So here we are right at the end of the loooong 6 week torture fest I mean school holidays and it has me wondering is it a well earned rest of just too long? Don’t get me wrong the teachers and others definitely deserve the break and I’m not suggesting we shorten it or anythingContinue reading “Summer school holidays-Well earned break or just too long?”

Never look back unless it’s to see how far you’ve come.
As I see social media flooded with comparison photos of their kids starting the start of the school year and last day of the school year today I can’t help but feel on the outter (as most parents of special needs kids do quite often I would think) Some parents are probably reflecting on theContinue reading “Never look back unless it’s to see how far you’ve come.”
