It's ridiculous.
You have to accept that your kid is gonna struggle and you have to accept that what you have to offer your kid is your best and that's it.
And you're it's okay for your kid to have pain, it's okay for them to have sadness, it's okay for them to have disappointment, it's okay for them to have frustration.
I like what you you said about the fact that you're appreciating the fact that your son's emotional range is getting broader.
I think being the wise parent that you are, I think one of the skills that I'm sure you're applying is just to validate their feelings.
When a kid is sad, it's okay for you to say, boy, I really get that you're sad, and it makes sense to me that you would be sad because you weren't invited to the party, or your friends are all texting and you didn't get into that group text, or you didn't get the part in the play, or you're
have to go to this um special class and it makes you feel different.
I can understand that that is hurtful or f or or difficult for you.
And and just to validate and make a kid feel seen and known and make 'em know that their feelings are okay.
That's how they develop self esteem, is that they know that who they are and what they feel is legitimate.
yes, indeed.
Well with within those labels, within those diagnoses is a lot of individuality.
So I don't know if I could give you a broad statement, but I think the the message I would uh I would want to leave parents with is help your child or teen develop self-advocacy skills.
I think that is the ticket of success.
When they realize, when they take responsibility for getting the help and support they need on their terms.
And as a young adolescent, they're not
gonna be able to do that.
They're not gonna be able to do that at twelve, thirteen.
uh or even fourteen.
They can start to do it perhaps at fifteen and they can take full control of it around sixteen, which is the b kind of the beginning of their entry into their young adult years.
