"Confidence and self worth will come from the promises you keep to yourself"

Take a moment and reflect on my post.

"The magic we are all seeking in our lives is found in the work we are avoiding"

Quite a poignant post. Happy Thursday all.

When you have a neurotypical child, you feel reasonably assured that class participation and decent study habits will result in good grades. These kids have close friends. They get invited to participate in social things like dances and weekend gatherings. They make the teams, auditions, organizations and clubs.

But when you have a child with certain differences, this is often not the case. Learning may take longer, both academically and socially. Despite their tremendous efforts, results are often a fraction of their peers and social acceptance is fleeting, setting them up for painful comparisons and bitter frustration. Instead of a fun and fulfilling experience, school can become a breeding ground for depression and anxiety, and assignments a battle ground at home. It is exhausting for parent and child alike.

This is the week of SPED (Special Education), Autism, Dyslexia, and ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) awareness.

For all the children who struggle every day to succeed in a world that does not recognize their gifts and talents, and for those who are walking beside them, please let this be a gentle reminder to be kind and accepting of ALL people. Recognize that the "playing field" is not always a level surface.

Children who learn differently are not weird. They are merely gifted in ways that our society does not value enough. Yet they want what everyone else wants: To be accepted!!

If you choose, please "copy and paste" (by touching and holding the text) onto your profile in honor of all children who are deemed "different". Our world would be far less beautiful without them.
❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🖤

Remember kindness goes a long way!!! In a world where you can be anything…be kind. ♥️

At Life Counselling , I understand that the decision to seek treatment, either for you or a loved one, is not a decision made lightly. Many of us have a tendency to try to ignore emotional and psychological challenges in the hopes they will improve on their own. Unfortunately, in many cases, time alone is not enough. For those suffering from some form of emotional or psychological distress, their condition may become more pronounced and lead to other difficulties. If this scenario sounds familiar, it may be time to consider the services of Life Counselling and Psychological Services. For the majority of people, effective counselling will lead to improved behaviour, attitudes and overall quality of life. My counselling will identify the root causes of your struggles and equip you with effective coping skills to attain the best quality of life possible. Most people will experience troubling feelings from time to time. In some cases, the feelings are an inward manifestation of an outward event, such as the loss of a loved one, a divorce, or a change in career or environment brought on by a move or transfer. For most, these feelings will dissipate relatively quickly. For others, the feelings can be persistent and, if left unattended, can cause severe consequences, including prolonged depression, addictive behaviours, and complications in school, the workplace, or the home.
