Read: "If words are said that have a hint of unfeeling, callousness; if actions are brash, jerky, not thought out, our children absorb it. Possibly to a deeper degree than that of neurotypical children. They have no release, no decisive, deciphered, constructive way of communicating what they've experienced to us. They have no way of telling us that they were hurt, they don't understand why something happened, why something was said. They have no release. They are so delicate." -- Mia, from the post "Special Sensitivities" on the blog General Hysteria
Reflect: How delicately do I treat my child? Do I consider the effect of my words or my attitude? What can I do to be more gentle in my communication?
