Special Needs Children
Let’s face it. Some children are easier to raise than others. Some make us more anxious parents than others. This post is for those of you who don’t have to be told that.
So, you know that when I talk about anxiety in parenting, it’s not just a pretend, sort of theoretical anxiety, right? It’s pretty much real, tangible, anxiety – like we’re not kidding around any more. Isn’t it? Sometimes it’s a “Bad things do really happen” type of anxiety. Or a “Bad things really have happened” type of anxiety.
It’s anxiety that’s connected to some unique history or characteristic of our child. We know that life is not going to be the same for them as for other children. We know that we have been asked to carry a burden that is different from that of many around us. So what about THAT type of anxiety?
