[quote=Anonymous]No, I don't think I do. I do have an ES ASD/ADHD kid whose challenges became much more noticeable last year. This has forced me to step up my game as a parent in a way that I should have done when he was younger. But I was struggling much more back then myself, which may have contributed to his challenges. I feel bad about that, but all I can do is move forward with more awareness and understanding. Ironically, even though I'm doing a lot of coaching, I feel like I'm more relaxed and have a decent amount of free time. Dealing with my own anxiety has helped me reshape my perspective. With both my kids, I try to maintain a balance. "I will play your game for 15 minutes, then I have to do the dishes." My DH and I also trade off taking the more challenging child to activities, so one of us can stay for suppport. [/quote]
