So true. Great topic to read up on.

Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder Awareness Month:

~For most people with FASD, there is no "look".
~Facial features affect only about 10% of people with FASD, and many of those outgrow them.
~FASD occurs across every race, income, education level, gender and community that enjoys alcohol.
~More people have FASD than autism, yet we are diagnosing less than 1% of those affected.
~Most people living with FASD don’t even know they have it.
~FASD is everywhere. Recognition isn’t.
___

The effects of FASD are LIFELONG.
Without recognition and appropriate support, research shows poor outcomes.

This is on point. Play is a powerful avenue - in early childhood, elementary, middle school and high school.

Trying to get a kid to internalise a new skill through sheer repetition usually ends in tears for everyone involved. We treat learning like a chore requiring hundreds of tedious drills, ignoring how their biology is actually wired. It turns out that tapping into their dopamine system literally accelerates how fast their synapses connect. Check out the comments for my favorite ways to turn boring practice into effortless brain building.

In this world, be a Dolly!

As a young girl living in high poverty, Dolly Parton practiced into a homemade tin can microphone on her front porch. She had dreams of the big stage beyond her Tennessee mountains.

Dolly, thank you for your smile. Thank you for your generosity. Thank you for your legacy. This world is better because of you.

In this world, be a Dolly.

Are there any benefits to helping another person or volunteering through an organization?

Why yes there is!

For your brain, when we help others our brain receives a reward and releases dopamine, seratonin and endorphins

Depression and anxiety decrease when we volunteer

We feel an inner sense of purpose and significance

Fights loneliness

Get out and volunteer!!!
