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!
It Happened Again
It happened again.
In a prior post titled “I Can’t Believe He Likes That!”, I spoke about a mom remarking on the fact that her child enjoyed an activity that she never thought he would- going through a dark, fabric tunnel.
Well the other day, I had a similar conversation with a father of a new client.
Hope
He did it.
My son graduated from high school yesterday.
Now, you might be thinking- “That’s great Amy, but tons of kids graduate from high school every year!”.
But here’s the thing that’s different for us- for my son- for my family.
I Can't Believe He Likes That!
"I can't believe he likes that!"
This was what the mom of a new client said to me.
The Only Thing
"It's the only thing that's helped." These are the words of the mother of my six year old client.
The (Last) Day
I don't want to see my Brain Fit clients for forever. That's right- I want there to be a "last day". I want my clients to get to a point where they are ready to stop seeing me, to stop participating in Brain Fit.
Primal
"This felt different to me. It felt deeply engrained. Like on a primal level she felt too vulnerable lying in that chair having somebody tower over her in her mouth."
It’s Not About Me- But it WAS About Me
"How are you feeling- about going into client's homes?" Pam asked me as we walked up to a client's front door. "Good!" I replied. "If you asked me that question six months ago, I'm not sure I would have had the same answer, but I'm good!".
The Smiles are the Reward
There were smiles all around as he and his mother told me the news. He was sleeping in his own room for the first time in over two years! This ten year old boy had been working with me for about 4-5 months at the time and had been sleeping on a mattress on the floor of his parent’s bedroom because he was too scared to sleep alone.
