During this episode (which originally aired via Substack June 1) I tell the story of how my 3/5 Emotional Generator Daughter came out to us, and how I really didn’t see it coming. (5th Line Projected Expectations, probably).My heart for sharing this story is that we all have unchecked biases, projections, and expectations of our children that they may (or may not) be agreeing to. My heart is that you will hear my tale, and just take a moment today to run your own child’s chart, and just let the objective data of the report inform you. You don’t have to DO anything drastic. But let it tell you if your son is introverted, and needs loads of data before taking a risk, or, like my other son, learns through struggle. Just take a peek, and see what’s there. You might be surprised and delighted! You can run their charts for free at www.sashyaclark.com AND my charts come with a free MINI report to help you get a basic overview of what all those numbers mean. (You can always reach out to me for more information)Loving people for who they are isn’t just sexy, it’s life-saving.The cost of intolerance is expensive.  Check out these stats from The Trevor Project:* 45% of LGBTQ youth seriously considered attempting suicide in the past year.* 14% of LGBTQ youth attempted suicide in the past year.* Fewer than 1 in 3 transgender and nonbinary youth found their home to be gender-affirming.* 60% of LGBTQ youth who WANTED mental health care in the past year were NOT able to get it.But here’s the good news:* LGBTQ youth who felt high social support from their family reported attempting suicide at less than half the rate of those who felt low or moderate support.* LGBTQ youth who found their school to be LGBTQ-affirming reported lower rates of attempting suicide.Do you know what one of the easiest ways to support someone is?  To see them, hear them, release our expectations, and love them for who they are, not for who we want them to be.No, I don’t let my kids walk all over me.  No, they aren’t jerks, either.  But, they ARE cherished for who they are, and Human Design has helped me give that gift to them.If you are asking yourself:“I wonder if there is anything I have missed?”  or “I wish I could get inside his head and understand his inner world?”  or “I know I could help better if I just knew what she was thinking!”Then you this new resource I created for you is going to make you smile!  It is called “Communication by Design” and it is a guide to streamlining your communication with your kiddos (or your friends, or siblings - it will work for them, too!).Click here, and update your information on my list*, and I will get it in your inbox ASAP.All the best,SashyaP.S.
