Not Naughty, Just Overwhelmed
A Parent’s Story of Understanding a Child Who Feels the World Too Much
Parenting is not supposed to feel this hard.
And yet, for many parents, it does.
Your child cries more than others.
They struggle in public places.
School sends complaints about sitting, listening, or behavior.
At home, meltdowns happen daily.
Everyone tells you, “It’s just a phase.”
But deep inside, you feel something else is going on.
Not Naughty, Just Overwhelmed is a gentle, story-based book written for parents of children aged 3 to 12 years who feel confused, tired, and unsure about their child’s behavior.
This book follows the journey of one parent and one child. It is a fictional story, but the experiences are real. The struggles, the doubts, the guilt, and the slow moments of understanding reflect what many families live through every day.
You will not find medical terms, diagnoses, or complicated explanations in this book. Instead, you will find situations that feel familiar. Morning battles. School complaints. After-school meltdowns. Food refusal. Clothing struggles. Emotional exhaustion.
Through the story, you will begin to understand why some children react so strongly to noise, touch, movement, and change. You will see how behaviour is often a sign of overload, not disobedience.
This book helps parents understand:
Why some children “hold it together” at school and fall apart at home
How sensory overload can look like stubbornness or bad behavior
Why reward charts and punishments often don’t work
How small changes in routine and environment can bring calm
What supportive therapy really looks like
How understanding builds confidence in children and parents
Most importantly, this book reminds you that your child is not the problem.
When parents stop trying to control behaviour and start understanding what the child’s body and emotions are communicating, everything begins to change. Not overnight. Not perfectly. But gently and steadily.
This is not a how-to guide.
It is not a therapy manual.
It is a story meant to reassure you that you are not alone, that your struggles are valid, and that your child’s challenges do not define their future.
If you have ever felt judged, exhausted, or unsure while parenting your child, this book is for you.
Your child is not broken.
They are overwhelmed.
And with understanding, things can get better.
