I agree that parenting and stress management can be complicated and certainly takes more than just a few ABCs. However, just as Amy (Shaping Youth) and you say here, we have to master some of these basics in order to deal with some of the crazier things life throws at us-- and this list certainly hits on some whoppers we all need to remember, don't you think? I received some beautiful responses from parents who read this article and posted it up in their homes to remind them to take a few moments for themselves, breath, and remember, this too shall pass. Here is one of my favorite responses: --------------------------------------------------- Dear Dr. Robyn, I would just like to take a moment to thank you for your great article in the Bay State Parent, September edition. I have two children, one on the Autism Spectrum (Aspger's), and another with ADHD. For over 8 years, I have been defending, advocating, and doing whatever is possible to help my children to not feel like they have a "problem" but that they are unique and special in their own ways. I read your article, and laughed and shed a few tears as I read it, because not a day goes by that I wonder what can I do to make things better, and how can I balance both of the challenges they have without the other feeling like they do not have my undivided time. I also went on to your website, and found your program to be one that I will like to be able to tryout. At this time, the only computer access that I have is through my work, so I am hoping down the road I will be able to be a part of it. In the meantime, I would just like to thank you for a informative, and honest look at something every parent faces daily. I look forward to being a part of your success in the near future. Thank you, again for letting me share this with you.

Dear Dr. Robyn,

I would just like to take a moment to thank you for your great article in the Bay State Parent, September edition.

I have two children, one on the Autism Spectrum (Aspger’s), and another with ADHD.

For over 8 years, I have been defending, advocating, and doing whatever is possible to help my children to not feel like they have a “problem” but that they are unique and special in their own ways.

I read your article, and laughed and shed a few tears as I read it, because not a day goes by that I wonder what can I do to make things better, and how can I balance both of the challenges they have without the other feeling like they do not have my undivided time.

I also went on to your website, and found your program to be one that I will like to be able to tryout. At this time, the only computer access that I have is through my work, so I am hoping down the road I will be able to be a part of it.

In the meantime, I would just like to thank you for a informative, and honest look at something every parent faces daily. I look forward to being a part of your success in the near future.

Thank you, again for letting me share this with you.

Sincerely,

Robyn Y, Clinton, MA

At Shaping Youth we deal with media & marketing's impact on kids, (positive picks/damaging drek & all kinds of stuff in between) so I'm thinking a 'content swap' might be a refreshing fit for us, since she's clearly a solid writer and our audience has substantial crossover... Anyway, thanks for this; I'll check out some of your great resources here too, as your blogroll echoes many in my 'reader' as well, so I'll no doubt appreciate some of your picks I haven't yet discovered based on our similar taste... ;-) Funny, I had the exact same take on her article at first, immediately thought it would be a contrived ‘roll of the eyes’ for me, but it was a comforting, clever post…(I need to work on “A” for starters!)
