Motherkind Moment is your place for calm and connection and a shift in perspective before the week ahead. 

Elaine Halligan shares how her son Sam’s extreme school struggles led her to retrain as a behavioural specialist. She explores why children aren’t “being a problem” but are often “having a problem” — and how understanding this changes everything. Elaine offers practical insights into neurodiversity, emotional behaviour, and how parents can shift from correction to connection.
