The world was never meant to be shaped by one kind of child.

And yet, so many children grow up believing they have to quiet down, shrink themselves, or behave a certain way to be seen as “good.”

But the truth is:
We need the gentle observers who notice what others miss.
The fiery leaders who speak up and shake things loose.
The dreamers, the question-askers, the boundary-pushers, the deep feelers.

Every single one brings something this world desperately needs.

So let’s stop measuring goodness by how easy a child is to manage — and start honouring who they truly are.

Because a child’s worth should never be defined by how neatly they fit into a box. ❤️

When we talk about arousal, we mean how alert we are. What is it that we need in order to sustain our attention and perform at out best. We are all different in what it takes to keep our arousal at the best level. Some people can’t cope with any noise while they are trying to think, while others need to have music on constantly. Meeting our arousal needs depend on how we process our sensory information. The important thing to remember is that some people will need more of these sensory inputs to be at the optimum state of arousal and some will need less. We are then able to to “self-regulate” by getting our arousal levels right even when our environment changes. Self-regulating all of the sensory information can be very difficult for a child. When we work out what their sensory needs are we can help support them to meet their best arousal.

On April 15, 1817, the first lasting school for the deaf United States opened its doors. We commemorate this by celebrating National American Sign Language (ASL) Day. Throughout the world, many are not born with the gift of verbal speech and have to find another way to communicate. ASL gives those individuals the opportunity to express meaning and share ideas. Celebrate ASL Day by taking some time today to learn this second language you may never have considered.
