If I hadn’t come to Casa Emilie Xoxo, I wouldn’t be the person I am today. Coming here changed many things in me. In therapy, my attitude towards myself became more positive, and it allowed me to try new things.
For example, I started practicing coding with tablets, I learned discipline, and I realized that I can achieve anything I set my mind to. Here I learned about self-love, and I felt confident enough to be myself. I stopped fejavascript:void(0);eling insecure when interacting with others.
Also, I like coming to the Centro de Esperanza Infantil because I receive support with my school subjects and I am taught new and challenging things. Some of my favorite activities have been the painting and crafts workshops, and also when we had the emotional support workshop where we talked about the importance of helping others.
As Paris’s mother, I feel very happy to be here. For me, taking care of my family has been a challenge since she is a teenager, and at home there were often arguments and disagreements because rules weren’t being followed. My children have improved — I know they still have work to do, but I can already see that they participate more, talk, and show interest in other things.
The teachers at school have told us that they’ve noticed a change in my children and asked where we were taking them. In addition, by coming to the Centro de Esperanza Infantil, they have learned how to make friends at school, because they used to be very quiet.
Finally, Mrs. Elia told us that receiving psychological services together with her children has helped her a lot.
