Meet Megan!

Hi, I'm Megan, the founder of Busy Brains.

I created Busy Brains because I could see how many children were being misunderstood, and how many parents were being left to figure things out on their own.

Too often, a child is labelled as bold, difficult, defiant, lazy, or badly behaved, when in reality there is much more going on underneath. Sometimes it is anxiety. Sometimes it is overwhelm. Sometimes it is sensory needs, frustration, emotional dysregulation, developmental differences, or simply a child who does not yet have the tools to cope with what is being asked of them.

I have always been drawn to the children who are struggling the most, the ones who are often judged quickly but understood the least. That is what led me to create Busy Brains.

I wanted to build something that could offer real support, not just for the child, but for the adults around them too. Because when a child is struggling, parents are often exhausted, worried, and trying everything they can think of. They do not need more judgement. They need clarity, support, and strategies that actually make sense in real life.

That is why I do this work.

Busy Brains was created to help make sense of behaviour, support emotional regulation and development, and give families practical help that feels realistic and compassionate. My approach is child-centred, down to earth, and focused on understanding what is really going on, rather than just reacting to what is happening on the surface.

I care deeply about helping children feel more understood, more supported, and more capable. I also care about helping parents feel less alone in it.

For me, this work is not about quick fixes or blaming children for struggling. It is about understanding them properly, meeting them where they are, and helping them build the skills they need to cope, grow, and thrive.

And if you ever come to visit Busy Brains, don't be surprised if the puppy tries to act like he runs the place.
