Learning to challenge your child is the most important thing you could ever do as an autism parent.
Please hear me on this, I say this with the most respect and love!
I have seen what lack of challenge can do for children through my cousin Hailey. She is 45 and was never challenged to use a fork herself, never challenged to drink out of a regular cup, never challenged to dress herself, never challenged to throw away her trash. She could have done all of these things but my aunt was too afraid to teach her. We can’t be afraid to challenge a child.
All kids can learn and grow, but how far they can go depends on what the parents are doing at home.
If you need help with this. Send me a DM, I’d be happy to connect with you and explore how we could work together!
