Day 142

One young girl’s journey is going to be a truly different over the next weeks compared to the sadness and exclusion she has/is experiencing.

It’s amazing how important the set up and the joining of a group can be (actually no its not amazing...it’s really common sense one would think). To see the smile on her face, the bubbliness of her personality, along with her quick wit and intellect was great, but all the better as she has a physical disability that may make her sound like she is speaking a mumbled baby talk. Many adults have accused her of this. One actually made comment today.............but to see her attempt and her peers correct the adult was such a growth experience for her. (The adult felt so bad, though I could have easily made that same mistake in similar circumstances).
Parent was quite shocked at the chatter on picking her up, and questioned the truthfulness of her making friends, being included in play and being high fived by her peers when her quick wit caught me out. (NOw thats a first). So loved that moment and grateful for the opportunity I get to work with smaller groups. Now to transfer this into her school environment..........
