My parents had four children, and while none of us has special needs either, I think the sheer number and the fact that we were all individuals growing in this world is a special need of its own. I agree that I didn't think parenting would be different for each child, but it is. For me, I find that even the same diagnoses is exhibites with different characteristics between my kids. <br /><br />After all, we are all individuals.<br /><br />On a certain level, it is fascinating.<br /><br />On a sleep deprived level, it is frustrating. :)Amy McMunn https://www.blogger.com/profile/04777029840258598019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4045303808923827751.post-71128415345937431992012-04-01T20:27:50.590-04:002012-04-01T20:27:50.590-04:00You are such a trooper, and I remember those all n...You are such a trooper, and I remember those all nighters before my kids learned to sleep all night.

And as stressful as it might be, I'm sure the ultimate joy of raising your kids sustains you.<br /><br />We have six children, and while none of them are "special needs," they are each very different, and present their own challenges. No-one told us that we would have to re-learn parenting for each child, but that's how it feels. Thankfully they all seem to be turning out okay. Though I often feel my wife and I are the ones benefiting the most from the experience. :)Colin Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03292997431935215499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4045303808923827751.post-70953982021379608092012-04-01T18:08:23.798-04:002012-04-01T18:08:23.798-04:00He was eating that paper.
