It’s almost 8 a.m., and we need to leave the house in 16 minutes and 42 seconds. Two of my children are dressed, fed, and ready to rock and roll with happy, smiley faces. There was an altercation about the one-legged, broken dinosaur, which suddenly, during a fight, became the most loved toy ever! But after tears, shouts, and rants, the small altercation is over and my three-year-old and five-year-old start playing Mummies and Daddies again.
If we are few minutes late leaving the house, we won’t remember it in a few days, but how I manage this moment is crucial for Sarah. I go into her room again—we now only have seven minutes to get out of the house—and as I watch her , hair flying everywhere and staring into space, I hug her.“I don’t know what’s wrong with me today, Mummy,” says Sarah.
She tells me how she struggles to concentrate on what the teacher says. She often zones out and stares at the writing on the board, only to realize that she didn’t heard a word the teacher said. So she stares blankly at the piece of paper in front of her. She watches in fear as her peers start writing. She has no idea what she is supposed to write, but she is too embarrassed to ask the teacher. She tells me how she forgets everything and never knows where anything is.

This is BEAUTIFUL, thank you 💙
