Question

teach kids that its not normal to be in pain all of the time, we also need to start taking kids seriously when they talk about pain or difficulty physically, kids and teens can absolutely have chronic pain, medical conditions and disability that you cannot see. a kid isnt going to lie to you about being in pain 24/7 repeatedly.

We need to remember that kids are people. If we want to teach them to be compassionate and thoughtful, we need to treat them that way from when they're young. We need to respect their claims and not just ignore them because it's more convenient.

This is why I became a school psychologist.... being a kid of immigrant parents from a third world country, being brown in the 90s education system among other things... various things really left a negative impact. Listening and advocating for them can be extremely draining but unbelievable gratifying when I get adults saying they are doing better after some time being off my radar.

My doctors told my parents I had asthma without ever even looking at me (my parents had an appointment and described it to them).
Put me on inhalers, told them it didn't help. They, again without seeing me or testing, insisted I just wasn't using the I healer correctly and gave me a special one that was supposed to remove any "operator error". Still didn't help. I gave up arguing because they still wouldn't even see me. Because  I guess all kids just want attention?
Fast forward 20 years, turns out I have my mom's rare and deadly lung disease.    Also turns out they easily could've tested me for both types of asthma using a breathing test... 🙃

My mum was the only one who believed I was in pain from age 11. It took until I was 17 to start getting diagnosis
