[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]5 is hard because it's a time of high energy but especially for kids with SN they are not able to communicate what they want to be doing and when they are overwhelmed and need to leave. That's why you see meltdowns because it's communicating that whatever is going on is too much. It will get easier OP. You've learned ballet and soccer are not for her right now and that's a start. One day soon you'll find things that are easy and that will be a great day. I know a few families like PP's whose children have done well with animals. Do you have a pet or can you see how your child does with a small pet? [/quote] Omg, I could have written the OP. Do.Not.Get.A.Small.Pet There is help, though, I think. I can feel myself getting better about accepting my son day by day and week by week. Locally, there is the Raising Orchids group. I am a big believer and it’s really helping me. Please look them up. Gabriel and Jen. Also, there is the fact that she’ll grow some. She has the executive function of a younger child in the body of an older child. This is a marathon. For now, focus on the positive. I’m sure you’re doing better than you give yourself credit for. I will say, they are sensitive to how we’re feeling, so check your energy and judgement around her, and she will probably do a bit better, too. [/quote]
