First and foremost, let me get something out of the way - PARENTING TRAUMATIZED CHILDREN IS PROBABLY ONE OF THE MOST DIFFICULT THINGS ANY HUMAN CAN BE REQUIRED TO DO - EVER. It is hard. It is hard. It is hard, and every single day you will discover that it is quite HARD! Okay, having said all of that, let me ...2 days ago -

Taz has been wired the last few weeks. He is angry, defiant and somewhere just above wild. He is keeping his grades up to As and Bs at school which I love, but is getting detentions, smarting off to teachers and me, and spending time alone in his room. Spending time in your room as a "healthy teen" (there really ...4 days ago -

The last two weeks have been SO yingy and yangy in our house ... ebby and flowy ... the goody and the baddy. We downplay Christmas as it is, but with children who are attaching, even more so. Usually special occasions/events/holidays are a time when we just buckle down and ride the hurricane. Then, on the other ...5 days ago -

I would hear that when my girls were little. When our boys came Id hear it sometimes but also got the eye rolls, the glares and the looks of shock when we were out and about. When pushing the cart through the grocery store, Taz then 3, would roll off a string of words that would make a sailor blush. When at the play ...5 days ago -

What Healing Looked Like

I can only tell you what the beginnings of healing looked like in our boys. They both have a long way to go. Small stressors in life are triggers that send them back into the fearful behaviors. I love the above photo. It reminds me of how beautiful my children are. They live in the cold world of fear. They are ...1 week ago -

The above picture is one Teddy drew 2 or 3 years ago. It shows the need to protect. When I first started seeing this type of artwork and finding small home made sharpened weapons I was really afraid. After talking extensively in therapy we really felt it was not for aggression. It was for defense. He always ...1 week ago -

This video is probably going to be many things to many people. There are a few parents who will literally breathe a sigh of relief to know its not just their kids. Sometimes, the way our children hold on to an obvious lie can cause us to really think that maybe WE are going crazy. This is actually just one tiny ...1 week ago -

In our rural neck of the woods, we’re pretty fortunate in terms of autism diagnosis and treatment options, first because of the medical card loophole which means that wraparound services, among others, are covered by the state, and second because most communities have autism-trained wrap programs. Up until now, ...1 week ago -

Every morning is a fresh start. Isnt that FANTASTIC!?! I work hard to restart my attitude, take time for a quiet time and rejoice that we get to try this again. I tell my kids "Its a new day. Lets start over and make it great". Sometimes they do. Sometimes they dont. We have 18" of snow in Nebraska. It is something ...1 week ago -

Just as an example at how far Rocky has come with his healing: today he was to do things for me all day (its our way of putting kindness back where you heaped hurt). He did every. single. thing. correctly and quickly the first time. THEN, he would find me and ask, "Mom, do you have something else for me to do?" He ...1 week ago -

Some days God provides ways for my boys to burn off the energy. This is GREAT. Not only does it help out the family but I can greet them with a cup of hot chocolate with marshmallows.

I blew it this morning. Or blew up. Whatever you want to call it. Taz was in his usual wild flying high morning mode. Teddy kept putting himself in front of him. I finally lost it and turned into a raving lunatic. This resulted in complete silence on Tazs part and complete anger and RAD feelings on Teddys part. ...2 weeks ago -

I was thinking about Peggy Sues comment yesterday about not having any decorations up and her kids still reacting to Christmas. Where does all the fear come from? Here are my guesses. 1. Old memories of Christmas past, some bad, are stirred up. 2. The kids at school are wired. I think my kids feed off of that ...2 weeks ago
