Justice, 12 years old, CA

Wish submitted by:

Justice comes from a large family. She has six siblings, one niece, and her mother is the sole provider for the household. Justice loves learning new TikTok dances, enjoys running cross country, styling her hair, and creating scrapbook art. However, Justice struggles to communicate her feelings and emotions both at home and school, which sometimes leads to anger outbursts and tantrums. She feels misunderstood by those around her and wants to learn how to manage her anger and express her emotions more effectively. Plus, Justice has sensitivities to light and sound, which can cause her to feel overstimulated and lead to self-isolation. She is currently working on achieving her behavioral goals, aiming to become more comfortable using her coping skills to control her anger and reduce her outbursts and tantrums.

Justice often feels overwhelmed and overstimulated by the noises around her, which can lead her to react aggressively towards family members or, at times, run away from home. To help her cope, Justice would benefit from using headphones. This would allow her to listen to calming music or her favorite songs, helping her to calm down during overwhelming moments.
