WELCOME TO THE FARMING MOTHER

A Place for Mothers of SEND Children to Find Hope, Connection, and Practical Support

If you’re here, you’re probably a mother who loves her child fiercely, and who knows the weight of balancing everything – the demands of School meetings, Home schooling, endless waiting lists, daily routines, and the little moments where burnout and guilt sneak in. You want the best for your child, but it can be exhausting when every day seems like an uphill climb.

I understand because I created The Farming Mother to be exactly the support I wished I’d had. Whether you’re wrestling with the frustrations of finding a school that truly understands your child, managing their mental health needs, or simply getting through the day without feeling like you’re falling short – this space is for you. We’re here to help you navigate those challenges and remind you that you’re not alone.

Here to Lighten Your Load, One Step at a Time

It’s no secret that mothers like us face unique struggles. You might recognize some of these all-too-familiar challenges:

• Burnout from Constant Advocacy: We know it’s tough to keep pushing for the right support, especially when resources are stretched thin and services feel miles out of reach.

• The Guilt of Wanting More Time, Support, and Understanding: It’s natural to want the best for your child and still wish for a little extra help – and that’s okay.

• The Worry Over Mental Health: With so many unmet needs and delays, you’re not alone if you worry about how the system affects your child’s well-being.

Each challenge can feel like it’s weighing on your shoulders, and that’s exactly why I built this community. To help you manage these challenges with practical tools, relatable insights, and a supportive community.
