Spoon Bouquet
Today my daughter sat down with her kids, handed them a bunch of spoons, and used the Spoon Theory, authored by Christine Miserandino, to explain my daughter's TBI. Christine was describing her battle with Lupus, but the visual was phenomenal to explain to the children, ages 6 - 16, what mom is going through with her traumatic brain injury.

It helps to be understood. Later, after the explanation with the spoon bouquet, the 6 year old asked mom, "How are your spoons, Mom?"
