Audrey's Fearless Spirit
Tuesday, January 21, 2025 | By: Storybook Studios
Audrey has a very strong sense of who she is ๐. However, she does not move through the world with confidence. She has a speech processing delay, which makes the back-and-forth banter that is teen conversation challenging ๐๐ฌ. As a result, she is very quiet and doesnโt often engage with her peers at school.
As a military family, they move a lot, and it takes her a long time to warm up to and connect with other kids her age. She finds it easier to be on her own than in a social group ๐ฅ. She longs to connect with other kids ๐ but struggles with making it happen. Audrey is very thoughtful and doesnโt say anything she hasnโt thought out beforehand ๐ง โจ. Audrey loves books ๐, science, learning about new things (especially facts), and is a HUGE Pokemon fan โก๐ฎ๐พ.
๐ฃ What Audrey had to say about the Fearless Spirit experience:โจโAudrey enjoyed getting to make connections with others. Sheโs been able to see herself in so many different ways ๐ช๐. She said she can now allow herself to let her walls down without worrying that sheโs being judged ๐๐.โ
๐ฃ What Audreyโs Mom had to say about the Fearless Spirit experience:โจโSince participating in Fearless, we have seen an increase in Audreyโs confidence ๐ช๐ and poise ๐โจ. She has increased confidence in building friendships. Audrey has really enjoyed connecting and making friends with the other girls in a safe, supportive space.
