What our dog did for our family
It's coming up to my birthday next week. I'll be one year short of 40 years old in a few days. It's fair to say I've not looked forward to my birthday for the last few years. It's nothing to do with being nearly four decades old though. A few years ago, on my birthday, our dog suddenly became sick. I took him to the vet that night, and a few days later, he died.

Helping our ADHD son focus on his homework
It may be the Easter break but that doesn't mean learning stops. There's all the everyday learning when you go to the park and do activities at home of course. And then there's also homework that's got to be done too.

Sometimes things are too much, or too beautiful for my autistic son
Our kids find the holidays quite difficult. Anthony in particular struggles and says "I don't know what I can do.." quite a lot. It's not for most kids who get bored, it's because he struggles to focus and make decisions. It's part of having autism and ADHD.
