- 'Wot's Normal' - Children can not react appropriately if they are not given the right information, the right strategies to use in different circumstances. They are not born with the knowledge of their emotions, and as adults you can appreciate how difficult it is when dealing with so many different individuals throughout our days. The changes constantly to our own and others body language and emotions vary dramatically daily. Imagine how a child feels? The title of my website is exactly what it says, "Wot's Normal". I feel we have lost or are losing a sense of who we are and who our children are by chasing a fallacy of society in which are to suppress how we really am and not allowed to feel our emotions, nor express and share them. Allow your child to open up and release what is going on inside of their minds and body; this is the only way they can feel absolute joy and more importantly feel "just right" in who they are meant to be.
