[quote=Anonymous]I am not posting specifics for my kid's privacy, but my ND kid (who is much older than yours!) has historically had huge anxiety around birthdays (whether they are equal, whether they will live up to expectations, etc.) and this has caused stress for our entire family. We're not perfect parents, but I don't think we've done anything "wrong" on birthdays specifically - we do celebrate birthdays but don't at all go overboard, and my NT kids do not have any of these issues. We've tried lots of strategies and nothing has helped even slightly except maturity. For your own sanity, I'd just try to do whatever you think is reasonable and accept that a lot of your kids' reaction is going to be out of your control. But yes, I very much relate.[/quote]
