Some kids don’t want to read or write — not because they’re defiant, but because their brain struggles to process what their eyes see. Visual Processing Disorder (VPD) can go unnoticed for years. This blog helps you spot the signs, understand the struggle, and offers five practical ways to support your child.
Is your child bright but constantly overwhelmed in social situations or misreading others? Learn how Nonverbal Learning Disorder (NLD) affects social understanding and emotions—and discover practical ways to support your child with clarity and compassion.
What if your child labelled as “defiant” is actually overwhelmed, misunderstood, and doing their best to cope with an internal storm? Lets step into the world of a child with Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) exploring what’s really happening beneath the surface and how parents can respond with compassion and clarity to support lasting change.

We explore why those feelings happen, especially for parents raising children with challenging behaviours like ODD, and offers four grounded, compassionate strategies to help you reconnect with yourself, your child, and the hope that things can change.
