[quote=Anonymous]Yes I used to get really angry too and then my 8 year old dyslexic / AFHD daughter broke down one day in the car after having a meltdown about her snack being wrong. All she could say was that she must be stupid and crazy since she can't read or control her temper like normal kids. It was a terrifying glimpse into her self- concept. That was when I started working with a parenting coach and therapist to help me manage myself. And I became relentless in finding extra curricular where my daughter could excel. Before that I was so focused on school. I really didn't understand the huge impact of these challenges. I thought we could fix this with some tutoring. And I try really hard to see my daughter through the kind eyes of her extracurricular teachers. My own perspective tends to be harsh and judgmental and I always see the deficits. And that is exactly what I don't want to share and am still working on.[/quote]
