I've been spending my time worrying so much about my ds that I think maybe I've created a lot of it in my own mind. Everytime I talk to someone who knows ds, I get this look that says: I don't see anything like that in your ds...even my own dh thinks that I'm stretching things a bit.
My ds is an only child who's homeschooled so I worry about his anxieties and I analyze every single word he says. I tear it to bits, actually! My ds has had some extreme anxieties through the year including separation issues but they are situational and do not interfere with his everyday life. My mom thinks he'll grow out of it and I have 2 friends IRL who think he's a great kid and that I should hold off on any therapy or counseling. My ds is polite, liked by just about everyone, will play with anyone(whether they're 13 or 5), likes sports and tries new sports when given the opportunity, he helps around the house without complaining....and I sit here and worry that he's doomed!!!
I guess sometimes we all need someone to tell us that our kids are going to grow up someday and hopefully they will thank us for trying our best, even if we make mistakes!
Every time it takes ds more than 15-20 mins to do his math worksheets I worry that he's ADD. Everytime he makes a reading mistake I worry that he's dyslexic. I guess b/c my dh was ADHD and dyslexic and had learning difficulties in school, I keep thinking my ds has inherited those tendencies....
Ok: I'm done ranting! Anyone else feel overwhelmed with your own worries and you just forget to breathe and look at the big picture, etc? Or am I the only one?!
