'It felt dismal, but one thing I learned, and wish I could instill in every parent with a child who struggles, is: The effort that you put in today will pay off tomorrow.'
My husband and three of our six children had already been diagnosed with attention deficit when another son’s first-grade teacher chased me down after school one day. She pointed out that Hunter would probably be held back. He couldn’t write legibly or remember his alphabet, much less read. I told her to give it a little more time. We were positive he had attention deficit disorder . We were waiting to see the doctor to confirm it and start him on medication very soon.
Time went on and his writing still needed help. Any time an assignment required writing, we’d both fall apart from anxiety and frustration. It took hours, and, in the end, he might produce a sentence or two. He was nowhere near writing a paragraph.It sounds pretty dismal, doesn’t it? It certainly felt that way. One thing I learned, though, and wish I could instill in every parent with a child who struggles, is: The effort that you put in today will pay off tomorrow.
