The final Little Hug prototype arrived, so we put it to work. On at home, at the kitchen table, tools clipped in and out. Every detail checked.

Then we said yes. Our first 2,000 Little Hugs are now being made, and they're due to land in Australia in December.

What looks like "naughty" is often a child doing their best with a brain that works a little differently.

This ADHD Awareness Month, we're sharing the things parents (and grandparents, teachers and coaches) often misread, and what might really be going on.

Which one surprised you? 👇

Save it for later, or send it to someone in your child's corner.

A meltdown isn't your child being naughty, and it isn't you parenting wrong. It's a nervous system that's had too much.

Here's what's really going on in those moments, and a few gentle things that can help. Save this for the next hard moment, or send it to a parent who needs to hear it 💛

Every family has their own version of calm. A weighted blanket. A dim room. A favourite fidget. Five minutes of quiet before the next transition.

We'd love to know what works in your house right now, big or small. Tell us in the comments, it might just shape what we build next.

Big Hug started with one mum and her son, and a simple question: 𝓌𝒽𝒶𝓉 𝒽𝑒𝓁𝓅𝓈 𝒽𝒾𝓂 𝒻𝑒𝑒𝓁 𝒸𝒶𝓁𝓂 𝒾𝓃 𝓉𝒽𝑒 𝓂𝑜𝓂𝑒𝓃𝓉𝓈 𝓉𝒽𝒶𝓉 𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓇𝓌𝒽𝑒𝓁𝓂 𝒽𝒾𝓂. 🤍

Lucy is a speech pathologist. She's spent years watching deep pressure calm the kids and adults she works with, and she wanted to bring that comfort into everyday life, not just a therapy room.

Over the next few months we'll be sharing the journey to launch: the samples, the people behind it, and the little moments Big Hug is designed for.

Follow along. https://bighug.au/

Every parent knows this feeling.

You want your child to step into the world knowing they are loved.
Cared for.
Safe.

Lucy shared this in her ABC interview when speaking about haircuts - but it’s bigger than that.
It’s about dignity.
It’s about inclusion.
It’s about helping children show up as themselves 💚

If this resonates, take a few minutes to hear Lucy tell the full story in her own words.
