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.

Body Doubling for Adults

You can't focus or start tasks when you're alone

Steps

Ask a friend, partner, or family member to sit near you while you work
Try virtual body doubling: video call a friend, both work on separate tasks
Use body doubling apps or online co-working sessions (Focusmate, Flow Club)
Go to a café or library. The ambient presence of others can help
Even having a pet nearby can provide enough 'presence' for some people

What you need

Another person (in person or virtual), or a public workspace

Why it works

ADHD brains struggle with task initiation and sustained attention when alone. The presence of another person — even virtually or passively — provides just enough external accountability to get the dopamine system engaged. It's not about supervision; it's about the neurological effect of shared presence.

Age guidance

Designed for adults. Teens with ADHD can also benefit from body doubling for homework or chores.

Real-world example

A parent who'd been procrastinating on admin for weeks video-called a friend and said 'I just need you on screen while I do paperwork.' They got through a month's worth of filing in 45 minutes. Neither of them spoke — but the presence was enough.

Troubleshooting

You don't need to explain WHY it helps. Just ask for the company
Virtual body doubling works surprisingly well, even with a stranger
If you can't find a person, try a 'study with me' YouTube livestream
