Today was another hard day. You woke up, went through your routine and tried to keep things as normal as you can, but your child had another meltdown. You are dedicated to your child but sometimes you don’t know how to respond when they act out. You feel alone, like no one understands you or what your child is going through. Your child has developmental delays and tantrums often when they are upset. While it can be embarrassing in public because you don’t know how to respond, sometimes it seems like nothing will calm them down. Just when things seem calm, they blow up again. You feel as though your child’s behavior is creating barriers in your life and increasing family stress.
You Need Support Too
Your child already has so many therapies that they have to be a part of, but what about you? You are the one who is longing for direction, wishing you had support in how to respond to and help your child. You don’t want to yell anymore, and you don’t want to be walking on eggshells either.
