As a child, they shone brightly.

Then something happened.

As they grew, things began to change.

They started to feel pressure from society, school, and family, accumulating emotional baggage.

Because they are still a child, they might keep these emotions inside, sweeping them under the rug, thinking no one will understand or fearing judgment.

Or they might turn it into anger towards parents, siblings, or others, making it hard for them to make friends.

Some emotions can be bottled up for years, and many of us pay the toll and spend the second half of our lives untangling the emotional trauma we experienced early on.

To a child, it doesn’t take much to create so-called emotional “trauma.”

Maybe they were picked on at school, felt “different” from other kids, felt not good enough, or believed they weren’t loved enough compared to their siblings.

It could be anything.

When the mind is stuck on certain emotions, it casts a shadow over a person’s life.

It’s like a flashlight shining on an object in a dark room—the closer the object to the light source, the larger the shadow it casts.

Similarly, when a child experiences emotional blockages at an early age, it casts a big shadow on their life, affecting everything they do in the future.

At IVY International Education Consulting, we believe clearing social and emotional blockages is of utmost importance. Social and emotional well-being plays a critical role in a student’s life, affecting their studies, sense of self-worth, and overall health.
