There are no hard fast how to manuals or rules to parenting. People generally just learn as they go. Most things are just second nature, like feeding, clothing and generally caring for a child. However, as a child grows and other children are born, parenting becomes more then simply handling the child's everyday needs.<br />Edward foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18267905378325518780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5349668044326313600.post-4809034246278832652019-02-06T08:35:42.497-08:002019-02-06T08:35:42.497-08:00Thank you for your blog.Really thank you!

I think over the years our utility belts become better stocked as we become more skilled, adding what we've gleaned from one therapist to what we've learned from another. It's so hard to imagine what life would have been like in the past for children - for us. I agree also that I feel less like batman and more like a mountain climber most days, but then maybe even batman felt that way when the joker kept turning up!

I don't feel like a super hero or even an every day hero. I am just doing my job as I see it.

It was an angle they used to get people to click, but as you say, it didn't really mean that better parents reduce autsim struggles. It was just about research that had developed strategies to really help engage with autistic children. It wasn't meant to be a reflection on parents' abilities at all. I am always happy to learn new ways to help Biggest communicate. It's a learning curve we all go through, every day - it's just that in this instance it was scientifically measured and collated to actually help people on the same journey. #SpectrumSundaySomeone's Mum (Danielle)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07601459041389161941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5349668044326313600.post-69528719334454843332016-11-25T03:31:47.655-08:002016-11-25T03:31:47.655-08:00Wow I can't believe mothers were blamed back t...Wow I can't believe mothers were blamed back then - it sounds insane and thank goodness we have moved with the times.

I think super parent is the perfect word as I can imagine how much work you & others have put in! One of my kiddies needed speech since he was 2 & lots of work at home to go along with it. But that extra effort from the parents does make a huge difference!
