Parent Voices - Luke Squires
Lucy Kennerley • June 8, 2026
We're thrilled to share two new pieces from Luke Squires, a dad to three neurodiverse children, living with ADHD himself....
In 'Why I Don't "Push Through" Anymore', Luke writes about behaviour, stress, and the shift in thinking that changed his family. In 'Understanding Changes Everything', he speaks directly to professionals, parents, and carers about what genuine support looks like and why curiosity matters more than compliance. Thank you so much Luke for sharing!
Both are worth reading slowly...
