[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it’s hard for parents of NT kids to really understand what it’s like to parent an SN kid, especially if they don’t outwardly appear SN. I avoid having these conversations unless it’s with someone I know will be supportive. I found the NAMI support group to be a good place to connect with other people when I need people who really get it. [/quote]

+1  I'm no longer doing 3-5 therapy appointments a week (2 of 3 kids with ADHD/anxiety/LD) but I'm still doing so very much to support them where they need it and help them learn to be independent. It's not as consuming as it was but having an NT DC in the mix really highlights how much different kids with SN are from NT kids.  It's not that my NT kid doesn't ever need support/help, she absolutely does. But, it's not as much for as long or at the same level of intensity.

I don't think I do too much for my kids with SN.  The goals are independence, competence and confidence.  That's a tall order for my 2 kids with SN. [/quote]
