“The most vulnerable kids are the ones who are incredibly smart and sensitive and feel deeply, but DON’T show up as the brightest kids in class. These kids are so smart, they know they’re not performing to their potential, that they’re not like the other kids around them, and they usually don’t know why. The frustration created by this discrepancy within themselves is incredibly damaging – leading to anxiety, depression, behaviour issues, etc… “Too often, even the most successful, brightest and most creative people go through life afraid on the inside, hiding the fact that they’re constantly questioning themselves. Someone once explained it to me as “imposter syndrome” – being afraid that you’re not nearly as great as everyone thinks you are, and someday, they’re going to find out!”
