Children
a one of the greatest gifts in life also require a tremendous amount of work.
If your gifts comes in in a package with special needs, then the path can be
even more difficult, yet more rewarding all at the same time. Parenting
requires a
delicate balance of patience, support, love and discipline, no matter who the
child is. Those parents with a
special needs child sometimes face a more difficult challenge. There is so much guilt associated
with parenting and especially with a special needs child. When you are told
that your child has any disability, or handicap it is easy to fall into the trap of feeling guilty.
There is an important
factor to consider however. A different
perception of the special needs child is important when beginning
to evaluate your parenting style. Many special needs children become spoiled. This is not meant to offend
any parents or child, because it is said with all the love in the heart of any
parent. Parents don't mean to spoil their children, but those with special
needs appear to be so helpless and disadvantaged, it is easy to make this
mistake. it is true of anyone involved with the care of the special needs children,
including their teachers, caregivers and medical professionals.
Each child is an individual. It is very important that you do not group
your child into a specific category based on their diagnosis and on medical
statistics. It is important not to give up on your child because of some
standard limits or expectancy rates. Every child holds within themselves
unlimited power. Expect good behavior, success and positive results from your
child and give them every opportunity to achieve everything the world offers
them. It is hard to do, but refrain from comparing your child to others. Allow
them to be unique and display
individualism. Let them experience their own unlimited power that they
possess as an individual.
Encouragement is
important for every child's success and well being. Let them reach for the stars and never give
up. Hope is the major backbone for success. Expect success, and no no
limits, and you will see the best results. Children bring about the greatest
joy and the greatest challenges in life. Parenting requires a careful balance of love, patience and
discipline.
