[quote=Anonymous]I’m sorry.  That stupid trip to holland thing always made me so irritated.

I don’t know how old your kid is, but I will say that some of the folks I knew that had the easiest kids in ES have had a really rough time in HS.  Because sometimes those kids were highly compliant due to anxiety that exploded at puberty.  Or some of them were highly complaint in ES because they cared a lot about peer reactions, which can also be a disaster as a teen.  I think some of those moms really got the wind knocked out of them when this happened.  For me. I learned early that stuff wasn’t going to be predictable or easy so I think maybe I take the challenges in stride a little.   I don’t fool myself into thinking that it’s all about how I have raised them — I think a lot of moms of the kids that were so good in ES really credit themselves as soon if things fall apart at puberty, it shocks their sense of self.  I think I have a slightly more realistic view of what my role is.

The HS path is different, for sure, but some kids with SN sort of even out a lot by HS.  Or at least the issues don’t change as quickly so you can deal with them more predictably.  Those earlier years are tough.  [/quote]
