This Tag Changed the Way I Communicate With My Son

There’s a moment I’ll never forget - my son, silently handing me an “Overwhelmed” tag. No meltdown. No panic. Just a quiet, powerful way of saying “I need help.”

That moment changed everything.

I didn’t start SEN Talk Tags with the idea of running a business. I started because I needed a way to help my son communicate when words weren’t enough. Visual communication gave us a bridge - something that helped me see into his world and helped him feel seen in mine.

That little “Overwhelmed” tag has stopped so many spirals before they’ve started. It gives him a way to say what he’s feeling without needing to explain. It gives me a chance to meet him with understanding instead of confusion.

And now, I’m watching these same little moments happen in other families’ lives - parents, carers, teachers, all using these tags to build calmer, more connected days.

If you're navigating big feelings and don’t always have the words, these tags can be a quiet kind of magic. I hope they help your child feel just as safe and understood as mine does.
