Enjoy the Good Times

We as parents who deal on a daily basis of emotional and behavioral issues need to remind ourselves to celebrate the achievement and the good days
I know we can get caught up in all the emotions and tiredness on a daily basis-
I have I know and it wears you thin
So take those days and some days are few and far between that are exceptionally good days and celebrate them - celebrate with your child the 90/100 day for the first time ever celebrate that they did the work they were asked to do with no issues - that means whatever you are doing success is happening

You can make it and the more you celebrate the more you will realize it

This is a great Magazine

I get this magazine in my email in box several times a month- it is great and has so many insightful helps- I know it is geared towards ADHD and yet it is so helpful for other emotional and behavioral issues that may arise-

Enjoy reading and get those helps in place Additude

Show them love

I know at times it may be difficult to show love and caring to the children we have in our lives- in fact sometimes you do not know how to show them love cause they often refuse it-

They need our love they need our comfort they need to know you are there no matter what-

Be consistent with showing them how much you care how much you love-

Before you leave for the day love on them -hug them and tell them you love them- do this every morning and every evening-

No matter how difficult the day was tell them you love them before they go to sleep give them those all important hugs even when you do not feel like it- it will affect them it will change them

Communication

For a child to be successful communication is key- between teachers, therapist and each other if you are married-

I have a great relationship with my son's teachers, therapist, and behavior specialist- I am either emailing - calling- or talking in person with one or all 3 of them at one time or another through the week. If you are not talking with them they can not help you- and believe it or not they want your child to be successful in whatever they do- they believe in your child.

I am truly blessed by the educators and therapists in my son's life- I am forever asking them for help and working with them to help him be successful.

Have a good relationship with them- they will go above and beyond what you expect them to do.

Communicate anything regarding your child's behavior good or bad to those in their life will be life saving- and talk about having a support group - my goodness.

(Build Bridges not Walls)

So get involved and stay involved no matter how hard it is-really they are there to help you -stand up for your child and work with those involved in their life.

This will not only impact your child's life but you as a parent will be impacted.
