Congrats to your DD. I don’t have kids (yet) but can appreciate you must feel so proud especially with the history you’ve told us. Enjoy the moment :)

So good to hear, it is such a massive achievement for our young people to turn things around, takes an awful lot of commitment.
I was in the depths of despair three years ago l couldn' t get my son to school due to a panic and anxiety disorder. it was an horrendous situation, fast forward three years he has achieved very good results regarding exams and currently working part time and studying. No one will ever realise the determination and effort involved, they just think home education was the easy option, my son works on his mental and emotional health and wellbeing everyday, as well as his acedemic studies. It is incredibly frustrating when people who have zero knowledge of mental health issues imply that young teens who have problems going to school due to anxiety are being defiant or lazy, that its down to bad parenting. Therefore l will shout my sons achievements from the rooftops because l know the enormous effort its taken for him to get there.

I’m not sure it’s accurate that you’re allowed to “shout out” about sports achievements either. I’m really proud of my DD who attended an England selection camp for her main sport but wasn’t selected for the final team. She has managed to overcome the massive disappointment and helped her club team to some impressive results.

I’m so proud of my darling daughter Fran today, who has finally weened herself off her beloved blanket! Whilst quite a late occurrence (she is now a teenager) I’m extremely proud of her because both I and my husband had became concerned about this. Well done to my eldest daughter though, for what truly is a great achievement!!

I’m so proud of DD19 because she has made it to the end of education and finished school

From the age of 11 she was a suicide risk, CAMHS we’re useless and she developed a condition that meant she couldn’t stay in a school building any longer

we enrolled her in an online school, moved her back a year, applied for an EHCP and started another path always telling her that she was the most important thing not her education

Now with many diagnosis’s and treatment she’s stable and halfway through her A level exams with a place at Uni hopefully in September

Her exam centre is hundreds of miles from home and DH takes her each time, she has her own exam room because of her condition

No matter what results she gets she is a winner and has exceeded all her primary school teacher’s expectations. We are so proud of her

DS also has the same conditions but not as severely, I am humbled by his attitude to his work. A year younger than his sister he too is taking his A levels starting next week and is also in his own exam room

he lives under the radar but has always always been there at his sisters back even if it got him into trouble with teachers who didn’t understand

He too has a place at Uni all being well for September ( along side his sister) both have worked so hard and we are so proud of them both

Just wondered if anyone else wanted a thread to celebrate our children in a non-boasting but very proud way.

You know the sort of thing, they have done amazing in something but you can’t tell too many people for fear of seeming to be bragging. Often in academics. You are allowed to shout out about sport/art/music as everyone recognises the hard work behind that. But there is still the idea that academics is the result of talent, rather than, as with all, a combination of talent and hard work.

People can also see it as criticism or their own child, which isn’t the case as everyone is a complex mix of things they are good at/ not so good at and their circumstances at the time.

Anyway, my daughter (who two years ago was in such bleak despair we actually got help from CAMHS) just scored 49/50 on her EPQ (extended project qualification worth half an A level) as well as smashing her history coursework.

What are your proud mum moments?

My DS4 is very delayed in his speech and possibly autistic, said, 'Dad sit on swing and I sit on Dad' to me so I was very proud. All achievements are relative.
