All About Your Child

More than a month ago, I mentioned about a workshop which my boys attended. The results achieved after the 2 days workshop made my parenting life so much easier. See blog post “Your Child Needs This”

Ever since that blog post went live, I received emails of all sorts, but one question came up quite often: “Is This For Special Needs Children too?”

My answer is “Yes and No”.

No, I am not trying to be cheeky. *laugh* Let me explain.

If your child has:

1. ADHD
2. ADD
3. ASD
4. DCD
5. SID
6. Dyslexia
7. Seizure
8. Global Delayed
9. Learning Disability
10. Speech/Visual/Hearing impaired

do let me know.

I would arrange for a private meeting for you and your child with the Chief Trainer. I understand that many parents with special needs children have their personal concerns and would prefer to have a one-to-one session than join the crowd in the Preview.

After the one-to-one session with the Chief Trainer, she will be able to assess your child and let you know if your child is suitable for the workshop. The Chief Trainer is someone with a Big Heart and has many years of experience with special needs children.

So you can rest assure that she knows what she is doing. You will be there with your child during the one-to-one session, so you can ask all the questions you want. *smile*

Which is why my answer to that question is “Yes and No”. “Yes” your child with special needs can join the workshop when the Chief Trainer says “Yes”; and “No” when the Chief Trainer thinks otherwise after the assessment.

I thought it would be good to do a proper post to address this question which kept popping up after “Your Child Needs This” blog post was posted.

With that said, I came across this video of an Autistic teenager, Carly Fleischmann, and sincerely hope in my heart that one day, all parents with Autistic kids would be able to truly understand the world that their child is in.

Now that her book ‘Carly’s Voice‘ is published, I think it will help many parents with Autistic kids.

Meet Carly….

No matter how fierce the arguments were
No matter how often shouting occurs
Afterall the two of you are still Mother and Son

My tough-as-steel MIL cried when her eldest son went for a two-week training in Paris.
As he walked through the departure gate,
she held back her tears when she waved goodbye.
But her eye-bags could hold the overwhelming liquid no more,
when her first born disappeared from sight.

Even after a day has passed, tears still flow like a faulty tap, as she related the details of her sad day to her youngest son .

Being a parent for over 40years,
nothing has changed.
Her 60+ year old heart still misses her first child when he is far away.
Her tireless mind still worries if he has enough food to eat, clothes to wear and time to sleep.

Even though her eldest child is already a parent to three kids, he remains as a kid….to her.
So dear to her…

…….

Two weeks passed
He came home safely
She did not hug him, nor say “I missed you”
All she did was cook up a storm
A kitchen filled with fragrance
Complete with food her son loved

Its her way to show how much she missed him
Its her way to show how much she loved him
Its her way to show him A Mother’s Heart…
