I think we've all had those moments Yael, and then I remind myself how it could be worse and look at DD's strengths rather than her weaknesses, and try to find opportunities to praise her and that makes me feel better, but sometimes it's harder than others. Perhaps his not getting enough sensory stimulation...
I've just come home from a meeting with our school were we have arranged for DD to do only 2 hours a day (10am-12pm) and we will do Waldolf homeschooling (which is heaps more sensory based) for the rest of the time. THEY were very supportive and accommodating, and even suggested only paying pro rata fees, which was great! WIN!!
Hey, Just after some suggestions..
Lately mornings are a real issue. There is anxiety, pacing the house, hand flapping, back forth trips to the loo, belching etc etc. Its a new thing to be so anxious in the mornings.
What sort of things can I suggest to help my HUSBAND! Poor DH, I know he is under stress at the moment, But he really seems to struggle in the mornings. Once he is ready & off to work he seems fine. But the whole getting ready process is obviously distressing for him atm. He even commented this morning about how hard the mornings are. He says he is enjoying his new job, lovely people to work with, nice environment etc.
I suspect that maybe its the leaving me for the day with that any call to work could be me saying you need to come home Im in labour... I just wonder what I can do to help him. To be honest (and selfish) its doing my head in a bit. I need help in the mornings getting the kids ready but he is just pacing around the house trying to pull it together.
Kinda funny when I noticed him hand flapping this morning. He always does it, or he rubs his hands really fast together. All I could think was.. And you don't really think the boys are on the spectrum?! Look at you!
