My First Post

Anyone can give up, it's the easiest thing in the world to do. But to hold it together when everyone else would understand if you fell apart, that's true strength. I have learned that  if you want your child to improve let them overhear the nice things you say about them to others. 
   Its good to always praise your child for the good things they have done and the things that they have accomplished. Raising a child with a disability the best advise I was given by specialist was to over praise your child. I took that advise and I recommend it for any parent who raises a child with a disability. I praise my daughter for every little thing she does even the smallest things like picking up one toy when asked, and every time she says thank you and please. I overly praise her every single time with hugs and kisses.Through out the day I call her over and give her a hug and tell her how much I love her and how smart she is. It works, Every day seems to get better and to see that smile is rewarding enough and worth going threw the tough challenges every single day.
