Although it is common for moms to feel the need to be perfect every day, we would not be very good role models if we did not make a few mistakes. Aiming for excellence rather than perfection, and figuring out how to do slightly better when we have drastically missed that mark, seems to work out best for showing our children how to come back from what feel like catastrophic events.
Finding opportunities and support helps us focus on what really matters. We treasure friends, mentors and guides, wherever they are found. Sometimes the information or support we need is hiding just around a corner on the internet.
Most days (or in the middle of the night) we can find just the common sense, experience, and expertise that make all the difference in the world to our family, for those who seek us out for help, or a child who is struggling. Sometimes we just need help to forgive ourselves for not being perfect every day; other times we need a new definition for the word, ´adequate´.
Everyone is welcome here. The Special Needs Children website aims to be a resource for friends, neighbors, extended family, medical or education professionals, and advocates who seek and share accurate, helpful information.
Together, we can create a community that values and celebrates each child, and every stage of development. They amaze us with what they can do given the opportunities we create for them. Let´s show them how to enjoy some fun, friendship and laughter along the way.
