[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I think you're a black man. I'm a white woman, and I want to validate your perspective.

[b]I don't like boisterous rambunctious boys (or kids) in public and kind of encourage my son to act like you do yours. [/b]But for different reasons. I fully acknowledge your reasons, and I agree with you that this is real and true. I'm really sorry that's the case and I don't fully know what it's like.

I also think that had you posted this on DCUM two years ago you would have gotten more support. It's been kind of taken over my MAGAs and MAGA-lites, so, don't take these responses as the whole truth. [/quote]

As the parent of a child with invisible special needs, the bolded statement is so triggering. I’m constantly working to get my kid close to the average, energy-wise. Parenting books, parent coaching, parenting classes, IEP, expensive therapies, etc. I’m not allowing my child to be more energetic because I don’t care. My child is more energetic despite years of attempting to bring him into the norm. [/quote]

There is a balance.  My kid had SN and we had to heavily work on behavior but when they acted up we left and put a lot of focus on it.  They learned quickly when we stopped for a time of going out with them.[/quote]
