Chaotic-Minds

✨ Some of the reasons for this are:

✨Typing instead of hand writing is affecting the way the brain processes and remembers information compared to hand writing;

✨Attention and focus is affected looking at screens compared to reading books;

✨ Emotional regulation is affected;
social interaction, communication and learning are all affected by lack of movement…

📚 Parents are being told that more screens mean better learning… but that may not be what the research is showing. During a recent Senate hearing, brain expert Jared Cooney Horvath explained that the way children learn hasn’t changed simply because technology exists. Screens don’t automatically improve understanding. More digital content doesn’t always mean more effective learning. And sitting in front of a device all day isn’t the same as genuinely engaging with education. This is why many families are rethinking how their children learn and placing greater emphasis on: • Hands-on learning • Real books • Meaningful conversations • Curiosity-led exploration • Freedom to learn at their own pace Children need opportunities to move, explore, ask questions, and engage with the world around them—not just consume content through a screen. If you’ve been feeling like something is off, you’re not alone. 🤍 🎙️ Credit: Jared Cooney Horvath — Senate Hearing 🤍 Follow @betterparenting.co for more practical, evidence-backed parenting insights. #homeschool #homeschooling #education #parenting #childdevelopment

Turning Lived Trauma into a Legacy of Hope ❤️

📖📘I’ve spent all afternoon and this evening stepping back in time through the pages of old medical ledgers, piecing together the timeline of my daughter Farrah’s early years for Chapter 2 of my book.

📖 🩺 Re-reading the official clinical notes from those intense hospital visits, the sudden winter fevers, and the moments where her early babble vanished can still bring up emotions.

🥹 As a mother, standing by a hospital bedside feeling completely powerless is the deepest, darkest pit imaginable. But looking back now with decades of experiences and training, I can see that every single step of that terrifying storm was being purposefully guided. 🙏🏻💫

🧩I was gathering the exact puzzle pieces we needed to eventually clear the confusion and find our way through to Farrah’s life as it is now - a university graduate living independently and lots more. 🌈✨

🧩🥹 To every parent sitting by a bedside tonight or feeling overwhelmed by the day or celebrating a new milestone shift and at the same time totally exhausted: you are doing a fantastic job and you are not alone. When we look at the root causes and address these, the impossible becomes entirely possible.

💫So much is being revealed in past medical records and notes and calendars and diaries as evidence for me to have write this Chapter 2; as valuable artefacts that can uncover what autism actually is - so keep everything, diary as much as you can and always go with your gut feeling - it’s always right! 🥰❤️

Sending you all love and big hugs,
Caroline🥰💫

🙏🏻🌹💫Trust the Process! 🌹💫🙏🏻

🧩✨ Talk about a profound moment of alignment and tracking the data!🌹💫

💫 Yesterday, an Occupational Therapist left a beautiful comment on my post about completing the first chapter of my book, "Can't wait to read it!"

✨ Further inspired by that connection, I spent the late hours diving deep into the archives I have been saving over the past 30 years.

😲 Lo and behold, I unearthed an official NHS Occupational Therapy report for Farrah that had been tucked away!

💫🌹 When I looked down at the signature date, my jaw dropped. It was signed on the 2nd of September 2004. Exactly 20 years ago tomorrow. 🕒📜

🧐 Reading it today through the lens of my training in RMTi and neurodevelopmental movement, the official clinical pen has completely verified what my maternal intuition believed all along! 🥰

🕰️Twenty years ago, the specialists explicitly documented the exact unintegrated primitive reflex locks —like the Asymmetrical Tonic Neck Reflex (ATNR)—that prove her nervous system was operating in a protective survival "Safe Mode" from her earliest weeks of life [Sandin et al., 2024; Sohn et al., 2011].

💃💫 To celebrate this full-circle moment, I have officially polished and put back on my silver "missing piece of the puzzle" anchor necklace, which has sat in its box for years.

😶‍🌫️ The fog has cleared, the routine is back, the science is watertight, and the timing is absolutely perfect.

📖 Chapter 1 is sealed, and Chapter 2 is officially underway! 🌟🌈🔬

🌹💫 Reminding me to ‘Trust the Process!’🙏🏻

💖💖💖💫💫💫🌹🌹🌹🌟🌟🌟🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Finally…. If you are in a dark place and you feel that there is no end in sight, please keep going! Your future is what you make it. Take the leap of faith and feel the beauty in this world! Embrace your strength, love, and light and spread that everywhere! 🌟🐦‍🔥🪽🕊️✨🙏🏼🥹🫶🏼 Thank you for letting me see my light @mymidlife1050 #ressurection #pushthrough #bebrave #strengthwithin #motivationforlife
