I absolutely love how encouraging Nicolas’s aunties are!!
Nic gets baked goods and fishing stuff for major milestones.. and he loves it!
He kept looking back to make sure I was looking.
After his induction into his new Colt ( Cult) he asked me if I showed this to the squad?!
I love how encouraging his teachers are, Nic will not put his best effort forward. Once he “pretended” he could read on grade level so he could “easy” .
Didn’t want to join NJHS because they aren’t his “crowd” . I encouraged him to give them a chance.
I’m a freaking honor student parent 💕☺️
There is in fact light at the end of the tunnel and this time it’s not a train 😮💨
What happens to your brain during a DMDD episode.. I’m not a medical expert just an advocating parent. #DMDDMom #RowdyFam #DMDDawareness #taketime #vs #judging
As much as I strive to be strong and resilient, there are moments when I could really use a listening ear, a shoulder to lean on, or just some practical advice from those who understand. Whether it’s navigating IEP meetings, managing sensory meltdowns, or simply finding moments of self-care amidst the chaos, your support means the world to me. 🌈If you’re a fellow special needs parent, caregiver, or ally, I invite you to share your experiences, tips, and words of encouragement. Let’s lift each other up and show that no one is alone on this journey. Together, we’re stronger. 💪💕 #SpecialNeedsParenting #CommunitySupport #YouAreNotAlone

Special need parents are human too💋
Working full time with the correct support can be possible!! We came up with all the plans, got all our peps on speed dial.. Last year was hell. And thankful I had the opportunity to get my child stable and “out” of trouble while maintaining a job, and family
When it comes to children with DMDD, it's generally recommended to focus on therapeutic approaches, such as behavioral interventions and counseling, rather than punitive measures. Punishment may not be effective and can potentially worsen the emotional and behavioral issues associated with DMDD.
When parenting a child with a need that makes it’s difficult for certain foods to be eaten such as a texture, an allergy, whatever the case maybe, just allowing our kids to starve isn’t the answer, it’s not about letting your child “run” you. Not a hill I’m going to die on! So before you just tell a parent to let their child starve because the food just isn’t “right” isn’t your place!
As special needs parents I’ve received so much unnecessary parenting advice🤣 . Tips that I would never put in place in my own home. What was a tip or advice that actually helped you?

Parenting is a unique journey that often involves learning as you go and adapting to each situation. It's okay to seek advice and support from others along the way. #dowhatsbestforyou #yourfamilyyourrules #nooneisperfect #parentingjourney #onedayatatime #RowdyFamily #blendedfamilies #parentingteam #bepresent #takeyourtime #Noneedtocompete
When raising a child with special needs it requires careful consideration of advice. Some advice might be helpful, but it's crucial to filter and prioritize based on the child's specific needs. Sharing that reminder on social media could promote better understanding and support for families in similar situations. #ThoughtfulAdvice #SpecialNeedsCare #followusonfacebook #RowdyFamily #parentinghacks #disabilityawareness #advocatelikeparents #advocacy #DMDD #ODD #ADHD #learningdisabilities #Rowdymama #RowdyDad #inthisfamilynoonefightsalone #parentingtips #inclusion #parenting #odd #oppositionaldefiantdisorder #advocacy #adhdmom #adhddad #peacefulparenting #positiveparentingsolutions #consciousparenting #understanding #parentingstruggles #acceptance #parentinglife #disruptivemooddysregulationdisorder #adhdparenting #trauma #gentleparenting #mindfulparenting #positiveparentingmemes #gentleparent #mothering #positiveparentingtips #kidsbehavior
