As we move into 2026, many parents I work with are naming the same thing: they are tired of advice that ignores context, nervous systems, and the realities of everyday family life.
For families with neurodivergent children, the pressure to “do more” or “be more consistent” often increases strain rather than reducing it. What helps is not more effort, but better structure — support that fits inside real lives instead of competing with them.
This is why, in 2026, my work is centred around The Quirky Parenting Project.
TQPP is a short-term, family-systems-informed program for parents in neurodivergent families who want everyday life to feel calmer and more workable, without turning support into ongoing therapy. The program is designed to help parents step back, notice patterns, and make small, thoughtful shifts that reduce repetition, escalation, and exhaustion.
The work is not about fixing children or enforcing rules. It focuses on adjusting the system around the family — routines, communication, expectations, and pressure points — so that life can settle.
Groups run online in small, contained cohorts and require around two hours per week. Many parents notice changes that feel subtle but significant: softer communication, clearer routines, and less strain in the spaces that used to feel stuck.
