October 17, 2025 / Posted by in Fitness and Health

As I write this article, I’m constantly checking on my sleeping child via CCTV, as he is at the tail-end of a back-to-back respiratory infection that got me on a wild anxiety spiral (because the first infection landed us in the hospital!).

I know I’m not alone. Flu season is in full swing, and every parent of school-aged kids can feel it. ERs are packed to the brim with sick children (and adults!), the lines at doctors’ clinics are long, and moms and dads are catching whatever their kids had, bringing the whole house down.

Supporting Neurodivergent Children: What Every Parent or Caregiver Should Know

Today, we call this neurodivergence.

Some of my students are neurodivergent, with autism, ADHD, dyslexia, or other learning differences. In conversations with parents, I’ve felt how confusing and overwhelming it can be to figure out the next steps. After teaching neurodivergent kids, I want to share what I’ve learned to better support parents, teachers, and caregivers.
