challenge time 4 Liv

[Guest guest]

Well, I took Liv to therapy today..........I used to take her to play

therapy as a child in a effort to minimize the trauma she was continually

undergoing, but it never seemed to resinate and she semed to be a happy

kid...considering...Over the last 6 months she's been dealing w/ the

bullying issue at school (which she is still not backing down to) and last

week I could tell she was really down in the dumps. I asked her what was

up and the tears began to flow. " I hate my back and I hate living like

this! " I tried not to cry myself as this has always been the worry. I

kept it together, but decided that a pro active stance on her mental

health and confidence maintenence would be best. To make a long story

short, her 1st appt. was today and it went well. I loved the therapist

and am looking forward to taking this approach in trying to ensure Liv

doesnt internalize all this negative scoli stuff. Gosh, this teen stuff

is soooo hard. The make up, tight clothes, talking back, wanting to be w/

friends 27/7........Dont get me wrong, Im not complaining....Just grateful

to have a typical teenager, I guess.

Thanks for listening.

Thinking about you and Liv.
