This quote speaks for itself. How often do we come into a situation with a student and have our own preconceived notions about the family or the student alone? A fellow counselor was telling me this week that her new principal starts out all student concern meetings with her staff like this: "We are all here to support this student no matter what. This is a reminder that we will not talk about a child's family unless we are talking about how the family can help support the child." It was something to that effect. What a great way to shift the conversation toward the positive and also away from things that we cannot control.
What about love? Can simply loving someone help to empower them to become the best version of themselves? I hope so. I think so. I believe so.
