Implementing the strategies provided by BrainHug Solutions has been a real turning point for our family, especially for my 8.5-year-old son. Through BrainHug, we learned how important it is to recognise his trigger points, particularly around transitions — like coming home from school or getting ready to go out for family activities.

One of the key strategies we put in place was allowing him 30 minutes to self-regulate before expecting him to transition to a new task. Giving him that space, without rushing or pressuring him, made an immediate and noticeable difference. We also learned the importance of reducing demands on him during these transition periods, allowing him to decompress and regain his emotional balance without feeling overwhelmed.

BrainHug has also made me reflect deeply on my own responses as a parent. It taught me to put more emphasis on my emotional reactions and how I manage situations, understanding that my calmness and approach play a big part in helping my son feel safe and supported.

Thanks to BrainHug, we’ve seen fewer meltdowns, smoother transitions, and a stronger connection between us. It has given us both practical tools and a better understanding of how to work together, making daily life much more manageable and positive.
