Another day, the school just called again saying “Your child is struggling in school because they just can’t sit still or focus.”
An email just arrived, one-on-one meeting scheduled with the boss because another project is late again, or not completed to expectation even though you have worked hard.
Failure Seems to be Lurking Around the Corner
The angst sets in will my child make it through school. Their teacher reports they often get up without permission, blurt out answers, doesn’t seem to listen, or struggles to pay attention You notice at home they also struggle with these things outside of school. However, you also start thinking back and realize your child has been struggling to complete tasks and doesn’t seem to be able to do large tasks without getting distracted. They do these things more often than expected for someone their age and you’re beginning to feel concerned and ask yourself how you can help them.
This job is important, it provides health insurance, stability, and income; losing those things sends chills down your spine and sweat to your palms. How can this job be saved is reeling through your mind, as you sort through what you can tell your boss during this meeting to escape getting written up or fired. Distraction is a battle every day, getting to bed early, eating properly, exercising, nothing seems to be working lately and you do not know where to turn next.
The Future is looking Scary
When thinking about helping your child the answers are not clear, so many different opinions what is accurate or even appropriate for your child goes through your mind. Again, the worry sets in looking ahead, if today in school is a struggle, what happens later when the world of employment is not as understanding as school?
Now the mind has really taken off in several directions, how much does unemployment provide, how will the mortgage/rent get paid, now the car, the monthly expenses seem to be tabulating simultaneously with the numbers spinning out of control in your head. Another headache has set in, wait now the clock shows three minutes after the meeting was to start!
