The daily struggle of choosing which battles to fight and what to ignore has become a war that I think the adults are losing. My little has been diagnosed with an unspecified impulse control disorder (mostly because he was too young for an ADHD diagnosis) and it presents some interesting difficulties. The tantrums and meltdowns typical of three year olds are taken a step further for us. It is common at our house to have broken toys, high pitched shrieking, objects flying, and bruises and bite marks on the adults. At times we have to give in for our own mental health because the fight is too much. We are not perfect parents - no one is - but we try our hardest.
He is getting ready to be re-evaluated to get that ADHD diagnosis on board so we can get supports in place to give him his best life. In the meantime homeschool is getting ready to be in session! He would typically start preschool in the fall based on his age, but he is showing that he is ready to go so we will be starting soon. As we get going I will be sharing examples of projects that we do and a basic plan that I am following.
Stay tuned…
