Seth is a vivacious ten year old who loves geology, and biology, bio-chemistry, and most especially rocks. He attends a private school and I have the pleasure of working with him after school twice a month to help him become less anxiously consumed about his frequent stuttering blocks, focusing on rhythmic breathing and prosody strategies..
Last month Seth shared with me his idea of each of us bringing "gifts from our heart" to our therapy session. We then exchange our heart gifts,and talk about why we shared what we did. A great self discovery tool.
Today he brought me a heart shaped composite stone from his personal rock pile. I brought a clean paper sa
ck and we collected 7 cactus babies from my Mama cacti for Seth to plant later this week after their calluses form.I am inspired to share this idea, as Seth and I discussed it earlier today at our speech therapy session. I shared about the KindSpring website and its importance in my daily life.
Seth wanted to let my kind friends know that "gifts from your heart do not require Moms and Dads to pay for stuff, in fact they are much more important because they are a piece of who we are."
My heart gift is now in my backyard, in a place where I will see it every morning when I rise. For this my heart is smiling.
