I hate parents who make their children’s lives intentionally hard in anticipation of future possible events which never really happens because they failed statistics class. “In life nobody is going to hand it to you” 🖕

“Children are biologically wired to play.” – Maggie Dent

This simple truth is one we see every day. At Rafiki Mwema, play is more than fun — it’s healing. It’s how our children express, connect, grow, and begin to trust again.

Let’s never underestimate the power of play. 🎨⚽🛝

Also, every person automatically knows how to socialize and are able to form relationships. Being tossed from foster home to foster home to psych ward to group home to juvie to here to there to wherever else, being socially isolated, being drugged, and having only a psychiatrist to talk to have absolutely no effect on a person's ability to form relationships or on their expectation on how relationships are formed. #childhoodmatters #mentalhealth #relationships
Honestly, who even remembers anything before they turned 18? Absolutely nobody. Nobody actually remembers being held down and beaten because their stepfather didn't like that their eyes were adjusting to the light. Besides, that would never happen. Being told to lie to the cops would also never happen. People just like to make up stories. The world doesn't owe you s***, loser. Grow up. #childhoodmatters #victimblaming #woundsdontheal
Did you know that a person will regrow any limbs lost once they turn 18? This is a basic biological fact. We know this is true because childhood experiences don't matter. We know this is true because adverse childhood experiences don't matter. Some people just like to whine and make up stories for attention because they are too lazy to contribute to society. #childhoodmatters #mentalhealth #fostercare
I pretended just like everyone else that none of my childhood experiences actually mattered in adulthood. I'm so very normal. Other people can sense how very normal I am because there are established social mannerisms and cues that I so very easily follow. Literally no person who felt ignored by their parents has ever had depression in adulthood because childhood experiences don't matter after 18. #basicpsychology #childhoodmatters
