Welcome to one of my favorite topics, Shadow Work.

*In this episode, we analyze what our subconscious shadow is, how it forms early on in our childhood, as well as our persona, our ego.

*We can gently bring it to light with self-compassion to understand our unseen patterns, stories, and triggers.

*We review the benefits of wholeheartedly accepting ourselves, for ourselves and our gifted child.

*We define Jung's theory of the child's mind opposite to Lock's "Tabula rasa" and how this helps us develop our child's true self.

We will start with 5 mins of Square breathing. Breathing can be the difference between anxiety and calm! We will take this time for ourselves. We will take time to breathe.✨

By controlling our breath, we can control our mood.

We can regulate our nervous systems, inhale positivity and exhale negativity ( and toxins). 

We will then have 2 mins of Positive visualization:

How can a child thrive with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)?

No doubt about it, it takes a village determined to support the child. Successful ADHD families report being supported by teachers, coaches, and extended family members.

It takes most of all the determination, unwavering patience of parents determined to see their child thrive no matter what, determined to see strengths where others see weaknesses.

Debbie Phelps, a middle-school principal in Towson, Maryland, and mother of Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps, gave multiple interviews about him. Here is what I learned about Debbie.

This summer there will be broken records, broken hearts, massive success, and devastating defeats as the world’s greatest athletes compete...   

There is something about watching human beings compete at such an elevated level... 

What can we learn from the high-performance US Olympics Team and other Olympic teams? And mostly: what can we learn from coaches, as parents, so we support our gifted high performers the best we can?  

I have always been obsessed with what helps someone achieve more, in brief, high performance. in this episode, you will hear my 12 reasons why elite athletes achieve the success they set out as goals.  Take a listen!

Why do some gifted children lack self-esteem? I think it is a valid question...even if not all of them do!

Some children were gifted with so much more intensity, depth, and intelligence. Yet, they don’t appreciate and value their self-worth.

With asynchronous development and overexcitabilities, their social well-being is a bit complicated at times, not always and not necessarily dramatically. But yes, they will display differences compared to this very neurotypical world.

Those differences are the starting point for their discomfort.
