I can't say enough how awesome you are, Staś. I love how you don't repeat the slogan of "non-verbal doesn't mean non-thinking", but dare to back it up with your actual IQ scores. 👍 You deserve all the love in the world. 💝

A very insightful poem about bullying, its effects and the complex reasons children sometimes engage in this behaviour.

Want to know what it is like to be mute? To be autistic? To have grown up in foster care and then be adopted? To live with the trauma?
I’ve answered it all in a new, very personal blog post.

An important poem about war and the devastating ways in which it haunts children, and so beautifully written.
“They say children are resilient;
that’s just a fancy way of saying we survive things we shouldn’t have to.”
