hi to all,
I hope everyone's difficult child's first days back at school were calm and uneventful such a hard time all around it seems the transitioning back after long summer.
So, i wanted to throw this out and see if anyone had any ideas........
my difficult child sweet girl of mine i love her so struggled thru first day. she doesn't eat lunch in lunchroom, she has no friends had one but she as we used to say flat left her for someone else. so she sits alone in lunchroom and stares off. i thought of getting her bag of candy for her lunchbox tomorrow so she can offer it to other children a way to break the ice so to speak.
other was how do you explain to your child why they are the way they are? how do you respond when they say i just want to be normal i don't want anymore doctors or pills or when they describe themselves as being weird?
it's very hard to always say the right thing. i do the best i can but was curious what others say. i at times have to excuse myself and say i have to go to bathroom so she doens't see the tears in my eyes. it stinks. as i'm sure you all know.
ok thanks!!!!
