[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think there is a relationship between her need for perfection and the fact that you have 2 other SN kids. Seek professional counselling. It is very difficult to be the "normal" kid under this circumstance -- she has to fulfill all of your needs for a great kid. Although my DCs are normal and I would never make let them overextend themselves this way. Why are you taking away the activity she loves the best? Ballet? In favor of violin, where you said she was under the thumb of a perfectionist teacher. Isn't his more about you than her? Very thin at 14 is not a good sign -- most 14 year olds are very hungry and love to eat.[/quote] I agree with this but want to gently suggest that you use the word "typical" rather than "normal" to describe your children. My DC with a developmental disability is not "abnormal". [/quote]
