A parent approached our organization with concerns about their 10-year-old son. They explained that when he became upset, he would express his frustration by crying and talking about wanting to end his life. Despite the parent's worries, the doctor only prescribed anxiety medication, which the parents did not wish to pursue. He participated in the 16 hour class as well as two of the wellness retreat trips to Shaver Lake and Fresno State. The 16 hour classes opened up opportunities to learn about his likes, dislikes, triggers including things that calm him down or made him happy. Our team discovered his love for talking and giving facts, dancing and wildlife. He was introduced to breakdancing with one of our instructors, but this did not fully align with his talkative nature. In one of the classes he shared stories about his father raising chickens and his fascination with observing them outdoors. For his 11th birthday, SPWC gifted him an egg incubator and 12 fertilized eggs. His parents reported his great joy at receiving the incubator. He spend his time researching the life of an egg and regularly updated his mother on the eggs progress until they hatched. After 8 months of caring for the chickens, they began laying eggs, which he then sold to his mother and incubated more chicks. In July 2024, his mother shared a photo with us, proud to announce that he had successfully incubated 32 chickens and sold his first batch of 12 for $100. She noted that whenever he felt frustrated, he would spend hours tending to the chickens, rearranging their living space, feeding them, washing them, or simply observing them. Today, at 12 years old and on his way to 8th grade, he considers himself an entrepreneur in the chicken business. His future goal: "when I am done with 8th grade I am going to go to Sunnyside, I heard they have a class with chickens."
