Am I allowing too much?
Last week, my oldest daughter turned 10. Her birthday wish? A real archaeology book—not a simplified children's version, but a deep dive into the subject. It felt like a risk, but she's been reading it, understanding it, and loving it.My daughter is autistic. Social connections are challenging for her, but her passions—math, history, physics—burn bright. Today, when I picked her up, she hugged me tight. I knew something was wrong.Turns out, during reading time, her teacher took away her archaeology book, saying it was "too hard" and gave her a fictional story instead—something my daughter struggles to engage with. Sadly, this wasn’t the first time her interests were dismissed.After a long conversation with the school, the teacher now blames me, saying I should push her toward "age-appropriate" activities.It stings. I wonder—am I doing right by trusting her choices?Have you ever doubted your parenting path? I'd love to hear your experiences in the comments. #ParentingJourney #NeurodivergentKids #TrustYourChild #FamilyLife #EmotionalGrowth. #Parenting
