Try This Tuesday

This week’s topic for Try This Tuesday is Helping A “New” Special Needs Parent.

What would you say to someone who has just learned that their child has special needs? What do you wish someone had said to you?

If you have any thoughts to share on this topic, please leave your comment either here or on the official post. Or if you want to write a post that addresses this topic (or already have one in your archives), add your link to the Mr. Linky at 5 Minutes for Special Needs.

On a side note, I realized that at some point I stopped posting a link to Try This Tuesday here lately, so here are the ones you may have missed:

Disciplining Your Child (March 17th)
Teaching the Value of Money (March 10th)
Communicating with Non-verbal Children (March 3rd)
What Should I Try? (February 24th)
Birthday Parties (February 17th)
Teaching the Why and How of Hygiene (February 10th)

I am always brainstorming for new topics to use for this column and would love to hear any and all of your suggestions. (I’m begging here – a girl can only think of so many ideas all on her own!!) So shoot them at me, either here or by my contact form. I greatly appreciate the help. :)

  • Thank you so much; I have tears in my eyes reading your comment, Lisa. The last few years have definitely done more to make me stronger and more courageous than any other experience in my life, and for that I am grateful.
  • Oh, what a perfect topic! I would tell them about my incredible friend Trish. I would tell them about Trish's strength and the courage she has to overcome obstacles to do whatever is necessary to help Michael. I would tell them to reach out, find whatever resources are available and never give up. I would tell them to lean on their friends. And finally, I would tell them that the sun does come out tomorrow. It may not be the day you planned, but it will be beautiful in it's own way.
