A parent shares with our group: Thought this was very appropriate & that others might be able to relate. We certainly can. “No Fixing, Please.” I see it in their eyes. I hear it in their voices. They cannot disguise Their doubt. Sensory Processing Disorder? What’s that? The new ADD? Hmm… perhaps not. Perhaps it’s just you. Your inadequate parenting. You desire for an excuse. There is nothing wrong with that child That some good discipline could not fix. Then, the others. They project relief Self-satisfaction Or some combination of both: Ah, there is something there. We were right. We knew something was going on. It’s got a name now. So, how do we fix it? Fix it? Fix it! He is not a broken piece equipment. He is not busted toy. He is a boy. My boy. A boy loved by many. Understood by few. Confounding Yet complete No-matter-what-the-label-is-that-is-applied-to-him. LOOK. AT. HIM. Not “IT.” He is an individual Who needs love. Strategies. Not your judgments. Not your pity. Not reaction. He needs action. What action? How about EMBRACING for a start? By Martianne Stanger
