Parenting A Special Needs Child

Lying is never a good option!

If Tiger Woods had learned this skill as a child, maybe he wouldn’t have complicated himself as an adult? His parents could have  done a better job of conveying to him this important life lesson, so that he could be a true role model.

Parenting a special needs child is never simple, so let’s encourage our children not to add to the load by stretching the truth in ways that might complicate them.

What’s a parent to do when hearing one’s child exaggerating and faking situations in order to keep up with peers?  I overheard my child pretending to have seen movies and done things that she clearly had no idea about just so that she could be involved in the conversation with other kids, and I squirmed inside that she was making a fool of herself.

Check out how I tackled it in this clip and please leave a comment to let me know what you would do in this situation.

What is the biggest exaggeration you have heard coming out of your child’s mouth?

As a parent of a child with special needs, can you empathize with this situation?

Now is the moment of a meltdown by a parent. I am so upset! You can’t imagine how much. and why!?

After all the drama and the agony leading up to the dog show, what finally happened on the big day? Deena won FIRST PRIZE IN THE COMPETITION!

So, what’s the problem? The answer is that I wasn’t there at the time and missed the whole big event.

As a parent of a special needs child, I go through so much upset and tension handling her issues every single day. Surely you can imagine the  meltdowns, confusions and frustrations we deal with absolutely all the time, so when something wonderful happens, I want to be there to enjoy it. I deserve it! Also having the opportunity to see the joy of achievement on her face is a blessed sight-that is something for a parent to cherish as it doesn’t happen too often.

So check out this clip and see how the whole situation unfolded into this crazy mess .
