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.

Planning and Prioritisation

Your child can't work out what to do first or how to plan a task

Steps

Use a simple 'first, then, finally' board for any multi-part task
Help them identify the ONE most important thing to do first
Break projects into small steps written on separate cards or sticky notes
Use a visual planner or wall calendar they can see daily
Review the plan together each morning or evening

What you need

First/then board, sticky notes, visual planner

Why it works

ADHD brains struggle with executive function — the ability to evaluate, sequence, and prioritise tasks. Everything feels equally important or equally unimportant, which leads to paralysis. A first-then-finally board makes the sequence visible and the decision external rather than internal.

Age guidance

Works from age 6 onwards. Keep the system simple — no more than 3 items per day. Younger children need you to set priorities; older children can learn to set their own.

Real-world example

A parent wrote three sticky notes each morning: the most important thing, the second, and 'if there's time.' Their child, who'd been frozen by a mental list of 10 things, started completing all three most days. The simplicity was what made it work.

Troubleshooting

If everything feels equally important, help them pick by asking 'What's due soonest?'
Keep plans visible. Out of sight is out of mind for ADHD brains
Avoid overloading the plan. 3 items maximum per day
