I’m Sophie, founder of Square Peg Parenting.

I’m here to share practical and easy to follow solutions to help you help your child feel their best.

I founded Square Peg after working for over 20 years with children struggling in the classroom, and parents struggling at home. I found that parents of neurodivergent kids often feel unsupported and alone. They feel that all the weight to help their child is on their shoulders to fit their square peg kid into round holes.

I want to help you feel empowered and supported to raise your neurodivergent child to feel their best, and feel confident in who they are.

WHY I FOUNDED SQUARE PEG PARENTING

I have a Master’s degree in education and child development, am a certified Positive Discipline educator, a BANT registered child nutritionist, and a trained picky eating expert. I’ve worked with hundreds of families to help their children to feel their best.

Then I had my own son. My fantastically neurodivergent boy.

And even with my degrees, with all of my experience and knowing the challenges that parents face, I struggled. I felt isolated and heartbroken. I felt like I had to fight every step of the way. I just wished someone would take some of the burden from my shoulders and let me breathe. I spent years searching for the right support for my son. And each time I was finally confident we had the best support in place, he would change or his school would ask more from him. I would be back to google, asking other parents or searching social media for answers.

It’s too much for one family. I wanted to create a community for parents to receive the support they need every step of the way. All in one place. I also wanted to celebrate our kids, to talk about the wonderful moments alongside the challenges. I wanted to look beyond the struggles, and see our kids for their fantastically neurodiverse selves.
