Happy National Napping Day!
It is raining over here in the PNW, and we are experiencing lots of it and trying to recover from springing forward this past weekend. Do you all have Daylight Saving time where you are at too? It takes a minute to get acclimated to that loss of an hour, but we are adjusting. Well, it is that time of year again when school districts ask the parents about HIV/STDs and the "Birds and the Bees" classes.
It has happened every year since Elementary school, which we both felt was just too soon, but now that our 16-year-old is nearing his 12th grade year, we felt that it is time. I know that every parent is not created equal and we all parent differently but at the end of the day, I would rather discuss these touchy subjects with me present, then for our autistic-curious, needs-to-know-everything-now-teen, ask a stranger, the internet or random person😟. This way I can break it down and chunk it up, so that there is a clear understanding of what NOT to do in certain situations and how to handle certain situations as well in the company of different genders. Wow that was a mouthful, LOL!
At the end of the day, do what is best for you and your child, especially if they are special needs. They don't stay 5 years old forever and do eventually leave the nest, so prepare them for what is going to come(inevitably). Better late than never, right?
On that note, have a fantastic rest of your day/week and keep advocating for your special needs son or daughter.
