Mental health advocate Losh Naidoo of 'The Mommy Club' inspires with her triplet daughter's school triumph

"The Mommy Club: Sugar & Spice" reality star, Losh Naidoo, recently took to social media to share a heart-warming story about one of the triplets completing her grade 12 exams despite several challenges.

Aside from being an occupational therapist, make-up artist, fashion designer, podcast host, fitness enthusiast, she is a mental health advocate. 

The devoted mother, who is raising triplet daughters, Dashriya, Daneha and Dayika, inspired fans through her video.

"Normal looks different for everyone!!" she captioned the video. 

She shared how Dayika struggled with anxiety, which led to the difficult choice at the end of grade 10 to enrol her in an online school.

"At the end of grade 10, we made the most difficult decision to take her out of mainstream school and to put her into online school. This was particularly difficult for us as a family because they are triplets and separating them was a very hard decision," Naidoo shared. 

As the family received various suggestions to take a gap year or explore different educational paths, the Naidoo family chose to stick with the online schooling option.

"Now she is writing her final matric paper ... It's been a journey, but she has been so strong and excelled through it all."

Naidoo encouraged children who don't fit into what people call "normal," telling them: "For all of you kids that don't fit into that box of what 'normal' is, I want you to know that you fit in, you can do it, and it doesn't have to be done the same way as everybody else.

"You find a way that works for you. You are going to be all that, you are going to be successful." 

To fellow parents, she said: "To the moms and dads who have to navigate kids that are different, you've got this. Let's help each other. Let's also normalise not being normal so that we can make all of our kids fit in and achieve and accomplish their goals."

Her message resonated with many fans, who took to the comments to praise Naidoo for addressing such an important and often overlooked issue.

Shavanna Prakash commented: "Someone somewhere decided that A students are normal. The ones that will rule the world ... Society places all emphasis on a schooling system that fails so many.

"Kudos to you and your child on all your successes and achievements. Let’s normalise success in all forms, not just on academic excellence." 

Neetha Ticka wrote: "This is amazing!! We need more people to speak out to normalise 'different'. Some of us choose to isolate with our 'different' kids to protect them and our family peace, and quite honestly, some adults and educators are more nasty and judgmental and force us all deeper into a hole sometimes ..."

Annelene Govender congratulated Dayika and praised Naidoo as an inspiration: "Mental health matters, let's continue to spread love, light and positivity."
