Have any of these thoughts ever gone through your mind:

Why can’t I just DO this?
I didn’t mean to go so far!!
Why am I getting yelled at?
I’m sorry! I forgot!
I’m so dumb.
There’s too much work.
I feel overwhelmed.
How do I know if they like me or are just using me?
I lost my work.
What am I doing?
I’m too weird.
Why would anyone like me?
Who am I?
I don’t know what to do first.
Why do I always have to do that job??
How do I stop being angry all the time?
Why am I like this?
I don’t know how to be around people.

What you get when you sign up for Child Compass:

Learning & Direction

You will walk away from this service knowing more about how you tick and what works for you. It’s hard to do something when you don’t know what you’re doing. It starts with discovery and continues with a plan. When we know how the different parts of ourselves work we can then work in a more confident way. I’ve got things to teach you that will help you with that!

Mindfulness

You will walk away from this service being more aware of what serves to help you calm or create your personal chaos. There are persons, places and things that pull at us in a draining kind of way. Learning how determine that and how you want to act, interact or react is the main focus in our time together.

A Plan

You will walk away from this service having an understanding of how to determine a goal and how to take action on realizing those goals. You tell me what is hard for you to do, what you struggle with and what you’d like to be better at. From there we make a plan on how to conquer that.

Supports, Resources and Tools

You will walk away from this service having a better understanding of who and what will best serve you in your journey to finding out who you are. When we find our people, places, skills, gadgets and tools that help us through our world opens up and everything becomes possible!
