Give yourself AND your child a little grace.

[Grandma01]

I just wanted to share a piece of a newsletter from a therapist at a local mental health facility. This is for those patents that struggle with the why me why my child the ones that think they can't continue to parent a child with ADHD or other developmental challenges.

Give yourself AND your child a little grace.

Just as in any relationship, we are going to make mistakes. Remember that both you AND your child are going to make mistakes. And that is OKAY. It is part of being human. Remember that you are doing your best. And your child is doing their best. When you go into difficult situations, remembering that your child is a good person who made a mistake (and not just a terrible child) will go a long way. Also, remembering that same sentiment for yourself. Always give yourself and your child the benefit of the doubt and assume the best.
