Counseling Intervention for Young Individuals Birds fly, fish swim and children play. Stapoo aims at making young individual emotionally healthy.

This famous quote by Dr. Gary Landreth, inspired me to create ‘STAPOO’, a place where children, adolescents, parents & teachers get an opportunity to connect with their inner child. ‘Play’, the natural medium of communication, which encourages a reciprocal conversation, is the philosophy of this organization. We act as a connecting link between Parents, Educators and Young individuals. All interventions and therapies are play based. We provide a mental floss and help young individuals have a strong resilient belief system for life.

Children heal in safety, not speed.
Healing isn’t rushed. It unfolds when a child feels safe enough to be themselves.

When adults expect teachers, tutors, coaches, or therapists to “fix” a child into an ideal version, valuable time is lost that could be spent nurturing the growth and well-being of the child. The real work lies in supporting the child they already have.

Going to school is no longer just a duty or a Must-do task for children. Children, today feel respected and understood by their teachers and teachers too receive love & respect, not out of fear but because of the bond between them. I know this may not be true for all schools and all children. But, it can become a reality for all educators and learners.

I recently attended a talk on how we need to develop a mindset for inclusion. It is not just confined to physical infrastructure but a mindset that needs to be cultivated. I have a story to share with all of you where inclusion is not only the need for people with disabilities or neurodiverse needs but it is for everyone. As we embrace inclusion, we embrace a life of ease and grace. Try it!

I was in a parent counseling session with the parents of a 15-year-old boy. The parents were irritated and extremely worried about their boy’s careless and impulsive attitude towards life. We were in the middle of our discussion when my next person, Shayan, came in 20 minutes early than his usual appointment time. I took him in and he entered the house and he noticed 2 strange adults sitting in my house. He looked at them and paused and he went to the father of that teenager to give him a hi five. The tension on the father’s face released. He smiled and said “How are you, young man?” Shayan didn’t reply but he just smiled and said “washroom”. I said “Yes washroom, go to the washroom”. I usually reframe Shayan’s single word communication into a complete sentence. He then went straight to the washroom. Shayan is well versed with my house and he can independently choose to go around as per his need. I continued with my discussion with the parents and they started off telling me about how it is becoming difficult to explain to their teenager about the importance of class 10th boards. We all became serious again and Shayan just decided to come and sit in between the parents with his legs crossed on the sofa. He continued to look at the parents and smiled. While we still spoke about their worries, we all had a funny smile on our faces. Shayan held the parents’ hands and sat there and the energy of the entire room changed. When the clock ticked 12pm, Shayan looked at the clock and I told the parents that it is his time now and we all laughed and the parents left the room with some hope and patience and most importantly the feeling of love in themselves.

Shayan is a child with autism and I have known him since 2015. Shayan is a boy with few words and each word carries a meaning. He can say the entire sentence in one word and he can shift the mood with a smile or some funny thought or cute transactions of toys which he does with me.

Don't waste your time analyzing if it was a fake su***de threat or they mean it!

Keep listening to your teenagers until the ideation of su***de is no longer an option in their mind!

Every life matters!

Sometimes, we struggle ...struggle too much to get the simplest of our needs met, and we start to think that others dont care for us.

If we look carefully, then we realize that the "belief" of deserving the good in life based on our struggle is the source of creating the hardship in feeling not cared by others.

When you reframe the belief to, I can have my needs met without having to struggle, then you would notice that a lot of things come easily to you like -
- Saying No when you want to say no
- Eating an ice cream when you want to eat
- Spending your money the way you want to
- Sleeping on time as per your schedule
- Putting your phone on silent because you are watching a movie

Pursue a path that aligns with your authentic self!
The process of civilization makes us feel 'Not okay' about ourselves. The journey of growing up can be difficult when we are compared, corrected, and criticized. In all of this, the authentic self hides behind masks to please the society.

We all are aware of that sinking feeling when we ruminate about only one thing in a loop. Therapy helps us pause, zoom out, and have an aerial view of our lives. We then adjust the view to look at the brighter side, which the other pieces of life are offering to us.

The child is not living in isolation!
Parents need to be a part of this journey!
Working as a team becomes very important in child/adolescent healing.

There is a difference between disciplining children & teaching them to tolerate humiliation, disrespect & abusive culture!

It is not about the number of hours you spend with your children. It is all about what all you feed in the mental framework of your children that matters!

Children always keep it simple!

The academic accommodations, reducing the sensory overload, providing reading assistance, giving a disability friendly infrastructure..... All of this is secondary. The primary need of any child in a classroom is to be treated with the same respect & love, the way other children in the class are treated. Because, when the child steps out of the school at 18, he knows he was loved. Most of us struggle to receive this love and acceptance in schools and at homes and then spend the rest of our lives, improving ourselves, proving our worth and in search for this acceptance and so many of us end up isolating ourselves.
