“Having emotions is as much a part of being human as having a nose or an elbow or a brain that you can’t see.”
“Unfortunately, for so long, they [emotions] have been demonized. We think of them as silly, awkward, fluffy, signs of weakness, something to be shoved down or put away or dealt with behind closed doors.”
”How can I shift my lens on these emotions?”
“I often tell parents not to take emotions personally from your kids, especially our beautiful ADHD kids, because it has nothing to do with you.”
“My child’s nervous system is constantly and unconsciously detecting cues – like a radar – as to whether I’m safe and things are okay or is there a threat.”
