Hi, Kristina Bown, board member for Rhys Above. It is ever-present that the world that we now live in is a lot harder on our children. As an educator, I have always had a passion for watching students thrive. I see kids that struggle mightily in school, but there are many more that are dealing poorly with the constant stress and pressure of a life that is more difficult than any math problem.
With increasingly more societal pressure bubbling over for today’s youth, the amount of our support needs to increase as well. After all of the talking that we do about the kids of today, it is time for us to start listening. Their formative years are not the same as ours. We need to recognize this and work to change the perspective. With my role in Rhys Above, I relish the opportunity to bring about change that benefits the future.
