Counseling Intervention for Young Individuals Birds fly, fish swim and children play. Stapoo aims at making young individual emotionally healthy.

This famous quote by Dr. Gary Landreth, inspired me to create ‘STAPOO’, a place where children, adolescents, parents & teachers get an opportunity to connect with their inner child. ‘Play’, the natural medium of communication, which encourages a reciprocal conversation, is the philosophy of this organization. We act as a connecting link between Parents, Educators and Young individuals. All interve

ntions and therapies are play based. We provide a mental floss and help young individuals have a strong resilient belief system for life.

Kindness is not the same as giving childlike treatment to an adult with a disability. Respect humans, their choices, and their being even when they have a disability.

Pen down all your complaints on a piece of paper and thank them all. Just look closely how there is a hidden blessing in all the complaints you are carrying within you. Try doing it and you would see how well you are taken care of by the universe.

Another must watch movie for children & the child within you is ‘Orion & the Dark’.

Orion is a child who fears almost everything, from speaking up in class to sitting next to a girl he likes in the 2nd grade. But one thing he fears most is the “Dark”. The movie ‘Orion & the Dark’ not only shows how fear magnifies all the negative thoughts & feelings in the head but also how meeting our fears reveals they aren't that bad.

Dark is shown as a character in the movie who faces rejection not only from children but also from other elements of the night like sleep, dreams, the unexpected noise of silence, & insomnia. Yes, the movie shows the different elements of the night, helping us understand why the night brings a weird sensation of discomfort. It's not light that makes us brave but befriending our thoughts about our fears that helps us overcome them.

As a child psychologist, the most interesting part of the movie was the element of time travel when Orion is narrating his daughter the ways in which he coped with his fears of darkness and his daughter travels in that time, becomes part of Orion’s story & gives ideas of coping with the fear of his & her own fear of darkness. Storytelling is like time travel where our children become part of our story and the stories travel from one generation to the other.

Dreams as we all know helps the brain to process emotions, consolidate memories, rehearse scenarios, and sometimes spark creativity.

We all daydream too & drift away from reality especially when reality is too painful. Daydreaming is a defense mechanism, a strategy the unconscious mind uses to cope with stressful reality.

“In your dreams” is an interesting movie which talks about how children who are facing stress may get stuck in wishful thinking, a dreamy world of their own where they find stability and relief from the trauma of reality. At the same time, the movie talks about how wishing for what we want can drift us towards deep denial & getting in touch with reality may become too difficult for children. The movie has also given a different perspective to nightmares. Nightmares are actually a way to figure out solutions to our real-life problems. It has given a powerful way to cope with reality by introducing the concept of lucid dreaming where children feel empowered by giving direction to their own dreams. It is a must watch movie for all children & parents and especially those who are struggling with difficult transitions in life. While dreams can give us ideas to deal with stress, we have to fight the battle in reality and implement solutions in the real world.

Children heal in safety, not speed.
Healing isn’t rushed. It unfolds when a child feels safe enough to be themselves.

When adults expect teachers, tutors, coaches, or therapists to “fix” a child into an ideal version, valuable time is lost that could be spent nurturing the growth and well-being of the child. The real work lies in supporting the child they already have.

Going to school is no longer just a duty or a Must-do task for children. Children, today feel respected and understood by their teachers and teachers too receive love & respect, not out of fear but because of the bond between them. I know this may not be true for all schools and all children. But, it can become a reality for all educators and learners.

I recently attended a talk on how we need to develop a mindset for inclusion. It is not just confined to physical infrastructure but a mindset that needs to be cultivated. I have a story to share with all of you where inclusion is not only the need for people with disabilities or neurodiverse needs but it is for everyone. As we embrace inclusion, we embrace a life of ease and grace. Try it!

I was in a parent counseling session with the parents of a 15-year-old boy. The parents were irritated and extremely worried about their boy’s careless and impulsive attitude towards life. We were in the middle of our discussion when my next person, Shayan, came in 20 minutes early than his usual appointment time. I took him in and he entered the house and he noticed 2 strange adults sitting in my house. He looked at them and paused and he went to the father of that teenager to give him a hi five. The tension on the father’s face released. He smiled and said “How are you, young man?” Shayan didn’t reply but he just smiled and said “washroom”. I said “Yes washroom, go to the washroom”. I usually reframe Shayan’s single word communication into a complete sentence. He then went straight to the washroom. Shayan is well versed with my house and he can independently choose to go around as per his need. I continued with my discussion with the parents and they started off telling me about how it is becoming difficult to explain to their teenager about the importance of class 10th boards. We all became serious again and Shayan just decided to come and sit in between the parents with his legs crossed on the sofa. He continued to look at the parents and smiled. While we still spoke about their worries, we all had a funny smile on our faces. Shayan held the parents’ hands and sat there and the energy of the entire room changed. When the clock ticked 12pm, Shayan looked at the clock and I told the parents that it is his time now and we all laughed and the parents left the room with some hope and patience and most importantly the feeling of love in themselves.

Shayan is a child with autism and I have known him since 2015. Shayan is a boy with few words and each word carries a meaning. He can say the entire sentence in one word and he can shift the mood with a smile or some funny thought or cute transactions of toys which he does with me.

Don't waste your time analyzing if it was a fake su***de threat or they mean it!

Keep listening to your teenagers until the ideation of su***de is no longer an option in their mind!

Every life matters!

Sometimes, we struggle ...struggle too much to get the simplest of our needs met, and we start to think that others dont care for us.

If we look carefully, then we realize that the "belief" of deserving the good in life based on our struggle is the source of creating the hardship in feeling not cared by others.

When you reframe the belief to, I can have my needs met without having to struggle, then you would notice that a lot of things come easily to you like -
- Saying No when you want to say no
- Eating an ice cream when you want to eat
- Spending your money the way you want to
- Sleeping on time as per your schedule
- Putting your phone on silent because you are watching a movie

Pursue a path that aligns with your authentic self!
The process of civilization makes us feel 'Not okay' about ourselves. The journey of growing up can be difficult when we are compared, corrected, and criticized. In all of this, the authentic self hides behind masks to please the society.
