Meltdowns, worries, school struggles?

Calm, practical help for the whole SEN child.

Hi, I’m Collette, a SEN mum and a teacher, and I’ve been where you are.

I created Mooki Wellbeing for parents, carers and teachers who want to help a SEN child aged 5 to 12 with:

  • ADHD
  • Autism
  • Anxiety
  • Dyslexia
  • Dyscalculia
  • Speech and language needs

What I do

I give you ideas to help the whole child, 10 minutes at a time

  • 💛Feelings: meltdowns, worries and big emotions
  • ⭐Confidence: friendships and feeling different
  • 📚Learning: reading, spelling, maths and focus
  • 🏡Everyday life: school mornings, routines and sleep

I’ve turned these ideas into easy-to-use card decks, journals and calming activities.

No jargon, no training, and no diagnosis needed to start.

Why I made Mooki Wellbeing

They called me thick, stupid and lazy.

That’s what I heard at school in the 1980s. Nobody knew then what I know now: I’m dyslexic and I have ADHD.

When I became a teacher, I saw children struggling just like I did. Then my own children started coming home frustrated, and I found out how lonely and confusing it can feel as a parent, too.

Mooki Wellbeing is the help I wish I’d had: calm, simple and kind, for your child and for you.

It made her less anxious, visually seeing how much (little) she had to do. Great tip, will definitely be keeping it up.

Really useful. You can read through yourself and use some together. I’m finding them really useful, as is my son.

I am also dyslexic and I found it hard to find stuff that I can understand myself to help them.
