When you have a "regular" child you feel reasonably confident that class participation and decent study habits will result in good grades. These guys have close friends. They are invited to participate in social things such as dances and weekend gatherings. They form teams, audition organizations, and clubs.
But when you have a child with neurological differences, this is often not the case. Learning can 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 rewarding experience, school can become a breeding ground for depression and anxiety—and assign a battlefield at home. It's exhausting for both parents and kids. ❤️✨
💜💙💛This Monday starts the week of SPED (Special Education), AUTISM, Asperger, Dyslexia, ADD, and any neurological difference.
To all the children struggling every day to succeed in a world that doesn’t recognize their gifts and talents, ✨and for those who are walking alongside them, please let this be a loving reminder to be kind and accepting of ALL people.
Children who learn differently are not weird. They are simply talented in ways our society doesn't appreciate enough. Yet they want what everyone else wants: To be accepted!!
💜💚💜
If you so choose, please COPY AND PASTE this in honor of all the children who, like so many, are considered "different." Our world would be so much less beautiful without them and so much easier with your empathy...for the wonderful children who make HUGE efforts every single day of their lives. I honor and admire them beyond measure.
