Have a Low Stress Thanksgiving

   I am sorry I am late posting today.  I was busy like many of you getting ready for guests and the holiday.  for those of you trying to juggle the festivities while worrying about the needs of your special  child I have one small piece of advice.  Enjoy! Enjoy your child, your family and your holiday.  Do not stress over spills and messes.  Do no stress over what the family will think or the impression your child needs to make.  This is not a time for your child to prove how much they have grown or for family and friends to be judging you and your child.  If they are, let them and know they are not living in your shoes.  Listen and smile then toss their uninformed, inexperienced, ignorant advice into the recycling bin and walk away knowing that you are the bigger person. Enjoy watching your child bask in the attention showered on them and see the love that surrounds you.

I wish you and your family a happy Thanksgiving.
