If you’re the parent of a neurodivergent or twice-exceptional (2E) child and you’re worried that your child isn’t excelling in a wide range of subjects at school, we say, “Don’t sweat it!” We understand. Every parent wants their child to be good at everything. However, we advise you to focus on what truly excites and motivates your child right now. By nurturing these interests, you can help them develop self-confidence and self-esteem.
This approach may pay off later when your child, in pursuit of their passion, needs to expand their skill set to achieve their goals. Forcing your child to engage in activities they dislike can often be counterproductive. If your child has gaps in their education, remember that everyone does. By allowing them to concentrate on their passions, they will naturally acquire the necessary skills when the time comes to advance their goals.
Your child might not follow the path you had envisioned, but by letting them play to their strengths now, both you and they may reap significant rewards in the future.

    Thank you. I forgot those stages. She is in so much discomfort and pain. And therefore I feel her heartbreak. I let her cry and drove her around for 3 hours listening to sad songs and cried with her. My husband wanted to handle it with realistic and life lesson conversations. I didn’t think she was ready for that. Thank you for helping us.

    This little child sounds like he's in crisis! I think there is still time to help him but his entire mental "operating system" and behaviors are getting locked in. I don't think they have time to mess around. If I were his parent, I'd make this my top priority!

    This is tough. 16 hear old teen with a very controlling 1 year relationship ending. All of those 5 stages of grief except the acceptance...but in less than a week. This has been hard! I see why some parents say no dating until they are 30. Seeing your daughter's heart breaking is awful! I feel so helpless for her.

    • @kenttoussaint584
      @kenttoussaint584 Před rokem

      I get it. However, imagine that for your daughter, this may be the biggest and most confusing time in her life. Perhaps you are on the right path in being more understanding, which may help her develop more trust in you and thus allow her to process this pain in a healthy way. Love (I am using that term broadly) can send anyone to extreme emotional highs and lows. When you are 13 years old, it can be quite overwhelming. Having a safe place where she can feel understood may help her get through this break up feeling more empowered than before, thus preparing her for her next dating relationships.

      It is always hard to watch our kids suffer, especially when we have gone through similar experiences. It can feel helpless watching our kids go through this. The important thing about this is to continue sharing empathy so she knows that she has you as the safe harbor to settle in when things get overwhelming.

    So what do you do when they live in a 600 sq. ft. condo and the yelling, screaming and steady stream of foul language is relentless for hours daily? There is zero peace for the mother. She can’t hear herself think. To say this is harmless gaming culture is ridiculous. It’s like living inside a missile range. How do they deal with the incessant volume and profanity? I think there needs to be a headset that makes the wearer be aware of the “outside” volume of their activities. The obliviousness is 100 percent inconsiderate and selfish. The kid is only 13. 😭

    I disagree with everything you said. You said if you tell your kids 50 times MAYBE they'll learn, but spanking the won't teach them any faster.... 🤦‍♂️ If I tell my son not to run into the street where a car can run him over "kindly" 50x he might lose his life before we reach 10x. If he steals from the candy jar do I have to tell him "kindly" 50x also? How about I spank them 3x and I guarantee they'll never do it again. Have fun experimenting and ruining your kids with thoughts and feelings, ill raise mine the right way.

    From the title, I thought you are that type of parent that are toxic, but a couple seconds in I felt sorry for you and your son.

    It’s so true that it’s important to meet the child where they are at. Most kids would love to see their parents at least attempt to play video games with them. Even if the parent is terrible, it’s the effort that counts.
