Some of us get the news out of the blue from a teacher, doctor or other caring person that maybe something isn't quite as it "should" be with our child. Some of us slowly come to this understanding ourselves because our child isn't thriving or doesn't seem like the other children somehow.
If you've found yourself wondering what's going on with your child, the prospect of them be "labelled" or even just exploring their strengths and challenges can leave you feeling vulnerable. Sometimes we even experience some niggling signs that we're grieving the child we thought we had, whilst really wanting to keep a positive outlook about the child we really have.
It can take time to settle into acceptance and curiosity about our child's differences and to help them find that really authentic self-awareness where confidence can flourish.
