My son Adidev was diagnosed with multiple learning disabilities in 2019, namely Dysgraphia, Dyscalculia and Dyspraxia. Alongside occupational and remedial therapy, working on his inner transformation of self played a key role in his turn around.
Acceptance, is always the turning point in any story. We at home made peace that we are different, that different is unique and not inadequate, that our learning interface is different, and the world is filled with people who dared to be different, who embraced a new way of life. He not only learnt to write better but recently won a handwriting competition, learnt Math through play and Lego, sports and hand eye co-ordination with sheer grit and practice.
Last year, his school acknowledged that he is testimony to the power of human resilience, exemplary in academics and behaviour too.

Problem: Twin brothers pre mature birthing, one excellent at everything he did, while the other was quiet and supportive.
We observed a restlessness in the child while chatting about sibling rivalry, jealousy session. Parents said he was very understanding, supportive child but quiet and doesn’t live to his potential, he’s the weak one.
Solution: Post session in that very week, he had a breakdown after loosing a badminton match. He broke his racket and yelled at his brother. He finally shared that he feels lesser in everything and doesn’t like the condescending tone used, nor the assumption that he’s weak. He feels conflicted wants to support his brother but feels resentment too. He opened his heart and shared.
Had 1-1 counselling session to seek support, made an action plan to foster a healthy relationship, requested his brother to teach key skills rather than secretly resent him forever.
Result: more openness and warmth between the two kids, more healthy discussions instead of exhibiting one upmanship behaviour.
Problem: School was facing an intense bullying situation with respect to two children who were unusually aggressive (post pandemic). Managing the parents was also key, as they were in denial. Teachers were spending energy on daily conflict rather than teaching and the class which was getting divided into groups.
Solution: We conducted the first 2 sessions of Understanding Our Emotions, with special focus on releasing anger. Created an opportunity to address the students without any bias and help all the children understand the importance of their actions, channelising their anger as well as take responsibility as a class.
Got written feedback as part of the understanding triggers and got them to write an action plan for future use.
Result: School saw great improvement holistically, the class was no longer involved in daily drama. The parents got proof and clarity on situation. School counsellors were provided with bank of solutions to address pain points.
