YOU are the most important healing factor in the life of your child. Parent heal thyself. YOU need to get out of a boiling pot of water in order to cool off. Otherwise, YOU boil to death. Without YOU, your child is lost.
I know it feels impossible to get a break. It simply isn’t impossible. It is hard. YOU can find the support YOU need if YOU truly put yourself on the front burner.
Do it. Your child needs YOU to do it.
I write this blog every day for parents of children with attachment challenges. This is usually adoptive children; however, many times people find themselves here who are seeking information about parenting children with special needs. YOU are welcome. This blog is referred to as Daily YOU Time–Wisdom for Adoptive Parents. I hope you can see what that means after reading a few posts. My goal is to support you in doing the most difficult job on Earth–parenting attachment challenged children.
