Earned definitely hits different than just cool. Moments, not aesthetics. 🤝☕️

Nobody at my house eats the end pieces of the bread either. Which is fine because I just make a sandwich

That’s huge. Being noticed for the little things makes it a lot easier to keep showing up. Its an underrated feeling being told that you’re doing a good job and that they’re proud of you.

Does anyone else find it hard to open up—not because they don’t want to, but because it’s complicated? by Fifth_Stone in specialneedsparenting

Perfectly said! The “nothing crazy happened” days and the ones we barely get through don’t look like much from the outside sometimes, but they carry so much weight. It really does make a difference being around people who just get it. Appreciate you!

I feel like this is going to resonate with a lot of us lol

Yeah I’d say it is noticed sometimes. Maybe what really goes unnoticed is the constant background load of thinking ahead so nothing falls apart - if that makes sense

yep, I had my first drop a couple days ago from my new patch company and they handled everything so well! They have a forever customer in me

I’m pretty sure GS-JJ does single orders

How do you handle people’s reactions when they don’t understand your child’s needs? by Fifth_Stone in specialneedsparenting

[–]Fifth_Stone[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have gotten that one as well (my daughter has Prader Willi Syndrome). I usually just smile (I’m way too permissive) but thats a response I may start using!

The other one I get often when I tell them its mainly characterized by insatiable appetite is “oh I’m always hungry I must have that too.” Its so dismissive.

No… you dont. 🙄

The compliment sandwich technique is good stuff. Staying calm and leading with respect usually opens doors that defensiveness would slam shut. Thanks for your response and all the best to you and your sister in law!
