[QUOTE="Fran, post: 366424, member: 3"] Personally, I think, we as warrior mom's are always trying to balance introducing our difficult children to typical experiences and buffering them from their anxiety. I always call it nudging. I try to encourage difficult child to do n/t things that his peers are doing(with accomodations). I am also always looking for pitfalls that will set difficult child up for failure. It's a balancing act but I want to help him and nudge him. It's tricky. Do what feels right for difficult child. I ask myself "who does it serve?" for me to insist on difficult child doing something that he will be anxious about. It's not giving in. It's navigating the world for our difficult children. Our kids aren't going to have all the same experiences as their peers but we try to keep them close to the group. [/QUOTE]
