Through the Window of Wonder
A Child’s View of the World The sun was barely peeking over the rooftops when Lily, age five, pressed her nose against the cold glass of her bedroom window. Her breath fogged the pane in little clouds, and she traced circles into the mist with her finger.

Shadows of Obsession
The Beginning of Darkness Eva was always unique, a girl whose thoughts teetered on the brink of reality and madness. Born beneath a tempestuous sky, she entered the world silently, her initial cries overshadowed by the roar of thunder. Her parents, weighed down by their own challenges, were unable to offer the affection she yearned for.

However, as she matured, her dreams took a darker turn, descending into obsession and paranoia.

Note: I am in no way a parenting or child psychology expert. I am a parent with autism and ADHD, raising a highly sensitive child with ADHD, doing my best to make it through the roller coaster we call life. This article is about my own experiences and will not relate to everyone.
