I have\u00a0 vaguely known that for a long time, but only now has it reached my consciousness. While other parents worried about their children not climbing a conifer too high, I had to utilize my parenting skills in order to keep Nona in an acceptable state. Acceptable meant ensuring that she wasn\u2019t too distressed, in order to be able to function normally because her regular routine had been disrupted.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you saw me, you would noticed that I was singing quietly to her, gently pushing her on a swing, talking to her while walking in the woods\u2026 You wouldn\u2019t have noticed any effort, any educational measure implemented in order to keep her calm, you wouldn\u2019t have noticed my throbbing headache.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Eventually, I would lie down with Nona so that we could rest and heard voices of parents from the garden, warning their children not to climb the tree too high. This was when I told myself, \u2018What I\u2019m doing is hard. It\u2019s really hard!\u2019 I didn\u2019t allow myself to feel like a victim. I didn\u2019t blame the God for anything. I didn\u2019t even wish that things were different. I admitted how something that was normal to others was difficult for me. How much energy is needed for something that seems easy? That knowledge didn\u2019t make me feel better or worse. It was just a simple truth.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When something appears easy it doesn\u2019t mean it actually is.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Parents of children with developmental issues truly have a difficult job to do.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Bojana Ne\u0161i\u0107 I\u2019ll say it aloud: parents of children with developmental disabilities have a truly serious job to do.
