Many parents are stressed and uneasy while dealing with impairments or mental health problems. The idea that parents should naturally be able to control every facet of their children's development has to be challenged. Let's instead explore the need of assembling a cooperative educational team to offer each child.
When I think back on my own parenting experience, I can still clearly remember the overwhelming sense of duty and anxiety. My first kid was born eight weeks early, required specialist care. I felt exhausted and guilty as I sat in the hospital, frantically calling for breast pumps and support services.
I kept asking myself:
Was I to blame?
Was there anything I could have done differently?
Even well-meaning relatives raised doubts about my previous behavior. I wish I could have told myself then that asking for help!
