There are children in this world that feel things on a deep cosmic level.

Unfortunately, these gifted children are sometimes misunderstood by society because they act differently. Teachers and doctors are quick to judge or diagnose them with ADD or ADHD and may recommend medicating them.

However, these kids are the Changemakers of the world. They see things through a kaleidoscope of colors and possibilities.

We should be championing these unique thinkers and uncovering strategies to help them succeed. A lot of these children have sensitive nervous systems that may get activated very easily, so teaching them grounding techniques can be extremely beneficial. Otherwise, they may be at risk for anxiety, depression and isolation.
