"The adult in the room is the most important resource. We need to take care of the adults so they are able to meet the children where they are at." ๐ @paulinescott222@ACEAwareNation
From the minute we start school, we are told that paying attention looks like sitting still and looking straight at the person talking. This is by no means true for many people, let alone neurodivergent people. Colouring can really help my ADHD brain to focus. It doesnโt mean Iโm not paying attentionโฆit means the opposite!
Our work team meetings have colouring and fidget toys and it makes the world of difference.
