[quote=Anonymous]I am privileged to now not have to work during the summer. I dreamed of this when I was working long hours at an intense job with little vacation time. However, my youngest child is very difficult, has adhd and possibly autism. The child tries to be social and wants friends  but things can turn on a dime and they will be violent and spew swear words to other children- sometimes I don’t know what the trigger even is. I am on edge any time we go out in public. When school is over I will have zero breaks from this child because I cannot trust them enough to go to any camps and getting sitters is impossible. My dreams of a fun summer with my kids at the pool and beach are just dampened by this child. Does anyone have any ideas on how to spend the summer with a child like this? The child is going into 2nd grade and also has older siblings that have cried about just wanting a normal sibling. It makes me sad his behaviour is effectively ruining being able to have a happy childhood. I am not a happy mom, I feel sad for my child. I’m trying to help them with various therapies and medication but it’s still extremely hard.[/quote]
