The MindKey Health team stands wholeheartedly alongside Indigenous communities in supporting Truth and Reconciliation, today and always.🧡

We believe every child deserves to be supported in a way that honours who they are, where they come from, and the experiences that have shaped them. We believe the embodiment of this approach to care is absolutely essential to reconciliation and decolonization in our communities.

We are proud of the Indigenous connections within our organization and will continue to learn and grow, and we remain deeply committed to ensuring every child knows they will always belong and matter.🧡

Sending admiration and thanks to Urban Iskwew - Artwork by Hawlii Pichette for creating this stunning artwork 😊 To our community, please go check out her website! https://www.urbaniskwew.com/

If your teen is becoming increasingly nonchalant, create a safe space for their big feelings. ❤️

Remind them that working through these feelings is often how we discover what we want. Whatever happens, our experiences help us build the relationship skills we’ll carry into adulthood.

Every experience is an opportunity to grow!

Thank you Psychology Today for the great advice in this article!

Teens are tired of the pressure to be nonchalant. You can help them shake it off.

Some learning and developmental differences can overlap, which is why it is not always obvious what is sitting behind a child’s difficulties.

Dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia and dyspraxia can all affect learning, but in different ways.

A child might struggle to read fluently but explain something brilliantly aloud.
They might understand exactly what they want to write, yet find getting those ideas onto paper exhausting.
They might cope well in many subjects but become completely overwhelmed by number concepts.
Or they may need far more effort to plan, coordinate and sequence physical actions.

And, importantly, children can have more than one of these differences.

We need to look beyond one individual sign and notice the pattern, intensity and impact across everyday life and learning.

The more accurately we understand where the difficulty lies, the better we can support the child rather than simply assuming they are not trying hard enough.

Understanding the difference helps us understand the child.
