The words we choose matter.

Some signs of dyscalculia include:

Having trouble grasping the meaning of quantities or concepts like biggest vs. smallest
Find it tricky to Understand that the numeral 5 is the same as the word five, and that these both mean five items
Fimd it hard to Remember math facts in school, like times tables
Trouble counting money or making change
Struggles to Estimate time
Stuggles to Judge speed or distance
Finds it hard to Understand the logic behind math
Struggles to hold numbers in their head while solving problems

What can we do?...

When introducing a new concept, review what they have learned before teaching new skills.
Teach them to “self-talk” through solving problems
Let them write out charts or draw sketches to solve problems &let them use their fingers, its a natural brain process
Use graph paper to help line up numbers and problems, easier to keep everything in straight lines.
Give them a list of the math formulas taught in the class.
Use physical tools like coins, blocks, games puzzles and apps to teach math ideas.
Use attention-getting phrases like, “This is important to know because….”
Use concrete examples that connect math to real life.
Check in frequently to make sure the student understands the work.
-Step-by-step instructions and have them repeat them. (Have a peer support too)
Use graphic organisers (visual chart to see relationship between numbers/concepts) to organise information or help break down math problems into steps.
Try to create separate worksheets for word problems and number problems.
Highlight or circle key words and numbers on word problems.
A calculator they knows how to use
Pencils (for erasing!)
Pre-set phone reminders and alarms to help them keep track of time.
Allow extra time on tests/assignments
Use visual aids or manipulatives when solving problems.
Let them use a calculator when computation isn’t what’s being assessed
Give a rubric (set of rules) that describes the elements of an assignment.
Use an extra piece of paper to cover up most of what’s on a math sheet or test to make it easier to focus on one problem at a time.
Povide charts of math facts or multiplication tables.
Give more space to write problems and solutions.

❣Meet them where they are at and love them unconditionally ❣

The more we know the more we can help right...

I am constantly in awe of our daughter who has the most incredible resilience.

When we know what is happening for the people we spend time with, we can put in place accommodations to best support them 💗

"Dyspraxia affects:

- Your co-ordination, balance and movement
- How you learn new skills, think, and remember information at work and home
- Your daily living skills, such as dressing or preparing meals
- Your ability to write, type, draw and grasp small objects
- How you function in social situations
- How you deal with your emotions
- Time management, planning and personal organisation skills

At school age, it can present as:
- Has little understanding of concepts such as ‘in’, ‘on’, ‘in front of’ etc
- Has difficulty in walking up and down stairs
- Poor at dressing
- Slow and hesitant in most actions
- Appears not to be able to learn anything instinctively but must be taught skills
- Falls over frequently
- Poor pencil grip
- Avoiding PE and games
- Doing badly in class but significantly better on a one-to-one basis
- Reacting to all stimuli without discrimination and attention span is poor
- May have trouble with maths and writing structured stories
- Experiences great difficulty in copying from the blackboard
- writes laboriously and immaturely
- Unable to remember and/or follow instructions
- Is generally poorly organised"

Things we can do to help:
- Learn their processing speed, and adjust accordingly by pausing or slowing down
- 1 instruction at a time
- Picture prompt reminders
- awhen conversing check they are still following
- Reduce distractions & help them get back to task if distracted

Our understanding of dyspraxia is still stuck in the dark ages The lifelong neurological condition affects our co-ordination, as well as how we organise ourselves, how we structure our sentences, our time management and our speech patterns

The thing i do like about this time that we are living in, is that we are all being forced to evaluate what is truly important to us.

This does cause an internal upset through, an uncertainty of sorts.

Many are experiencing intense emotions, thoughts and feelings... that for many years have been suppressed. They seem to expel at speed and a terrifying force when least expected.

Almost like they have bubbled up and then explode with such a force its uncontrollable.

I'm finding it hard to be around others this week because everyone is feeling really intense feelings and like our middle daughter i feel you all too....

Its a time of self reflection,
of calming the mind and hearing your body, 'what am I feeling in my body right now?'

Of leaning into the story attached to that feeling and understanding that we don't need to go along with all of it... which parts of it are true and which we can finally let go of.

Hint that 'yucky' in the story is our false self needing a space to be heard and seen, hugged and let go of... there is a lot of self forgiveness needed at the moment.

Many of us are being forced to return to aspects of our 'pre-busy' life...

- Slowing down
- Committing less
- Reconnecting with nature, friends and family (even if via technology)
- Reassessing what we eat
- Deciding daily what's the best decision for my whanau to keep us sane, safe and secure 💗

And most of us are doing this with grace and paitence and understanding.

And if its hard for you to find the grace, paitence and understanding ... I feel you, I will listen and hold space and support you.

It is not an easy time, yet it is a time of huge growth and massive release for all of us.

With love and compassion, Kylie

If there is one thing I've come to realise in recent times its that I am wired for grey....

I am definitely not a black and white thinker.

I have always been able to see both sides to a story or situation and problem solve using discussion.

Its not a quick process and many get frustrated with my questioning or deep diving....

But 'Kia noho tau i te rangirua, being in the grey' has proven time and time again to help repair fractures, make informed decisions and remain in equilibrium.

Its more of a way of being than a tool so to speak... it takes work and can be scary (because its means not knowing some of the time), and that's when our sneaky ego pops up and says 'see me', 'hear me' ...

I can't be any other way now, yet I do understand and have empathy for the black and white thinkers and that's where the difference lyes...

Finding compassion and a common ground is now built into my daily life...

And if you are frustrated with the fear and stuck thinking,
are overwhelmed and over the patterning,
If you want to have more freedom of thought,

As humans we have a deep need to be heard 👂 👂 👂

To be witnessed 👁

To be validated 🤗💞

You can hear by being silent while someone shares their heart with you

You can witness by breathing into someone's pain

You can validate by letting them know they are not alone

Kia Kaha 🧡

The world is full of beautiful experiences if we choose to see them.

The hardest moments are often the ones that stretched our growth and lead to moments of beauty.

Todays reminder is to see the beauty, the growth, the moments and experiences that helped you grow.

To acknowledge the small and the big things today that are in fact beautiful.

The bee 🐝 that is staying on thhe flower in front of you longer than you deem necessary

The way the leaves are shaking with the wind

The person who pi**ed you off and made you, reflect, think and change in some small way

The beauty of the rainbow

The smile on that strangers face

Big, small, see the beauty that surrounds you.

To see someone is to offer them grace, understanding and validation

Is it easy for you to see others?

To be seen is to feel, felt, to feel validated, to be acknowledged for all that you are.

Do you allow others to truly see you?

Do you open up fully and vulnerably?

Do you give other permission to hold space for you?

To acknowledge and validate you?

Its hard right?... it can feel icky and uncomfortable.

Yet when we do allow others to see us...

Oh the magic,
the softening,
the expansion,

Its 💗

Today I ask you to Allow, today please offer the gift of you being seen.
