My youngest son is going to have academic testing this week and I've been filling out paperwork that describes what my son can and can't do. These assessments can be time consuming as well as depressing. Since my little boy first regressed, I have cringed any time I have had to fill out anything in regards to my son's abilities, disabilities, and age-appropriate skills. These bring all of the things that are difficult for my son to do to the forefront in my mind as he is compared to his peers according to age. I have to remind myself at these time of where we started and how far he's come, even if it has just been a progression of "baby steps."
There are many things that my son still can't do but the list of things he can do is growing daily. He can put on most of his clothes by himself and he is potty training. He can put on his sandals by himself even though he would rather I do it. He can read six sight words and orally count to twenty. These are huge milestones for him!
I encourage you to focus on the positive today. It isn't always easy to do this but it is healthier. Have a wonderful day!
