When you say "give a voice" to what do you specifically mean by that?

That's a great question @Former-Member, and one with a big answer, I've written about 10 000 on this very topic. But in short, it's the capacity to tell stories about oneself, and to make sense of your experience through narrative. This also includes the opportunity to share your story with others. Importatnly, it also means being heard, and feeling like your story matters. Hope that makes sense.

@Mazarita can we virtually swap places? 12 degrees sounds balmy in comparison to how cold it is here.
@Former-Member LOL! Do you still claim to know more than your boys now that they're big boys?

Okay, doing a virtual flat swap with you, @CherryBomb. I'd like a getaway to the Blue Mountains for a little bit.

I didn't stand a chance @CherryBomb 😏. One is doing a double degree in engineering and computer science and another is doing honours and looking to start a PhD next year in sports science. I think my boys surpassed me well and truly in high school but by then I had time to adjust and accept it 😝. And they've been correcting me for years :face_with_rolling_eyes:😳
