An Arizona mom took to Facebook to write an open letter to people who might not understand what it means to have a child with special needs.
, has an important message about parents of children with special needs:"We are always trying." That was the theme of a movingearlier this month, and it has since gotten a lot of love. She recalled,"A friend of mine messaged me recently about the extreme behaviors her child with an intellectual disability was displaying. Something, I’m familiar with. But she followed it up with saying, 'My family thinks I don't discipline him enough. They don't get it.
Benfield explains that"sometimes, trying looks like taking a more hands-off approach, and sometimes, it's more hands-on."our typically developing children, and sometimes it looks starkly different," she noted."We understand our kid's communication issues are frustrating to them. They respond in ways that don't make sense to the outside world, or even to us. But they are trying too.
Benfield tells CafeMom that although the conversation with her friend inspired the post, she has also"felt self-conscious."
