He needs to take his medications.
He needs his family.
He needs understanding.
sometimes he needs me to give him some extra space.
sometimes he needs me to hold him close.
some days he needs me to listen to every detail he knows about his favorite subject.
some days he needs me to teach him how to listen.
sometimes he needs to give hugs and be sweet and loving
and sometimes he needs me to practice my patience
some days he needs his favorite foods
some days he needs me to teach him to try new things
some days he needs to play with his brothers
some days he needs his brothers to let him be alone
some days he needs to color the entire driveway with chalk
some days he needs to rip paper
some days he needs to wrap up in blankets
some days he needs to scream
some days he needs to give in to his impulse controls and touch (and break) everything
sometimes he needs to stand in one place and rock his body back and forth
sometimes he needs to bounce his head on the couch
sometimes he needs to repeat everything
sometimes he needs to ask a million questions
sometimes he needs to read books
sometimes he needs to do play-dough for hours
some days he needs help but I don't know what to do
My son's special needs make him different and special.
