There's no doubt that parenting kids with additional needs comes with its own set of challenges, and it can often feel isolating and overwhelming - this is a great space to share those challenges and celebrate each other's wins.
What unique difficulties do you face when navigating the world of special needs parenting? Whether it's melt downs in public or intensive care regimes, we're here for each other's support and understanding.
I'll go first! One of my biggest hurdles is keeping my patience when my child has an outburst in a public place. It's so tricky to keep calm and respond thoughtfully when you're exhausted and embarrassed. I end up feeling so self-conscious, which only makes things worse. Anyone else relate? I'd love to hear how you manage these situations!
