The lotus flower in pedagogical work with ADHD
Supporting vulnerable young people with ADHD requires a careful, individual approach. The lotus flower can symbolise several valuable principles in this work.
Principles in working with ADHD
Flexibility
No matter how turbulent the water around the lotus, it remains calm and flexible. We adapt methods and approaches to each person's needs and situation.
Patience
The lotus grows slowly and gradually. Likewise, working with ADHD requires patience and perseverance, as development and learning can take time.
Acceptance and inclusion
The lotus grows in murky water, but its value is unaffected. People with ADHD should be accepted and included regardless of challenges and differences.
Self-development
The lotus represents transformation. We focus on personal growth and development – both professionally and personally.
Calm and balance
Though the lotus grows in restless waters, it stays calm on the surface. We create an environment of calm and balance where the citizen can thrive on their own terms.
The lotus as a symbol creates a positive approach focused on strengths, potential and opportunities despite challenges – reminding us of the importance of perseverance, patience and belief that change is possible.
