Day 11 - Daddy is often working when we get home from school so they don’t always see each other every evening but they always talk on the way home - always. He runs through the day with her, each part, asking how it went and she always answers the same - routine. Until this one day about two months ago. Her school crew had been implementing a behavior plan with her to help her have a more productive day and she had been having really good success with it prior to the craziness. You could tell she seemed calmer and more confident. There is something to be said for knowing with crystal clarity what is expected of you and then being held accountable for it. So back to this rogue night - Daddy mixed it up and asked “What did you DO at school today?” If you are a parent you absolutely know what comes next 99.9% of the time - “NOTHING”. 🙄 Every educators favorite answer. Not Baby Girl though. I still beam thinking about her answer - with a giant grin she said “I don’t know but I was AWESOME at it!!” You have to admire the ability to not see the ways you are different or be hendered by the things that are tough or maybe impossible. We could all use that kind of confidence in ourselves. Lesson learned Baby Girl! 👩🏼🏫 #30facesofautism
