[quote=Anonymous]We generally dont share, at least not in detail. Its probably for the better, your kid isnt going to want input and comments from the peanut gallery as she ages. Sharing the diagnosis and occasional vague updates is enough. Leave the details to her medical team and school. I will also say that both of my siblings have kids with special needs, and they operate similarly. We support each other with general "parenting is really hard" "i know youre doing your best" "im glad youve found a solution" type comments but we don't get in to the weeds even though we all are facing similar challenges. We will occasionally bond over the hell of IEP meetings but we let our kids just be kids and treat them as family without getting in to details on issues. There is a way to be supportive without inviting them in to your inner circle.[/quote]
