Twenty years hence it is not going to matter what grades my child scored in Math( or Language,Sciences etc etc) when she was in Grade 3.
What’s going to matter is if she has been able to grasp the concepts, has retained them and is able to apply them in her daily living tasks.
What’s going to matter is her ability to live life independently, have healthy relationships and have meaningful conversations and discussions with whoever she chooses to interact with.
Friends with whom she can be herself, handling her money (save, invest, spend), understanding her own emotions and her limitations are what will make her life more fulfilling in a deeper way.My child's destination is wherever she ends up. All I can do is to support who she is and open up the world to her so that she can expand her interests.
A grade cannot determine or define an individuals self worth.
My journey as a mother of a special needs child with cerebral palsy and learning disabilities is what i try and encapsulate in my blog. The resources i have gathered along the way,the lessons i have learnt,the inputs and guidance that I have received over the years is all here.Finding myself in a good place now has enabled me to reach out to similar moms/caregivers like me. My journey still continues... I also write at http://jokumar.blogspot.com/
