[quote=Anonymous]There is no shame to be struggling right now- I think we all are! Parenting during a pandemic is hard. My kids are two years apart and my youngest, while not having special needs, sounds similar to yours in that he is strong and reckless and will do dangerous things without thinking. He needs to be constantly monitored. Honestly it did get easier after the youngest turned two but the real corner was when the youngest turned 3. Life is much, much easier now- we can leave them playing in the playroom for a little while and clean the kitchen, or I can take a shower without worrying about them killing them selves. I also, since the pandemic, have been able to work with them on cleaning up after themselves- this is not easy and I need to be strict with them (often acting as a traffic cop- now pick up all books and put them away, now the legos, etc) but they have a better sense of responsibility and it’s not me just cleaning up after them for hours every night.[/quote]
