No matter how rewarding parenthood is, fatigue is common among parents of children with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
As parents, it is important that we spend as much time with our children as possible, but that time shouldn’t be spent in front of the television. Instead, it is important to find fun and educational activities that can keep them entertained but also expand their minds so they can grow into smart and well-adjusted adults.
There is no doubt about it. Raising kids is hard. However, it isn’t impossible, especially as there have been many parents before you that have successfully raised children, and their proven strategies can help you to raise the best children possible.
Parenting is undoubtedly the most important, rewarding, and difficult job you will ever have. Every day is both a teaching and a learning opportunity — for you and your children.
