Decisions

There are days where I second guess myself.  Like the days where a bad report comes home, and I realize that even a common, childhood folly has to be recorded and analyzed.  Or when I'm once again reading statistics of how many opportunities of a task were reached and what percentage of the time she was successful at an activity.

On those days, I wonder about what I am doing?

Am I teaching her that her best is deficient?  Am I teaching her that she has to change to fit into the world?


But I quickly come back to center and to the place where I know in my heart that I am doing what I believe is best for Kamdyn.

As we move into our next big decision for Kamdyn, I have a lot of questions that are running through my mind.

If I push to get her into a mainstream classroom, am I robbing her of the chance to be with people where she will feel like she belongs?

But is it best to choose a self-contained classroom for her? Is it where she would thrive?

Or should I homeschool?

The thing that encourages me as we look forward to making this decision in the near future is the fact that countless parents have gone before us and have chosen all 3 of these options for their child, and they were right for their child.

Knowing that thousands of other parents are weighing this same decision RIGHT NOW gives me peace, because we are all trying to do the best for our kids.  That we have options is a blessings in itself, as well.

So to anyone else who is in this same place, we will make the right decision.  Because we love our kids, and we want what is best.  So let's all take a deep breath and take this one day at a time.
