A workbook and in-the-moment reference sheet for parents navigating emotional and sensory overwhelm — yours, and your child's.

One for the quiet moments when you want to think, plan, and understand. One for the loud moments when you just need a map.
A structured, fillable workbook that walks you through the five steps of the ESO framework — identifying your own triggers and your child's, recognising the warning signs, building a toolkit of calming responses, and creating a plan for the next hard moment before it arrives.
Print it. Stick it on the fridge. Save it to your lock screen. When a meltdown starts, you don't have time to flip through a workbook — you need a clear, calm reminder of what to do next. This is that reminder.
ESO stands for Emotional and Sensory Overwhelm — the combined flooding that drives most "meltdowns," shutdowns, and challenging behaviour. Every child experiences it. Neurodivergent children tend to experience it more frequently and with greater intensity. The guide walks through five steps for meeting it — whatever your child's profile.
Recognise overwhelm for what it is — not defiance, not attention-seeking, but a nervous system asking for help.
Identify the emotional and sensory inputs that are tipping the balance — for you, and for your child.
Learn the early cues so you can step in before a full meltdown lands, rather than after.
Build a toolkit of regulation strategies that actually fit your child's profile — not generic advice.
Turn it all into a personalised ESO plan you can come back to, refine, and share with school or co-parents.
Jayde is a Registered Psychologist and the founder of Neurobright. She has spent years working in psychological assessment contexts — understanding how neurodivergence shapes a person's capacity to function in a world not built for their nervous system.
She is also the parent of a neurodivergent child. The ESO framework is the one she developed for her own family, refined across thousands of clinical hours, and now shares with other parents who are tired of advice that doesn't land.
This guide is education and support — not therapy or clinical advice. But it is grounded in the same science and the same lived experience that shapes the work she does every day.
