Parting With the Dark Cloud
I was in Mrs. Seymour’s fourth grade class. I was the quiet student. I was smart, but I was respectful which made me appear to be meek and shy. I had never been in trouble at school or, for that matter, even received “a look” from any teacher. Yes, I was that little girl - Little Miss Goody-Two-Shoes!

Mama, I see you. It took a long time but I see you. I can understand now. I got hurt because they hurt you. It doesn't make what was done right but that is the hard truth of generational trauma. We all are little children who need to feel loved, wanted, needed, accepted, and protected. When that doesn't happen for one reason or the other, that is when trauma comes into play. Our human minds can't accept the fact that someone who was supposed to love us, someone who was supposed to protect us has rejected us. We will forever question, why? What did we do to deserve this? It must be our fault somehow we assume. Most of the time, it is not about us but the person rejecting us and their past. The pain they felt; and rejection get projected onto someone else. The pain isn't meant to be shared but it has to come out some way and too often it comes out in the wrong way. This needs to end. We are all human; at the end of the day, we can only do our best. However, a genuine effort needs to be made to not pass this poison down the line to our children and the next generation. I'm personally working on my change and my truth. There are better outlets, more healthy outlets, than passing our anger, hatred, bitterness, and pain onto a loved one.
Lindsey AltomPublished 7 days ago in FamiliesHow to Influence Teens Today
Teenagers today do not wait for their teachers and parents to quench their curiosity. They stay empowered all the time, holding a device in their palms. Earlier, even today, the best way to guide teenagers was by leading by example. I’ve seen that teenagers often emulate the behaviours and values they observe in adults.

Praveen PkPublished 8 days ago in FamiliesNarrating & Modeling: Language Acquisition for Littles
Narrating & Modeling: Narrating and modeling are invaluable tools in teaching young children. Narrating involves verbally describing actions, emotions and situations as they occur, providing children with a clear understanding of what is happening around them. This helps build their vocabulary and comprehension skills, enabling them to communicate their own feelings and needs more effectively. For children who may display anxious tendencies or feel challeneged by transitions, narrating offers the additional benefit of adding predictability to the routine, while providing the child with context as to what is happening, when and why.
