🔭 Week 3: The Lighthouse (Team/World)

The Lighthouse Effect & The "Social Deflate"

“I have great ideas, but the moment someone critiques them, I want to hide.”

Does this sound like your child? For many neurodivergent kids, the gap between having a brilliant idea and successfully sharing it with a group feels like a canyon. This week, we dive into the science of Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD) and Divergent Thinking.

We’re moving beyond "just fitting in" to a concept we call The Lighthouse Effect: learning how to value a teammate’s plan without letting your own internal light go out. Discover how we use Minecraft to coach kids through the "Social Deflate," helping them move from withdrawal back into active, confident contribution.

Inside this week’s Voyage:

• Biological Reality: Why RSD is a neurological short-circuit, not a "bad attitude."

• The Re-Entry Move: Why we reward the courage to try again over the final build.

• The Family Brainstorm: A simple 5-minute tool to build a "Safe Harbor" for your child’s ideas at home.
