Nurturing Mind, Brightening Future
A story book for neurodivergent kids embrace their identity — through story
It's not just about dyspraxia; it's about building confidence and understanding their unique strengths!
“I understand that many children feel frustrated when they are labeled without a clear understanding of what that means. This deeply inspired me to create this book. I believe that parents have the unique opportunity to be the first storytellers in their child's journey. As professionals, we often see the disconnect between diagnosis and true understanding. It's heartbreaking that many children do not receive an accessible and empowering explanation of their condition, as this can profoundly affect how they view themselves.”
Superpower Moves: Understanding Dyspraxia
A diagnosis such as dyspraxia can significantly affect a child’s self-esteem. Children may start to perceive themselves as inferior, attributing challenges in academic performance, social relationships, or behavioral issues to their condition. This storybook aims to shift that perception. Through the concept of "Superpower Moves," children will relate to a character who learns that their unique traits are, in fact, superpowers.
Why Should Your Child Have This Storybook?
Encourages self-awareness and acceptance
A diagnosis like dyspraxia can profoundly affect a child’s self-esteem. It's common for them to feel as though they are somehow less than others, attributing their challenges—whether in school, friendships, or behavior—to their condition. This storybook aims to reshape that narrative. Through the journey of Superpower Moves, your child will encounter a relatable character who learns to celebrate their unique qualities, discovering that their differences can be seen as superpowers.
Child-friendly language and metaphors / Coloured layout
We can powerfully transform complex ideas into engaging concepts for young minds. By using simple language and vivid examples, we make challenging subjects accessible and enjoyable. For instance, instead of saying, "You are being clumsy," we might say, "The objects are playing tug of war with you." This engaging approach sparks curiosity and imagination, inviting children into a world of exploration and fostering a deeper love for learning.
Fosters an inclusive environment
Promotes an inclusive environment that embraces neurodiversity by encouraging understanding, acceptance, and respect for diverse neurological conditions. It celebrates unique ways of thinking and learning, fostering a culture of empathy and empowerment. By highlighting individual strengths, it supports a community where all children feel seen, valued, and confident in their differences — helping neurodivergent minds thrive both socially and emotionally.
Encourages parent-child connection
As a parent or educator, you understand the importance of making children feel seen and celebrated, especially when their brains or bodies function differently.
“As a therapist with over 30 years of experience, I have worked with many children who were never clearly informed about what dyspraxia means, using language they can understand. Often, these children internalized their struggles, misunderstood their labels, and felt defeated.
Superpower Moves is my way of returning the narrative to your child and empowering you, as the parent, to be the first to gently initiate that conversation.”
What's Inside?
The concept received enthusiastic approval from my colleagues. When it was presented to parents, the feedback was exceptionally positive, highlighting the book's ability to empower rather than overwhelm its readers.

FAQ's
1. Is my child’s clumsiness dyspraxia?
Not all clumsiness means dyspraxia. However, if your child struggles with coordination, balance, or tasks like tying shoes, using cutlery, or writing, it may be worth exploring. Dyspraxia (also known as Developmental Coordination Disorder) affects fine and gross motor skills and sometimes emotional regulation. A professional assessment by an occupational therapist or pediatrician is the best next step.
2. Is giving my child a diagnosis like dyspraxia going to label them for life?
Not if we change what the label means.
For many children, a diagnosis is not a limitation — it’s a relief.
It explains why some things feel harder, and it opens the door to support, understanding, and confidence.
When explained the right way — through stories, love, and language they understand — a diagnosis like dyspraxia becomes a superpower badge, not a burden.
It helps your child say:
“I’m not wrong — I’m wired differently. And that’s okay.”
That’s exactly what Superpower Moves does — it gives children the words and pride to see their strengths in a whole new light.
3. Will this book help to explain dyspraxia to a child?
Yes.
Superpower Moves was created specifically to explain dyspraxia in a child-friendly, non-clinical way. Through story and relatable characters, it helps children understand their experiences and challenges — without using overwhelming terms or medical jargon.
4. How to help children with coordination issues
Use step-by-step visual guides (like in this book)
Break down tasks into smaller, repeatable actions
Offer plenty of encouragement — progress over perfection
Practice motor activities playfully: games, dance, obstacle courses
Use tools like adaptive cutlery, Velcro shoes, or pencil grips

5. How does this book help boost self-esteem?
It helps children:

Discover that their differences can be strengths
Learn that they're not alone — many kids feel this way

Reframe their thinking: “I’m not broken — I’m unique.”
6. What age group is this suitable for?
Superpower Moves is ideal for:
Ages 5 to 9 (early primary/elementary school)
Younger children with parental guidance
Older children who need a confidence refresher or a relatable resource
7. Is this book for professionals to advise children with dyspraxia?
Absolutely.
This book is a powerful tool for occupational therapists, special educators, counsellors, and SENCOS to:
Introduce the concept of dyspraxia gently
Spark self-awareness and conversation
Recommend as a home or classroom reading aid
Support emotional literacy in neurodivergent children
8. How can I respond to the questions my child has after reading this book?
Keep answers simple and reassuring: “Yes, some kids move or think a bit differently — and that’s okay.”
Emphasize strengths: “Just like in the story, your brain has its own way of doing things. That’s your superpower.”
Use their language: Reflect their words back — if they say “hard,” say “yes, sometimes it’s hard — and that’s why practice helps.”
Let them lead: Allow space for silence or more questions. It's okay not to have all the answers — just your presence and understanding is powerful.
