"Speak to us of Children"
I've just started reading Gibran's "The Prophet" and it surely is insightful.
I am lifted.

Does anyone have any tips on rectifying the ripple effect, from throwing a rock in a gorgeous lake on accident? I am desperate to find a way to help & support those hurting, especially during the holidays? 💔💔💔
I'm going to be a preschool teacher! After working 10 years in the corporate world I'm switching my career back to teaching.
Working in the corporate world can feel exhausting, overwhelming and honestly like I'm a human robot.
I'm excited to do work that's meaningful and rewarding. These little lives are trusting me to guide and help them learn in a safe fun environment. As my mom would say, "I'm up for the job!"
A big source of my unhappiness stemmed from not being fulfilled in my career. I believe that's why a lot of people are unhappy. Its what we spend most of our lives doing so we should do what we love.
I love teaching, I love leading by example and I love guiding children who will one day rule the world. They are our future and the responsibility is mine.
If you can, do it for your mental health, do it for your passion, do it for your life. Live the life you've always dreamed of.
Switching careers doesn't take away my depression and anxiety but I understand I need to do the things that feeds my soul and exites me in a good way. We're only here for a limited amount of time. I might as well live it how I want to even if that means coloring outside of the lines a little.
I want to know your experience about a sudden switch in careers. What are you passionate about? Are you doing what you love?

Does anyone else, who finds it difficult to make memories 'the traditional way' with their children (eg too unwell to run around with, go on holidays or go on days out) find it really upsetting to watch them grow up?
when you haven't been able to make the same memories as everybody else?
Or feel like you have been robbed of being a traditional parent, and being able to enjoy their preschool years at home together, because as you were too ill to fully embrace this special time?
My youngest has just started school properly after reception (kindergarten) and the past 3 years I've not been able to make memories with him in the way that I did with my elder son (12) before i fell ill 3 years ago.
He was my little man and we did everything together.
Now I realise 3 years has been lost and wasted to bedbound illness and suddenly my baby is no longer a baby like before, he is almost 6. Though we cuddle and play quietly often, I feel heartbroken and sad ill never be able to 'redo' those special times.
Can anyone relate? As im struggling to move on from this
Any advice very much appreciated, love Grace

Hi there, I've just created a group for parents of children with special needs and disabilities.
I'd love you to join!
themighty.com/groups/parentsofchildrenwithspecialneedsanddisabilities
I have two adopted children, one of whom has special needs. We're in the process of an autism assessment at the moment.
I'd love to connect with other parents and caregivers with similar and different experiences. I've made it a closed group because I think it's important that we can share and encourage each other in privacy.

Please join... I would love to meet you and hear your story :)
I've just joined The Mighty community and was thrilled to find this group! I love all the real and honest reflections.
I'm mum to two beautiful, adopted children who are both exquisitely sensitive and struggle to regulate their intense emotions. The greatest gift they have given me is bringing me to the end of myself to a place where I've had to search deep within to be able to meet them with the genuineness and authenticity that they so badly need.
I've realized in such a profound way that we need to love and embrace our own inner child if we are ever going to be able to connect with the children in our care. #authentic #Parenting #SpecialNeeds #SpecialNeedsParenting #MentalHealth #connecting #Children #Grace #genuine #innerchild
My youngest Granddaughter phoned us this morning and excitedly told her she went to see a touring presentation of Sesame Street. She then told us “If we want to go then she would be willing to go with us”.
She never ceases to crack me up. I was blessed to be very involved in looking after her since she was born. We have a very strong bond that does my mental health so much good.
When she was 2 years old and time outs didn't work, she was born with attitude and bless her heart I'm so glad , cause she can handle herself being a single mom. Any who, I would put her in the corner for 2 minutes (pure hell for me, lol) One afternoon I ran down to the cellar to grab the laundry and I couldn't find her. I was gone not even 2 minutes. I'm freaking out yelling her name and calmly I hear her faint voice say to me "Momma, Sarah was BAD" she had put herself in the corner! To this day I have no idea what she did cause I had to run out of the room before I burst out laughing!#MakeMeLaugh #funny #Children #Memories #smile #smile
