Hi folks. I am looking for some opinions on a parenting issue I am having at the moment. My son started highschool this year and goes to 2 different schools, 1 in the morning (a regular highschool) and another in the afternoon (a special highschool for kids with learning disabilities).  We were having issues with getting him to go to the afternoon school and after a big heart-to-heart about it, come to find out that it is the atmosphere there that he is having a rough time with. "Too much negativity" as he puts it which I can understand COMPLETLY. It is mostly troubled kids and handcaped that go there and he's having a hard time coping with the vibes.

I figure we will look at getting him switched completly to the other school for next semester, but in the mean time he has to finish out this semestor there. I am thinking maybe some sort of protection crystal on a necklace might help?

Any other suggestions?

Smoky quartz is good for protection, but you can also teach him to shield himself.   Have him visualize a mirror all around his body and pointed outward to reflect back any negative energies that come toward him.  Near to his body he can visualize himself surrounded by  a violet light, then add the mirror part outside of that.  If he keeps his shield up during school hours, he will feel much better.

If he has any free time during the day, say on the buss between the schools he could meditate.  That always helped me when I was a kid.  I had several years that I didn't share lunch with my friends (We had two lunch periods about an hour apart, cafeteria wouldn't hold us all.)  During the years I didn't eat with my friends I made it a practice to meditate for a few minutes each lunch period.

Thanks! I've put a small amithyst cluster under his mattress (which he doesn't even know is there lol) and he seems to be waking up much happier I have a golden tiger eye point that I usually carry in my purse that I am going to cleanse tonight and put on a necklace for him to try out I think. If that 1 doesn't feel right maybe I will try getting him a smoky quartz (I wear a clear quartz). For my own sheilding I visualize a silvery light which would be much like the mirror you suggested. Up to this point I have usually done shielding on him myself, but only in certain circumstances, like during a rough football game or before/during a meeting with the principal etc. I guess it's time to teach him how to do it himself.
