Welcome to the Brain FUNdamentals Blog!
I began this blog in May 2020 while working as the Lead Coach and Educator at Brain Fit Academy Inc. Today, I’m excited to continue sharing my insights and experiences—only now, I’m writing from the perspective of my own company, Brain FUNdamentals LLC! While the name has changed, my passion for this work remains the same!
Walking the Loop
In a previous post titled "Out of the Loop", I talked about "The Learning Loop" and how it relates to us and our children. If you haven't read it yet, I suggest you read that post now in order to fully understand what I'm about to say.
Sense of Self
When you think about the phrase "sense of self", what image does that conjure up for you? Maybe you think about yourself, and what your place is in the world. Maybe you think about your child and about how they see themselves. Or maybe you're like me and think of someone going off to "find themselves".
Trust
Vulnerability is a raw emotion. And trust is a needed emotion.
Sometimes
Being a mom of a child with special needs, or a child that struggles, is hard. Now, I'm not discounting dads, but today the focus is on moms.
Hold Space
One of the guiding principles at Brain Fit Academy is to "notice without worry or judgment". In the post titled "Notice" I talked about why noticing is an integral part of what we do and different ways that we help kids to "notice".
Resilience
Resilience. It seems to be one of the many buzz words going around these days- but what does that really mean?
Tune Up
Need a tune up?- and no, I'm not talking about the car type of tune up. I'm talking about a Brain Fit tune up.
We’re a Team
When you hire Brain Fit Academy to work with your child, you get a team of people, not just one coach. We like to think of ourselves as a Brain Fit Family, and we like to stick to together like family.
I Get It
I get it. I understand what it's like to have a child who struggles in school and in life. I get it.
Beauty
I’m sitting in front of a beautiful lake, eating my lunch between appointments and I’m thinking about beauty. There is such a wonderful amount of beauty in this world. In the sky, in the mountains, in the lakes and oceans, and rivers.
Connection
There's a one-on-one connection with my clients that I think is very special. As I've mentioned before, I've worked with children most of my life in some capacity or another but this type of connection is different.
