It is estimated that there are 140 million orphans worldwide. But did you know that only 15.1 million are “true orphans,” meaning there are no living birth parents known? While this number is staggering, when viewed from an alternative vantage point, it means that 80 percent of children worldwide have at least one living birth parent. This number doesn’t take into account grandparents or other extended family members willing to care for the child. Hope for Life is working towards a continuum of care for homeless and street-involved children and youth that prioritizes family reunification when possible, safe, and sustainable.

Get this right in the first 3 years of their lives. This is the advice from Dr. Gabor Mate. Watch this video and focus on the innate biological and emotional need of our kids to feel attachment with their parents. Withdrawing, not coming to them when they need us, not letting them express emotions - all these are unhealthy for our kids. The more we are attached and nurturing our relationships with our kids, the better they can learn, grow, and become healthy adults. Nurturing relationships with out kids keeps them healthy. Let's do this! #attachment #Nurturing #relationships #needs #Relational #parenting #masterfulparenting #parents #parentingadvice #parentcoach #Help

Internalised Ableism is our topic of the week at Thriving Autistic in the Adult Discovery Programme Have you had some people say to you: "Oh but everyone is like that…! " Do you find some people try to empathise with you but that can also feel quite invalidating and a diminishing experience? It can be hard to convey the inner experience of being autistic and even when you are sometimes offered accommodations that can be hard to accept due to internalised ableism and stigma and shame that can also push support away eve when it is needed! Any thoughts or experiences you'd like to share? We are working through some of these difficulties and sharing experiences which can be really validating - just knowing you aren't alone is powerful. If you'd like to join our next cohort or join in our free monthly online adult support groups please check out our website: https://lnkd.in/eXaWF6FK
