From My Story to Yours

After 15 years of teaching children with dyslexia, I realised the missing link to their success wasn’t just academic - it was confidence, self-esteem, and mindset.


As a late-diagnosed dyslexic and a parent of neurodiverse children, I know the journey. That’s why I created the Rise & Shine Technique - to give parents the tools to raise confident, resilient children.

Imagine This ...

  • Mornings feel calm again — no more tears or tummy aches; your child walks into school confident and ready to learn.
     
  • Homework no longer ends in battles — routines flow smoothly, emotions settle, and progress feels natural.
     
  • You finally feel confident — no more guessing, Googling, or second-guessing yourself about how to help.
     
  • Your child believes in themselves again — they say, “I can do this,” and mean it, even when things feel hard.
     
  • Your bond deepens — built on trust, teamwork, and understanding rather than daily power struggles.
     
  • Progress shows up everywhere — in resilience, motivation, and that steady “can-do” attitude that lasts.
     
  • Your home feels peaceful and connected — fewer arguments, more laughter, and a sense that things are finally working.
     

Rise & Shine!

What is Rise & Shine?

Rise & Shine is a six-month mentoring experience that transforms how families understand and support neurodiverse children. It gives parents the clarity, tools, and confidence to advocate at school and nurture lasting self-belief and emotional balance at home.


Who's it for?

Rise & Shine is for parents who want to take a deeper, more holistic approach to supporting their neurodiverse child.
It’s for families who value emotional wellbeing as much as academic progress and are ready to invest in lasting transformation — not just short-term fixes.
If you’re ready to replace confusion with clarity, chaos with calm, and frustration with confidence, Rise & Shine will show you how.

Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at melanie@ddfocus.co.uk if you cannot find an answer to your question.

“Is this programme only for children with a diagnosis like dyslexia or ADHD?”

Not at all! Whether your child has a diagnosis, is waiting for one, or simply learns differently, Rise & Shine is designed to meet them exactly where they are - no labels required.

“My child’s confidence is really low. Will this actually help?”

Absolutely. In fact, rebuilding confidence is at the heart of everything we do. We focus on small, achievable wins that create real momentum - the kind your child feels every day.

“What if my child refuses to participate?”

You're not alone - and it's okay! This programme is designed with gentle strategies to meet resistance with compassion. You'll learn ways to invite participation without pressure or overwhelm.

“We’re already so busy. Will we actually have time for this?”

I hear you - that's exactly why Rise & Shine is built for real family life. The strategies are simple, flexible, and designed to slip into your daily rhythms, not add more to your plate.

“Do I need special skills to support my child through this?”

Nope! You already have what it takes - you just need the right tools and a little guidance. I’ll show you exactly how to support your child in ways that feel natural and doable.

“How do I know if this is really the right fit for us?”

If you’re looking for a nurturing, strengths-based approach that honours your child’s unique way of learning - and you’re ready to walk alongside them with new tools and confidence - Rise & Shine was made for you.
