I get to practice repair A LOT. Repair quickly, repair often, and repair with self-compassion. #untigering... HT Seed & Sew

"Welcome to Holland" is a wonderful poem that provides a great explanation of how parents of children with disabilities feel. When expecting a child, all parents are hoping for a healthy baby - that is all they want. Losing that dream of having a healthy baby is something that parents grieve. The child that they get is not something that they expected - its not a good or a bad thing - its just different. They love this child and accept them for who they are and still grieve o...ver their lost dream of a healthy baby. When we think of a disability, we often think of something we can see - a physical disability, Down's Syndrome, a non-verbal child. However, a disability can also be invisible - such as ADHD or High Functioning Autism. I have a strong passion for helping and working with parents and children with ADHD. Understanding the disorder and providing the appropriate treatment makes a world of difference in the lives of the families that I work with. Be compassionate to everyone you meet as you don't what battles they are fighting. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KvCJZw8Ymxk

We live in a result oriented world where we want to see fast results. With therapy, change happens over time and you may not notice a huge transformation happening right away. It’s like a seed that you plant- little by little you grow and change and one day you look back at yourself and see just how much you have grown and changed. #mentalhealth #therapyworks

Resilience is one of my favourite topics. What do you do to build your child’s resiliency? #resiliene #childrensmentalhealth
