[quote=Anonymous]My son is 6. Has sensory issues and fairly serious anxiety and trouble regulating emotions. He is in a "typical" private school (rising 1st grader), gets good support from OT, and a therapist. But, he struggles. I am so worried about my son. I am scared to stay home because if I do I may lose my sense of self/joy I extract from work, but wonder if I really need to be home for my son and also daughter. If I stayed home, I could pick them up from school, more actively participate in their afternoons, be home earlier for dinner and just be there more, it would be better. But then I worry, if I stay home, I will be almost too focused on my son's issues, which I genuinely believe he will work through and grow through. I suffered similarly when I was his age and turned out stronger for it. These things take time and patience, not acute management. I am so torn. It's not even that there is a real choice, but I feel so guilty and out of control and am trying to seek answers. I would be grateful for others to share their stories and decisions, regrets, joys, and learnings. Thank you to all in this wonderful community. It's my first time posting, but I do read this board and take comfort that we are all out there together. [/quote]
