We do a little back to school gift for the kids ea We do a little back to school gift for the kids each year. This year Sam was hoping for a Clapper and we made not only his dreams but my GenX dreams come true. These kids fall asleep with lamps on all the time and now they clap their way to darkness. Link in bio to find yours on Amazon.😂👊🏻#youllmakeitandtheywilltoo #theclapper #asseenontv #claponclapoff
From the book... "Our world is broken, but so oft From the book... "Our world is broken, but so often we feel like we cannot admit being broken ourselves. I have found this to be true when other people whisper to me about their struggles and when I struggle to share my own. Why are we like this? We think we are living completely abnormal broken lives, yet everyone’s life is broken in some way. By its very definition, this means it is completely normal to live a broken life. We are humans. We break easily in our bodies, our minds, and our hearts. And for some reason, we want to give awards to people who don’t break—or at least who pretend they don’t break. And we all chase it. In the meantime, we hide our brokenness from one another and are lonely and miserable, and we shush our children, telling them not to say a thing about their own brokenness, making the next generation feel this same way. I am here to tell you that it is okay to be broken. It is okay to talk about being broken. It is okay for our kids to be broken. It is okay for our kids to talk about being broken. And in that moment in the bedroom, this is what I told my kids. Brokenness is normal, and when it happens, we need to find out why and not ignore any of it. I tell them this as I drag them to therapy. I will no more ignore the pains of their minds and souls than I will of their bellies or their throats. I will not tell them to suck it up. I will not let them hide from the pain. I will not let them for one moment think they are abnormal weirdos for the pains of their minds and hearts and souls. They are gloriously human, and they are feeling all their feels, just as they should. They can be both broken and whole. Because the only way to be whole is to accept your brokenness. And the only way to the other side of suffering is through it. But they have what it takes to make it through. And they can be open and honest about it, even if it is hard and they feel like it is not what someone wants to hear." If your teen is struggling with mental health or with anything really I feel you my friends. I get it. You'll Make It (and They Will Too).
