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.

Email & Admin Processing Blocks

For when emails, bills, forms, and life admin pile up into an overwhelming backlog because none of them feel urgent enough to start

Steps

Schedule two 15-minute 'admin blocks' per day (not more — keeping them short is the point)
Set a timer. When it goes off, you stop — even if you haven't finished
Process emails using the 2-minute rule: if it takes less than 2 minutes, do it now. Otherwise, star it and move on
Keep a 'waiting for' list so you don't lose track of things you've delegated or are expecting responses on
Celebrate completing the block, not clearing the inbox. Done is better than empty

What you need

A timer, an email app with star/flag function

Why it works

ADHD brains struggle with tasks that have no urgency, novelty, or immediate reward. Admin tasks tick none of those boxes. Time-boxing creates artificial urgency and a clear endpoint, which activates the 'just get through it' gear.

Age guidance

Adults only.

Real-world example

One adult with ADHD had 3,400 unread emails. Instead of trying to clear them, they declared 'email bankruptcy' — archived everything, and started fresh with 15-minute blocks. Within a month, their inbox was manageable for the first time in years.

Troubleshooting

If 15 minutes feels too long, start with 5. The habit matters more than the duration
If you hyperfocus and blow past the timer, set a second alarm 2 minutes after the first
Use separate email addresses for personal vs admin if mixing them causes overwhelm
