People Puzzles

I like puzzles.
Solving them with others.
Sharing and relishing in the results.

Being a support worker means being part of a team.
All focused in helping a client grow.
It is as if we are solving a puzzle together.

Teaching someone new ways of doing things.
Gently giving advice to someone,
persuading them to "turn it this way".
The trick is letting people know that they're doing well.
" You just need to take a break, come back, and look at things a new way"
and add "I'll be there to help when you're ready".

Wisdom is acknowledging that you can't solve everything alone.
And if we combine our skills, gifts, and understanding then together...
We can solve people puzzles.
