Overview

  • In an Instagram video filmed around 11:30 p.m., Flanagan calmly invites her four-year-old son Charlie for a cuddle as he runs around, with him repeating, “I am calm, I love my mummy.”
  • She wrote that she is neurodivergent, describing sensitivity to multiple sounds at once and difficulty staying calm when overstimulated.
  • Flanagan explained that the family currently sleeps in the same room, with Matilda next to Charlie and Delilah next to her, saying the setup is what works for them.
  • She recounted ongoing challenges with Charlie, including pulling down curtains, smashing a window with a football, and unbuckling his car seat, adding that she often drives when he is asleep and hopes starting school will help.
  • Comments from fans and celebrity peers, including Tanya Bardsley and Charlotte Dawson, praised her steady co-regulation approach and called the clip a real snapshot of parenting.
