A Lifelong Tool May 01, 2020

Show notes

One person’s practice of Transcendental Meditation can create a chain reaction of discovery. When Teddy’s mother began studying with Bob, she realized that meditation might help her son with special needs. Meditation gave Teddy a lifelong tool to deal with his mental health, and by hearing his story it may inspire you to spread this practice to others who can benefit from it. A child like Teddy who is twice exceptional (2e) has exceptional strengths coupled with exceptional weaknesses. These children are considered exceptional both because of their intellectual giftedness and because of their exceptional weaknesses/deficits: (e.g., specific learning issue, neurodevelopmental disability, anxiety, depression, etc.).
