June 18: A page of your own
June is OUR screen free Living for children and teens MONTH!
Today's challenge: spend some time creating something instead of scrolling.
It doesn't have to be perfect. It doesn't have to be shared online. In fact, nobody else even needs to see it.
Give your teen a notebook and ask them to write down their thoughts or sketch something that's caught their eye recently or make up a story, write a poem, doodle in the margins or simply put pen to paper and see what happens.
We spend so much time consuming content every day - watching videos, reading posts, liking, sharing and scrolling - that it's easy to forget how satisfying it can be to create something of our own.
This challenge isn't about being artistic or talented. It's about giving their mind the chance to wander, imagine and express itself without worrying about what anyone else thinks.
So find them a quiet spot, put their phone to one side and let them start with a blank page. You never know where it might lead.

Right now, around 1 in 5 people in your team may be neurodivergent. That means they might process information differently, communicate differently, and experience your management style very differently from what you intend. Most managers are doing their best with almost no guidance on any of this. This session changes that.
In 45 focused minutes, you will get a clear, honest grounding in what neuroinclusive management actually looks like in practice. We will remove the deficit-framed thinking about "difficult" team members and discuss practical, human-centred approaches you can implement immediately.
This is not a session about diagnosing your team or becoming an overnight expert. It is about adjusting the conditions you create as a manager so that more of your people can do their best work, without having to constantly advocate for themselves to be heard.
A note on what this is not
This is not a session about spotting who is neurodivergent on your team. You do not need to know. Neuroinclusive management works by improving the conditions for everyone, so the people who need it most are not left having to ask.
