picture below 👇🏼
* If you’d want a separate adult only one to talk about anything you wouldn’t want the kids seeing, let me know *
PLAYLISTS
Music is so powerful, so we’ve created playlists on YouTube to help you through more difficult moments.
Click the photo to take a listen.
Prayer?
We’ve experienced how powerful prayer is, and no, there is no-one “better” or “worse” than anyone else at it!
But, if you want us to pray for you when we get together, click the photo and let us know in the form what you want prayer for ♡
We’ve got this narrative that self care is selfish but the truth is the
*ABSOLUTE OPPOSITE*.
In order to live your healthiest life - and give the healthiest version of you to anyone around you - you HAVE to learn who you are and what you need… repeatedly… because we change!
* If you’re in a season where you don’t have the money for any downloads or to joint the Skool community - PLEASE email me, I want this to be accessible for everyone. *
