<p>Parents are often told that boredom fuels creativity, but for neurodiverse kids, “just be bored” can feel more like distress than inspiration. In this insightful episode, Tania sits down with cognitive specialist and author Bea Moise to explore why boredom impacts autistic and ADHD brains differently, and what children actually need in those moments.</p><br><p>Together they unpack how novelty, structure, and movement support regulation and focus, and why sensory and executive-function differences make unstructured downtime hard for many neurodiverse kids. Bea offers compassionate, realistic tools to help parents balance stimulation with rest, foster creativity without chaos, and build environments where all kinds of brains can thrive.</p><br><p>This conversation reframes boredom not as a skill to be forced, but as a signal to be understood.</p><br><p>To find out more about Bea's work, click <a href="https://beatricemoise.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">here</a></p><p>Bea's Youtube Channel is also on fire, to subscribe click<a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSK6j2wWGqMLQPxzijVsYjQ" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> here</a></p><p>To purchase : "Our Neurodivergent Journey", click<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Our-Neurodivergent-Journey-Child-Like-ebook/dp/B0B5YTLCZQ/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1K8JNSUXMFCEB&amp;dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.VS4xTedVR-EyR4U6qd-ywTDxmQl2OfrilQnJ7_bUWJlYw71q6Lwb__CtGhA4txtHUAu66nyaKLigFPh4gvPiW54setsIIIEuViflAIwKMg9vVRo5V1F_qMQzgw51zoqChlUsVFK5s7o8OKh8cu9VUAPsUDE5473ITwoK7_vCCsDpDjS3GaIs1dEGiLhdazkKxHJFwU8Rga0jlOpdTiHQN1VvZDPV4SQpVprl0yJ-ax4.3e9B-Csw2rf9PCvrcSe4VBIJVFsZipst5TsROn0j9Yg&amp;dib_tag=se&amp;keywords=our+neurodivergent+journey&amp;qid=1764271164&amp;s=books&amp;sprefix=our+neurodivergent+journey%2Cstripbooks-intl-ship%2C123&amp;sr=1-1" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> here</a></p><p>To purchase :"The Neurodivergent Home", click <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Neurodivergent-Home-beautifully-designed-interior/dp/B0DCBJFM9Q" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">here</a></p><br><p><br></p><h2>Wanting more from<a href="https://instituteofchildpsychology.com/about-membership-main/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> ICP</a>?
