Very upset my blood daughter Olivia is 9 and in fourth grade . She has been struggling in school well they just tested her for learning disabilities.. I guess they may have found something because they are calling me in for an IEP meeting . Kinda worried for my daughter's feelings and how she is going to feel about this I don't know how to deal with this im scared . I know if may be another challenge in motherhood but I'm just kinda sad and anxious and worried all in one . Anybody have any thoughts or advice or support about this .
@moromama, you can't blame yourself. You did the best you could and she will see that! You never know the outcome. You can't play the what if game you'll never win. You're an amazing mom and don't forget it
@kelleycrew7362 i see what your saying there is nothing wrong with learning differently then others it doesn't mean it's wrong .. Thank u for the support
@kelleycrew7362 more like finding out for the past 9years I have raised her and never noticed .. Guilt that I didn't work with her enough as I was a single mom the first 6 years of her life . I now have a husband that works tho and I get to stay home so I will be able to spend more time 2 help her . Ya different is nt bad your right . And explaining that to her is what I will have to do she has went thru alot for a kid . I just hate seeing her struggle so I agreed to do this but didn't know it was such an issue now I'm just blaming myself for her struggle 😢😣
@moromama, why though? What's your fear if something is "wrong" I put it in quotes because learning differently isn't bad or wrong. It's like anything in life. Some are amazing drawers, or very athletic while others are alright and some have to really work at it. We aren't all the same. We have to start being alright with different and not be so weary of the unknown
@kelleycrew7362 that is true my worry is her comparing to my step daughter they are in same grade and age . I my step daughter is in speech tho so I feel like just saying everybody is different and learns differently . I'm just worried tho I guess I should wait and see what they say I'm so scare I'm the one that is going to have a hard time excepting if something is really wrong
@momofdeuce, I couldn't agree more!! IEP isn't bad, getting help isn't bad, doing nothing is. There's nothing wrong with needing extra help or admitting you don't know something. I think as long as you don't make a big deal about it your daughter will be fine. Kids pick up things by our actions. How will she know it's different or wrong unless you show her. Encourage the help! Make it fun!
