✨ A gentle reminder ✨

Dysregulation is not defiance.

It is a nervous system in overload. 🧠💛

When a student is struggling, punishment does not teach regulation. Support does. Skills do. Connection does.

At IDEA Advocacy, we focus on understanding the why behind behavior and responding with tools, accommodations, and strategies that help students feel safe and supported. Regulation is learned through co-regulation, patience, and consistent skill-building, not consequences alone. 🌱

Let’s keep choosing compassion over compliance, curiosity over assumptions, and support over punishment. That is how real progress happens. 🌟

💙✨

What a great reminder this week!

🎄✨ Holiday Reminder for All the Moms Out There ✨🎄

The pressure to make everything picture-perfect can be overwhelming. But here’s the truth: the most meaningful moments are rarely perfect.

So if the cookies burn, the pajamas don’t match, or the wrapping stays half-done – that’s okay. You’re still enough. 💛

This season, let’s set down the weight of expectations and make space for what truly brings us joy.

And remember: you don’t have to do this alone. 💪

😭😭😭

Before the gas chambers had names, there was a program meant to erase lives quietly.

It was called T4.

A bureaucratic code name.
Clean. Clinical. Deceptively ordinary.

Behind it was one of the darkest crimes of the N**i regime.

Beginning in 1939, N**i doctors—men sworn to heal—were ordered to decide who was “worthy of life.” Their targets were not soldiers on a battlefield, but the most defenseless people in society:

• Children with disabilities
• Adults with mental illness
• People with physical impairments
• Disabled war veterans
• The chronically ill
• Children from so-called “mixed marriages”
• Anyone labeled a burden

They called it “euthanasia.”
In reality, it was murder.

At first, the killings were slow and quiet.
Patients were starved.
Given lethal injections.
Left to die in hospital wards while families were told comforting lies.

But the process wasn’t “efficient” enough.

So the doctors refined it.

They introduced poison gas.

Men, women, and children were taken to former hospitals and care homes—places they trusted. They were told they were going for treatment. Instead, they were sealed into rooms and suffocated.

Their deaths were recorded as pneumonia.
Heart failure.
Natural causes.

Between 1939 and 1945, an estimated 200,000 people were killed under the T4 program.

This was not a side crime.
It was a blueprint.

The gas chambers used in T4 became the model for later extermination camps. The doctors, administrators, and techniques were transferred east. What began with the disabled paved the way for genocide.

T4 exposed a terrifying truth:

When a state decides some lives are worth less than others,
there is no bottom.

The victims of T4 had no armies.
No resistance movements.
No way to flee.

Their crime was existing in bodies the regime deemed imperfect.

Today, memorials stand where hospitals once hid death behind paperwork. Names are still being recovered. Families still uncover truths that were buried under forged certificates and silence.

Remembering T4 is not only about the past.

It is a warning.

Whenever society talks about burdens, purity, or lives not worth living, history is listening.

And it remembers exactly where that road leads.
