What kinds of challenges have you encountered and what strategies do you find helpful?
I think it's beneficial to have an open discussion where we can share our experiences and strategies for coping with the unique difficulties of raising children with additional needs.
For instance, my child has difficulty regulating their emotions, which often leads to intense meltdowns. We've found that creating a calm, quiet space in the house helps ease everyone's nerves during stressful moments. A visual schedule also seems to help them understand the routine and reduces resistance.
I'd love to hear about the challenges you face and any strategies that have worked for your family!
