I thought this was an awesome article. I felt so sorry for Hailey doing all those therapies at once.

There is this incredible paradox/balance between holding the vision of unlimited potential simultaneously to the limitations that exist our children. I, myself, have been looking at the balance between wanting to “fix” my son and just loving and accepting him as he is.

I just found a wonderful book called, “Writing to Heal the Soul” by Sandra Zimmerman. If you have a child who is different from the mainstream in any way, you may appreciate her journey into acceptance. It doesn’t mean you won’t try different therapies. I’m just seeing that as a parent, when we heal ourselves from the loss of our expectations, it allows our child a greater opportunity to heal too.

May the blessings be, Caran
