have you tried getting them into sports? let them try all kinds of super fun sports, especially cardio heavy ones.

or musical instruments.
Not my kid, but she did try a few activities like soccer and dance. (I don't have a list rn but her parents did try a few ones)
But yeah sure, if she was to find an activity that passionate her and gave her self esteem it would probably help A LOT. But using the medicine first could also help her a lot to reduce shyness, give self esteem so it becomes easier to try activities and find joy in them while getting out of her anxious brain.
You're not wrong, at all. it's just that we could say the same thing about an adult doing shrooms for mental health. "You should find an activity/a passion instead."
yeah. totally get it. extremely difficult (& sad) problem it seems to have very young people already depressed or what have you…. since it’s not your kid, i’ll also say that the kid’s problems are probably highly due to some family dynamics going on -or- they’re being bullied at school. SO SAD! 😭😭
There's definitely a family dynamics going on.
It's not that the parents are mean are do not love but I feel a lot of stress in the household 🫤 it also dosen't look easy at school. Confidence issues.
I really do think some mushroom, that are Nothing more than a natural medicine (imo), could help her build some self love and confidence to then attack the world more strongly but.. I will never convince my sister that it's a good idea for her kid.
And I get it. I can't really call anyone stupid for not giving psilocybin to a child even tho I think it's not necessarily a bad idea.
ive never done shrooms, but im hearing that micro dosing really works (in adults), so it might not be a stretch to give to kids(???). but at the same time, like what’s been said here about weed, & which i agree with, the brain still develops through one’s twenties & even more so as a kid. *IF* i had a kid, i’d probably try my hardest to resist using any brain drugs…except for natural exercise (whether it’s cardio or more intellectual like with math or music). but i don’t have a kid, so i’m kinda just talking out of turn…but i’ve always been a bit of a major health nut. 🤗🙏
but i also just strongly believe from personal experience that my sports & fitness background that started from childhood has done more for me than anything else for mental health and resiliency (both mental & physical). 🫡 okay, that is all. 🙏
