Sunday reflections

Good morning Hunter family,

I am extremely fortunate to work with children, just like me - not that I am a child, although sometimes I act like one 😁 The connection we have is unique and we constantly learn from one another. Sadly, we are also misunderstood on a regular basis, by others. I don’t think it’s intentional but we have to work harder to explain who we are and what we need to thrive.

Yes, there’s plenty of training around ADHD and other neurodivergent conditions as well as what behaviours can arise, but it’s really not enough. It falls short of the, “why” aspect of all children and adults that it affects. The lack of understanding in this area, why neurodivergents don’t follow a linear pattern, why can you create a masterpiece one day and then can’t even step foot in the classroom the next, why did you just shout at me, why, why, why?

I advocate for every child I work with, neurodivergent and neurotypical, those with trauma the quieter children, that go under the radar and those that like your company often. I have challenged, professionally, that more needs to be in place. So, I have offered my experience and guidance to run a series of meaningful presentations, guidance, strategies encouraging nurturing behaviours, between adults and their children (neurotypical and neurodivergent children) in the first instance.

Does anyone here know or has seen a positive example of this in action?

Many thanks

Lana 😊
