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.

Homework Chunking

Your child feels overwhelmed by homework and refuses to start

Steps

Break homework into small chunks (5-10 minutes each)
Place one chunk at a time in front of your child
Take a 2-3 minute movement break between chunks
Use a timer to make each chunk feel manageable
Celebrate finishing each chunk

What you need

Timer, separate workspace, movement break ideas

Why it works

Children with ADHD, Dyslexia, and Dyscalculia often experience task paralysis when faced with large pieces of work. Breaking it into small chunks reduces the perceived size of the task and activates the reward system more frequently, making each piece feel achievable rather than impossible.

Age guidance

Works for all ages from 5 upwards. Younger children need shorter chunks (5 minutes), while teens can handle 15-20 minute blocks.

Real-world example

Parents often say the hardest part is getting their child to start at all. Placing just one chunk on the table — literally one worksheet or five questions — removes the visual overwhelm. One parent described it as the difference between 'a mountain and a stepping stone'.

Troubleshooting

Start with the easiest chunk to build momentum
If resistance continues, the chunks might be too large
Let your child choose the order of chunks
