À propos de cet audio

 What’s it really like parenting a child with ADHD and autism? How can parents, teachers, and communities better support neurodivergent children? How do autistic and ADHD individuals experience the world? Each week, we explore these questions with practical strategies, emotional insight, and real stories. I’m Greer — a mum of two boys (and two dogs!) raising a child with special educational needs (SEN) alongside my husband. Our daily life looks different from the norm, but it’s full of love, advocacy, and growth. I started this podcast to create a space for parents of neurodivergent kids, educators, and allies to learn, connect, and build understanding together. You’ll hear parenting tips, advocacy guidance, sensory strategies, and personal reflections that shine a light on both the joys and challenges of neurodivergent parenting. Through heartfelt solo episodes and guest interviews, we’ll talk about EHCP or IEP processes, school support, emotional regulation, and the big feelings that come with raising ND kids. Whether you’re here as a parent of an autistic or ADHD child, a late-diagnosed adult, a teacher seeking insight, or someone wanting to understand the neurodivergent world, this podcast is your space to grow, connect, and know you’re not alone. Welcome to The Unfinished Idea — a podcast all about parenting, autism, ADHD, and life in a neurodivergent family. Here, we open up honest conversations about neurodiversity, raising neurodivergent children, and navigating the everyday realities of SEN parenting.That Sounds Fun Network 2024 Relations Sciences sociales Éducation des enfants

  • Parenting Burnout in Neurodivergent Families: Signs, Symptoms, and Micro Steps to Recover with Eleonora

    Parenting Burnout in Neurodivergent Families: Signs, Symptoms, and Micro Steps to Recover with Eleonora
    Jan 22 2026
    You can be “fine” on paper and still be running on empty. If you’re doing the school meetings, the appointments, the meals, the meltdowns, and the mental load, but you can’t remember the last time you booked your own doctor’s appointment, this episode is for you. We’re naming burnout for what it is, what it looks like in real life, and the smallest first step to stop the spiral before you hit the wall. Today’s guest is Eleonora, who supports families and caregivers and has a real-life, practical lens on what burnout looks like for parents, especially those raising neurodivergent kids. In this conversation, we talk about the difference between being tired and being depleted, how burnout builds over time, and what “caring for the caregiver” can look like when your life already feels maxed out. In this episode, we cover: what burnout actually is, and the questions that reveal it (sleep, food, water, emotional reactions, and how you respond in crisis) burnout vs regular parenting exhaustion, and why burnout is not solved by one good night of sleep the “caregiver balance sheet” idea, and how noticing patterns helps you interrupt them self-care myths that keep parents stuck (it has to be expensive, it has to take hours, it’s selfish) micro moments that actually work, like a five-minute pause, silence, darkness, or a tiny check-in with yourself a surprisingly powerful strategy: removing one task from your plate and delegating it fully how to make it easier to accept help by keeping a list of three things someone can do when they ask why this matters for the whole family, because caring for yourself supports your ability to show up with clarity and resilience Ready for a reset?

  • ADHD Budgeting That Actually Works (Without Shame) — with Jules the Budget Nerd

    ADHD Budgeting That Actually Works (Without Shame) — with Jules the Budget Nerd
    Jan 15 2026
    Ever feel like you’ll “deal with it later”… and then later never comes? In this episode, Jules (aka Jules the Budget Nerd) and I talk about what money looks like with an ADHD brain—impulse spending, shame spirals, and why “perfect budgeting” can actually make things worse. And yes… we also talk about budgeting as self-care (even if you hate that phrase). Jules is a budgeting coach who helps people get out of debt with practical systems that don’t rely on rigid spreadsheets or unrealistic willpower. She shares her own story—knowing the “right” money rules, still ending up in a runaway debt train, and the guilt of feeling like she should be doing better. In our conversation, we chat about: Why ADHD + credit cards can turn into a “later” problem that keeps growing Letting your budget flex by season (debt payoff season, saving season, trip season) How to stop trying to do everything at once—because it’s exhausting and it backfires “Fun money” as a permission slip (and a relationship-saver) ADHD-friendly systems that reduce decision fatigue (hello grocery pickup + fewer temptations) A simple way to model money habits for kids: talk about money, set a store goal, and play “would you rather” If you’re a neurodivergent mama (or raising a neurodivergent kid) and money feels like one more place you’re “failing”… this episode will feel like a deep exhale—and a reset you can actually follow through on.

  • Sensory Meltdowns : A Realistic Reset for Parents Raising Neurodivergent Kids

    Sensory Meltdowns : A Realistic Reset for Parents Raising Neurodivergent Kids
    Jan 8 2026
    Christmas is over… but your nervous system didn’t get the memo. If you’re heading into January feeling fried, overstimulated, and like you’re already behind, this episode is your permission slip to reset realistically—emotionally, mentally, and practically. Laura and I talk about what’s actually going on underneath sensory meltdowns (hint: it’s communication), how to spot your own “I’m not okay” signs before you crash, and how to be more proactive than reactive when your child is dysregulated. My guest, Laura, has a background in teaching and now supports parents navigating the toughest parts of neurodivergent family life—especially sensory overload and meltdowns. She’s also the creator of The PAUSE Method, a practical digital course built for real life (because “accessible support” isn’t accessible when evenings are meltdown central). Here’s what we get into—like you’re sitting with us at the kitchen table: What a realistic reset looks like for overwhelmed parents: noticing what’s not working, celebrating the “tiny acts of courage” you forget you do daily, and spotting your own distress signals before burnout hits. A mindset shift for meltdowns: your child isn’t “being aggressive”—their body might be asking for sensory input (like proprioceptive/deep pressure needs). Practical sensory supports you can try: wall pushes, press-ups, throwing/catching, “indoor snowballs,” weighted blankets, deep pressure, and learning what your child’s movement is telling you. Why “proactive not reactive” matters (and what a sensory diet actually means). Laura’s PAUSE Method breakdown: physiology, adult awareness, unhelpful thoughts, stress & demands, and boundaries—so you’re not just surviving the meltdown, you’re changing what happens around it too. And the note I hope lands the deepest: nothing is broken—we just need different strategies (and sometimes a couple of recharge breaks).
