Sounds easy enough.
But when you are emotionally exhausted it is hard to know where to start...where is my oxygen!?
I spent many sleepless nights trying to figure out what I could do, as a mom, to give my child the skills he needed for school and with friends.
School and friends pretty much made up his world and how he viewed himself in this world.
As an OT I meet kids like this and their parents or teachers who desperately want tools or tricks to share with these kids. They need oxygen too!
I came up with some resources of my own, found and streamlined resources from other professionals and tried out different ways to reach the people who interact with these kids...
the people these kids rely on for guidance, support and stability.
I hope this website helps you see that you are not alone,
that we can help a child find happy.
It just may be time to see this child a little differently.

The secret to happy? It is so many things.
It is remembering to be kind to someone who may be in the middle of crisis when they don't smile back at you.
It is definitely in that moment of tucking your child in and seeing THEM smile.
It may be in the form of a simple gesture that helps you handle the raw emotion you feel when your child still struggles to find success.
WHAT is the key to this secret?
It is in the people.
It is in how we make each other feel.
When someone can see a child for more than behavior it is easier to find happy and this will affect all the relationships we have.
Thank you for being willing to adjust your lens.
