Happy Child Agency

Defeating negative thoughts today with positivity and growing optimism for children 🌞💜

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 want what everyone else wants: To be accepted!!

If you choose, please "copy and paste" (by touching and holding the text) onto your profile in honor of all children who are deemed "different".
Our world would be far less beautiful without them.
❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🖤

Remember kindness goes a long way so ALWAYS be kind!

It's ok to not be happy too, but as it's happiness day let's remind ourselves what we are grateful for and do more of what makes us happy 💜

This week's Star Students go to a brother and sister inspiring their whole school to run 2 miles a day in Feb and raise money for a charity, close to their heart. Bereavement support has really helped them through their painful journey of losing a parent. I'm so proud of their passion and resilience. 💜

I'm super proud of my reception aged students. Helping them to understand being ready, respectful and safe. Changing behaviours recognised by the school with a special certificate, positive phone call to mum and even a well done visit 👏👍
