My Patience is Being Tried
As we try to get going on homeschooling; I am finding myself struggling to be patient with my FASD, RAD, ADHD/ADD kids. I want to be a good mom first and then a good teacher, it is so hard. Being challenged constantly drains me. I am determined that we are going to make it and all end up happy in the end that we had this time together. I pray that the kids can make progress in bonding this year. That means I need to work on myself as far as being patient. Never been my best trait - ask my older kids. Oh, the things we have to keep learning!!!

wandered in here during some too-late-at-night blog wanderings. Sounds like a massive undertaking, homeschooling these kids, but hopefully it helps them really connect with you.
I'm ADD and found a book called "Scattered Minds" by Gabor MAte to be really really good, it explained a lot about my life. It's not a cure book, but the author has an unusual perspective, because he himself is ADD, as are his 3 kids. Highly recommended, I think it's got a slightly different title in the US than it does here in Canada.
Best Wishes.
