It didn’t help that others were always telling me that ADHD isn’t real, or that I just needed to be more strict with him. I concluded that I just needed to fuss at him about his problem areas, so that’s what I did.[Click to Read: Don’t Mistake Your Child’s ADHD Symptoms for Bad Behavior]I’d nag and shout to get my points across, or to help him stay on task.

But this way of parenting was completely draining, and my son began to see me as a dictator, not a mother. I could feel our relationship straining.When my son was eventually diagnosed with ADHD, I had to let go of everything I thought I knew about being a mom –.

Autism Future Planning: 5 Factors to Consider
A diagnosis can be shocking. You freeze. Unable to think, to move, to decide, to do. But, over time, you learn to both live in the present and plan for the future. It can be challenging just to get everyone out of bed, and wash, dress and feed them on a (semi-)regular basis. Add in ever-changing online and hybrid school schedules, telehealth appointments, and other aspects of parenting in a pandemic, and it’s no wonder you are at your breaking point.

Ways to Identify Signs of Dyslexia by Grade Level
Anywhere from 15 to 20% of the world’s population has a reading disability marked by symptoms of or relating to dyslexia, according to the International Dyslexia Association. Since it is a language-based learning disability, dyslexia can impact a child’s reading, writing, and speech in various ways. While the symptoms and signs are vastly different from one learner to another, there are age or grade-specific indicators that parents can make note of for future discussions with doctors, special educators and specialists, if necessary.

The Lie That Creates Guilt for Parents of Kids With Disabilities
I am the mom of an extraordinary young lady who has spina bifida and uses a wheelchair. I am in tons of disability-related parent groups and I read or hear over and over again, “I feel so guilty. What did I do wrong to cause this?” I even thought this myself before meeting my incredible friend group of identity-proud adults with disabilities here in Washington. This group of people became my dear friends and teachers about how to support my girl well. I am so grateful for their wisdom and lived experiences.

Parents of Autistic Children Need to Listen to Autistic Adults
Since my son Caleb has been diagnosed with autism, I have been trying to educate myself by reading books and being a part of online communities that have both autistic adults and parents of autistics in them. I recently stumbled upon a Facebook group for people in my area that was originally started by a group of women (parents of autistic children) as a way for them to feel supported. It has now expanded and grown to be a large community filled with all types of people affected by autism from many different walks of life.

The 'Holland Moments' of Parenting a Child With a Rare Condition
If you are a parent of a child with a disability or a rare disease, you’ve probably heard the poem Welcome to Holland. By the 10th time someone read it or mentioned it to me, I probably rolled my eyes. I’ve never been much for the schmaltzy and possess a healthy level of cynicism. Plus Welcome to Holland is a bit dated as our views on disability have changed since it was written in 1987. Nevertheless, I’ve been thinking about Welcome to Holland a lot lately, because it examines an experience I have had many times since our boys were born.

You don't have to be a specialist to support people with eating disorders like me - you just have to listen and care.
But no matter where I looked, I struggled to find examples of people who looked like me or had similar experiences to what I was going through. The only people I had heard of with eating disorders were young girls and the only people with anorexia shown in the media were nothing like me at all.

I’ve been especially worried about my 46-year old brother and only sibling, Pete, who has Down syndrome. I knew if he got COVID, it would likely be a severe case — he’s immunocompromised and has a history of bronchitis, pneumonia and lung issues.

When I told him, he asked if it had only happened once. Then he threw out the list again. “Anything? Anything?” he asked.

Why Anxiety Among Millennials Is More Than a Coincidence
I was on the phone with my mom yesterday when I brought up one of my cousins and how she too struggles with severe anxiety. Hers is so severe that she has had to drive herself to the ER because of panic attacks. Then, my mom mentioned two other cousins who struggle with anxiety. My mom and I joked about how so many of us had anxiety and said that if she had mentioned having a headache or being nervous about something, she would be told, “You’re too young to have headaches or be nervous.” Basically, she and her seven other siblings would’ve been brushed off or told to “suck it up.” Not because her parents were mean or anything; that was just how it was back then.

Benefits of good customer service
When you wish to buy something you always wanted you to feel excited about that. After entering a market, the first thing that you do is to look for the thing that you wanted to buy. You look for other options and when there is a sale, you feel happy. Imagine entering a store where you are looking for something and no one is there to guide you or show you the stuff that you are looking for, how will you feel? That is the role which is crucial for shopping, played by the salesperson. If you find a kind customer service executive or representative, you feel eager to shop, and sometimes their behavior makes you buy more.
