Janeth's Dayhome

I won't close my page, but I've been receiving many inquiries so I am making it FB official.😇 If you need childcare services, please contact one of the agencies in the city; New Dimensions has excellent options and will be happy to assist you!🥰

...and I had to be grateful 🤷🏾‍♀️😅

When you have a neurotypical child, you feel reasonably assured that class participation and decent study habits will result in good grades. These kids have close friends. They get invited to participate in social things like dances and weekend gatherings. They make the teams, auditions, organizations and clubs.

But when you have a child with certain differences, this is often not the case. Learning may take longer, both academically and socially. Despite their tremendous efforts, results are often a fraction of their peers and social acceptance is fleeting, setting them up for painful comparisons and bitter frustration. Instead of a fun and fulfilling experience, school can become a breeding ground for depression and anxiety, and assignments a battle ground at home. It is exhausting for parent and child alike.

This is the week of SPED (Special Education), Autism, Dyslexia, and ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) awareness.

For all the children who struggle every day to succeed in a world that does not recognize their gifts and talents, and for those who are walking beside them, please let this be a gentle reminder to be kind and accepting of ALL people.

Recognize that the "playing field" is not always a level surface.

Children who learn differently are not weird. They are merely gifted in ways that our society does not value enough. Yet they deserve what everyone else wants: To be accepted!! Kindness goes a long way. ALWAYS be kind!

Copied from "Our world would be far less beautiful without them" In honor of all children who are deemed to be different. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🖤

I always try to not make it a big deal but it's been two days and I can't ignore it anymore!🤦🏽‍♀️🤪
Time change is stupid, makes no sense, serves no purpose, kids are tired, parents are trying to keep up and we are all exhausted trying to catch up! 😴😌😆

"Our image of the child affects everything we do with children. When Educators choose an image of the child as strong, resourceful, and capable mighty learner and citizen, they enter into relationships with children. This image affirms each child's right to be listened to, treated with respect and participate in daily decisions that affect him or her" - FF
