Our why
Every child deserves to be seen.
Our mission
To create stories and experiences that help neurodivergent children feel understood, capable, and proud of the way their minds work.
Our vision
A world where difference is met with curiosity instead of judgment — and every child has space to imagine, belong, and shine.
“Some differences announce themselves. Others are carried quietly. Every child deserves to be seen without being asked to become someone else.”
The framework
It's okay to be an apple.
It's okay to be an apple.
But a dragon fruit? Wow.
A dragon fruit is loud on the outside. Spikes, magenta, impossible to ignore. Open it and it's hundreds of tiny seeds — all of them there at once, all of them doing something.
That's the mind I live with. Not empty. Full.
And look closely at the mark. Inside the flame there's a u and an i. You and I. That's the whole promise — both of us belong here, and neither has to become the other.
That idea has a name. Dynamic Attention Intelligence asks a second question alongside the usual one: not only where does this brain fall short, but where does it rise — and under what conditions?

The person behind it
Hi, I'm Jennifer.
I'm a Brazilian-American mother of two, and I'm not a psychiatrist or a researcher. I'm a parent with ADHD raising kids with ADHD, and I've spent years reading, listening, and paying attention.
Both of my daughters were held back a year before anyone worked out what was going on. They noticed. Kids always notice — long before an adult hands them a word for it, they've already decided it's their fault. That year is why Julliving exists.

Good questions
Before you ask.
Are the activities really free?
Yes. The three on this page download straight away, no email needed. The larger bundles are in the Etsy shop.
Is DAI a diagnosis or a test?
No. Dynamic Attention Intelligence is a working educational framework — a way of asking better questions about a child's conditions and strengths. It is not a validated assessment and it doesn't replace diagnosis, treatment, or accommodations.
Can schools and therapists use these?
Please do. Print them, copy them for your classroom or practice, share them with families.
What ages are the books for?
The picture books suit roughly ages 4–8, and the coloring book works a little older.
Will there be more books?
Yes — more titles are on the way, and the list hears first.
