Many parents have to bear witness to the after school collapse that is often experienced by neurodivergent kids. This may be crying inconsolably for an extended period of time as soon as they return home, or it might be a lack of capacity to deal with anything unexpected no matter how minor it may seem.

While this can be heartbreaking to see, it is even more heartbreaking knowing that some kids do not feel safe showing these emotions to any adults and are instead having to cope in isolation. These are the kids crying themselves to sleep or finding unhelpful coping mechanisms.

So if you are one of the many parents supporting your child through big emotions, take time to reflect on the special gift you have created for your child. The gift of emotional safety.

This sentiment really resonated with me. Many of the parenting decisions I have made are very different to what I imagined when I first became a parent. Instead of grieving an ideal, I have adapted and been responsive to my child's needs.
