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.

Time Blindness Toolkit

You consistently misjudge how long things take and run late

Steps

Use analogue clocks where possible. They make time visible
Set alarms for transitions: 'leave in 15 min', 'leave in 5 min', 'leave NOW'
Time yourself doing routine tasks and write down the ACTUAL time they take
Build buffer time into everything: if you think it'll take 10 min, schedule 20
Use a 'getting ready' alarm that accounts for your real prep time, not your optimistic guess

What you need

Analogue clock, phone alarms, a notebook for time-tracking

Why it works

Time blindness is a core ADHD trait — the brain genuinely cannot perceive time passing accurately. External time-making tools compensate for the internal clock that doesn't work reliably. Tracking actual task durations builds a realistic picture that overrides the brain's optimistic guessing.

Age guidance

Designed for adults. Many parents discover time blindness while supporting their ADHD child and realise they have it too.

Real-world example

One parent timed themselves getting ready in the morning for a week and discovered it took 45 minutes, not the 15 they'd always assumed. Setting their alarm 30 minutes earlier eliminated years of chronic lateness almost overnight.

Troubleshooting

Time blindness isn't laziness. Your brain genuinely can't feel time passing
Visual timers (like Time Timer) work for adults too, not just kids
Ask a trusted person to text you a 'time to leave' reminder if alarms aren't enough
