I forget where I read this--maybe in Ean mom's post? Sometimes parental intervention may not be effective because the parent tends to get depressed. I have been taking my kids (mostly my daughter) to her various classes for two months now. I've spent some of the most depressing time of my life waiting for her (sometimes with her) outside classrooms in various agencies, watching her grappling with the teachers' instructions and struggling with pronunciations. Luckily she is by nature a very sweet and compliant child. I have not had to witness her cry, scream or try to run away. I'm not sure whether I could have handled any of that.
I went through the "why me, why my child" stage every parent here went through. Now I'm sad from time to time, because what lies ahead for my children is still largely uncertain. At the same time, I'm also deeply grateful that their conditions are not severe. They are both alert and fully aware of what's going on around them. They are both very attached to their parents and they feel our love. Things could have been a thousand times worse. The upside of all of this is I have never felt so strongly about my love for my children. |
