Sally Clarkson
“It took me a little while, but I learned to see my "time-outs" as necessities, not luxuries, and to be vigilant about making room for them in my life. Without them, I found it almost impossible to provide the kind of welcoming, accepting home experience that Nathan and all my children needed.”
Sally Clarkson, Different: The Story of an Outside-the-Box Kid and the Mom Who Loved Him

Sally Clarkson
“Knowing when to correct and train, when to overlook, and when to enjoy and praise is a constant balancing act for a parent, but I tried to err on the side of compassion and sympathy with Nathan. These seemed to be the tools that opened Nathan's heart to correction. And these gifts could only be given through personal time invested over and over again.”
Sally Clarkson, Different: The Story of an Outside-the-Box Kid and the Mom Who Loved Him

“God is out there in the dark right past the spotlight, watching me perform this song called life. I don't think he's waiting for mistakes or counting the mess-ups, I think he's waiting to jump to his feet in applause.”
Nathan Clarkson, Different: The Story of an Outside-the-Box Kid and the Mom Who Loved Him

“We must learn to desire the light God offers more than the safety and comfort of the darkness where we already live.”
Nathan Clarkson, Different: The Story of an Outside-the-Box Kid and the Mom Who Loved Him

“When children understand that their parents accept them whether they are behaviourally perfect or not, that they can trust the grown-ups with anything, then they will be more likely to seek their parents' help when they have engaged in more serious misbehaviour.”
Sally Clarkson, Different: The Story of an Outside-the-Box Kid and the Mom Who Loved Him
