[quote=Anonymous]You will gain friends through your child's special needs. It is hard and painful and uncertain. Mindfulness meditation can help. There are wonderful dictated meditations and dharma talks that can help you get perspective at tarabrach dot com--the podcasts are free. Tara Brach is a world-famous mindfulness meditation expert and she is right here in the DC area. I am using it to help with my own stresses of having a SN child and also to face my own difficulties as a worrier and my own sensitivity and reactivity in the face of defiance from my child. At times like this, sounds like you need a break. Let your child watch more movies or TV if you have to just to give yourself more nurturance and strength so you feel more patience and appreciation when your break is over. Make sure you are getting some exercise (even just walking) to help your stress level. (Wish I could practice what I preach--but I know it helps me when I do it.) Best wishes. [/quote]
