Thanks Maggie for all of your work! As an OT of 19 years I am constantly seeing the damaging effects of the education systems expectations and demands on childrens mental health and emotional well-being, particularly neurodivergent. My 11 year old son with ADHD is currently really struggling. He has minimal concerning behaviours at school apart from the few reminders to stop talking BUT he brings home an awful amount of baggage! Behaviour, meltdowns, defiance, school refusal, and his self esteem has taken a huge hit with him telling me he is dumb. He is a c average student who gets in the higher tear and above the national andschool averages in all areas. He is brilliant in so many creative ways BUT the system and behaviourist approaches make him feel like a constant failure and incompetent.
As an OT I have the skills and knowledge to help him, but even i am struggling some days to cope with the demands of co-regulation, damage control and skill building.
I know many teachers and principals that are all doing their best with the resources they have BUT the whole system is outdated and needs an over-haul!
It is very concerning!

In the conversations I've been having with teachers, I can now understand why so many teachers are leaving the profession due to burnout and for the sake of their own mental wellbeing. Our schooling system sucks and here's where I think it needs to change.

Get the tissues out! 🤧 After a tricky 48 hours with my ADHD kiddos... I'm feeling the feels! Neurodivergence can be tough and exhausting for both parents and children! I'm not trying to say I know what it's like to be a parent of kiddos with ASD but I see it everyday through work and deal with ADHD before school anxiety and after school meltdowns!
