Parenting children with severe behaviors is not a simple…
““Parenting children with severe behaviors is not a simple job, yet it is a responsibility charged to us by God. It is a call to directly face our own fears, worries, and frustrations. Anytime those around us view our parenting struggles in a negative light, we are faced with the fear that perhaps we are not living up to the job bestowed upon us. Anytime we begin to feel as if we are ineffective parents, we are confronted with the fear of failing this calling. And anytime we see that we cannot help our children make better choices and begin fearing for our children’s futures as teenagers or adults, we again slip into a place of fear. This only sends us spiraling downward into our own internal negative feedback loop.””
