An investment gone sour. Or . . . having a child with apparent, even severe, difficulties. Some people will buckle under the stress and experience their life situation as overwhelming. Others will survive and attempt to cope. In order to break the mold and approach the events of our lives with new courage, we must first adopt a new vision . . .
Every person is individual, precious and wondrous to behold.
In the end, we lose touch with our appreciation of our child and our delight in their presence. The insights, the inspiration and the work of Barry Neil Kaufman and Samahria Lyte Kaufman inspire the perspective all of us have here at The Option Institute. A special child is not a curse but a gift . . . Finding a way to help that child, or young person, and being there in the most loving, supportive and facilitating way possible is, in effect, learning to express the most powerful and humane part of ourselves. The most powerful, dedicated, useful and loving resources in a child s world are his or her parents.
