I’m kind of worried about Sarah having Sensory issues. I went through a whole host of bad feelings the last few days … what am I doing to make my kids have problems with touch???? But, as we know, that’s a no-good line of thinking.

Sarah is really small like Chloe. Small but mighty.

I am with you here. My two kids both have had several (of the same) issues including speech delays and I keep thinking the same thing. What did I do? It doesn’t help that people make comments to that effect without thinking.

We are in early intervention and I do feel like it has been a huge help to our family. And I think deep down I know it is not really my fault.

Please don’t feel guilty…you are the best Mom! You know how to advocate for your children and give them the support they need.

My 19 year old is dyslexic and reading and spelling are still extremely difficult for her. She continues to have 504 accommodations in college. Her young life was full of story times, music, enriching experiences and love. As much as I wish she wasn’t LD, I know it isn’t anyone’s fault. She’s a wonderful young woman with an engaging personality, a 3.5 GPA, working in retail at a high end store, and has set goals for her future.

Your little girl will thrive too, with you as her Mom!
