I think parents usually know their own kids and the level of involvement they need. We all wonder all the time, but I expect you are being the mom your kids need.Lone Star Mahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14339475499304565638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3535246666645795951.post-74180834679650881462008-12-07T18:33:00.000-05:002008-12-07T18:33:00.000-05:00Wow, your timing is amazing.

We got a sitter for B because Z needs a lot of support negotiating birthday parties. He falls apart at them if they aren't handled just right (by us, I mean). It is just too overwhelming. I don't see other kids having these issues, and although I worry I am seeming too hover-y, I also know that he is hyper-aware of these social situations and needs a lot of help learning how to handle them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
