Destructive Behaviour is Gone

I used to know an anxious and angry child whose outbursts and negative behaviour almost had her committed to a residential behavioural treatment program. Sara would destroy toys and  property, spit, throw her shoes and scream non-stop. She started picking at herself and eating her hair. Her outbursts of anger were destroying her relationship with peers and teachers and hurting her family. The stress it caused was overwhelming. I had regular calls from her school and she was often threatened with suspensions. After meeting Mas, Sara has changed. She is playful, empathetic, open to connections, has made friends and now has the ability to work through emotions in a healthy way.  She has started a business selling her own arts and crafts at school- all on her own, and she’s making a profit. She’s 10 years old. The child I once knew is gone. “*
