Kids nowadays have so many, there's so much for them to have to pay attention to and think about and distractions and video games and busy schedules and just lifestyle is so hectic that it's become really difficult for kids to focus.
And the reason that kids actually tend to be so good at it, if you could say that, is because there's a huge component of it that's about being open and curious to what you find in the present moment.
Yeah, sure.
So you know, I really believe that relocation is creates a wonderful opportunity for people in general.
And so often families that are relocating with kids see only the the difficulties or the big challenges ahead of them.
And
So part of the mission of the work that I do is to help families see that the opportunities that are created are really wonderful and terrific.
kids who are exposed to a relocation transition and can kind of get through that and see the challenges in front of them as obstacles to overcome, that these kids can develop skills that can be applied as they go through life and on to in the workforce and becoming leaders in society and things like this.
And so
if we can really help them develop that sort of mindset from a younger age, I really truly believe that we are creating a better future for the young people in our society, but really for all of us.
So it's a huge part of what I do and where the passion for what I do lies in that.
I really think we, in the day-to-day interactions, can make a big difference long-term.
Yeah, you know, it really varies.
A lot of the kids that I work with, it is because the families reach out to me because exactly, you know, similar to your situation to have sort of that piece that that touch point, like you said, the connection to support as they transition.
Here in the Netherlands, the mental health care system is very different if you're coming from the States and moving here to the Netherlands.
You know, there are a lot of sort of differences that are challenging to navigate and language complicates all of that.
So many of the families that I work with, you know, I am kind of providing that real transitional support, whether it's, you know, continuing some sort of structure or program that they've been working with in their previous location.
and then shifting that into the support network and system that's here.
That's a big piece.
And in addition, a lot of the kids that I see are struggling with this sort of sense of maybe lack of belonging to the environment that they've now been dropped into, trying to get their head around sort of who they are in the context of the environment that's changed.
