Children are not abstract; not general phenomena, and definitely not "normal." Neither are any of us who care for them. In thinking about complex issues it is helpful to be very clear on the individual, specific, uniqueness of each child, in their particular context. We are all heroes of our own story, and creating space for these stories, and how they overlap or interweave, is crucial if we are to humanely and sustainably help.
