We all are fascinated by the concept of Superheroes. We dream of having their their powers and vanquishing the foes who attempt to hurt us. The interesting thing about Superheroes, though, is that none of them ever became a hero without facing hardship. Many, in fact, started out just normal people like you and me. They had to find their powers, harness it and take responsibility for their lives in order to overcome their challenges. So, don’t let your hardships break you. Let it strengthen you and shape you and help you unlock your power to becoming your own superhero.

Sincerely Yours

Being bullied has a deep and negative impact on a child’s life. It is unfair, brutal and an unfortunate part of growing up for many children. Many parents believe that it is just a normal phase and is something that will eventually go away. Perhaps. What will never go away, however, is the lasting impact the feelings associated with being bullied will have on your child’s development. We, at The Couch, have a strong message for you. As a child, you are not powerless, and as a parent you are not helpless. There is a way forward, a way of thinking and acting that gives you the power to choose and act differently.
