Parents of Children with Special Needs

Parenting is hard

I’ve yet to hear someone say, “Gee, parenting is just the easiest thing in the world! I know exactly what I’m doing all the time!”

The truth is that all parents struggle, even parents of children who are developing on a typical trajectory.

Parenting children with special needs comes with a unique set of challenges, rewards, and often increased complexity

There are things that parents of children who are typically developing may take for granted.

When you have a child who needs extra support or who has challenges friends or family don’t understand, it can be easy to feel overwhelmed or isolated.

As you make decisions about how to raise your child, you seek additional input – but the information available is often tailored to parenting of typically developing children.

It’s important for you to grow your ability to parent your wonderfully unique child and provide the guidance and support to help them reach their full potential.

This journey can feel heavy at times

You’re living in a world in which you may not have signed up for, and you may not feel qualified to participate. Even for families, who chose to walk the special needs parenting journey, it can be a very hard road at times.

As your child grows, you enter further and further into this new place that stretches you more and places heavier demands on you.

It’s hard to balance meeting the needs of additional children, a spouse or partner, and yourself.

If you resonate with any of this, I want to encourage you. I want you to know that you are seen and your hardships as well as your joys have incredible value.
