Strength comes from adversity. You would probably like "Children: The Challenge" by Rudolph Dreikurs and the chapter "Don't Feel Sorry." It's my favorite parenting book. It starts by saying "Pity is damaging, even when justifiable and understandable," then goes on to give some great practical examples. We just listened to "The Secret Garden" on audio and loved that too. Bravo, Kate! You are doing an amazing job.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-119495909646800253.post-73828482734998931922011-02-11T10:35:16.163-08:002011-02-11T10:35:16.163-08:00What a beautiful post, Kate!

It's so true that just because your daughter's needs are different doesn't mean your life isn't good. I love that your focus is on being happy with your family and your life - and on helping your daughter become strong and self-sufficient. Well done! <br />Deb @ LivingMontessoriNow.comDeb Chitwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16665549481411417908noreply@blogger.com
