Thriive is designed for parents and carers of neurodivergent children (ADHD, autism, dyslexia, dyspraxia, sensory processing differences, and more). Whether you have a diagnosis or are still figuring things out, Thriive helps you manage daily life.

My child hasn't been formally diagnosed yet. Is this still useful?

Absolutely. Many of the strategies in Thriive are helpful for any child who struggles with focus, emotional regulation, or executive function — diagnosis or not.

What features does Thriive include?

Thriive includes visual routine builders, a challenge tracker with pattern detection, a strategy library tailored to your child's neurodivergent profile, daily check-ins, mood tracking, and shareable reports for doctors and schools.

Yes — Thriive is free to start with core features. A Pro tier is available for families who want advanced tracking, unlimited routines, and additional features.

Is this just for UK families?

While Thriive includes UK-specific resources (NHS, SENCO, EHCP guidance), the core strategies and tools are universal. Families worldwide use Thriive to support their neurodivergent children.

Bedtime Visual Schedule

Bedtime turns into a battle of stalling, negotiations, and reasons to stay up just a little longer

Steps

Create a visual sequence: bath → pyjamas → teeth → story → bed
Display at child's eye level in the bathroom/bedroom
Let them 'lead' the routine by following the pictures
Include a special final step they look forward to (story choice, 5 min cuddle)

What you need

Visual schedule (printed or on device), consistent routine

Why it works

Children with ADHD and Autism thrive on predictability. A visual bedtime schedule removes the ambiguity that fuels stalling and negotiation. When 'the schedule is the boss', it takes the battle out of the parent-child dynamic and makes bedtime feel collaborative rather than confrontational.

Age guidance

Works best for ages 3-9. Older children may prefer a written checklist they manage themselves.

Real-world example

Parents often find that the 'special final step' is the magic ingredient. One child insisted on choosing the next morning's socks as the last step before lights out — it gave them something to look forward to and a sense of control over the transition.

Troubleshooting

If they resist one step, offer a choice within it: 'Red pyjamas or blue?'
Avoid 'just one more' requests. The schedule is the boss!
