Hi, I've been looking into HE for a while, and really like the sound of it and I think it would be great for my DD. She is 5 and has a global developmental delay of 2 years.
She's on half term at the moment and I've been with her the whole time.
It must sound awful me saying this because I do worship the ground she walks on, but she drives me insane! She never stops talking and demanding my attention. Her speech is difficult to understand, so it's very mentaly draining for me when the talk is constant. I don't want her to think I can't understand her. Some of what she says dosn't make any sence, and she'll want my responce. She's also messing herself several times a day and dosn't have much bladder control either. I seem to spend a huge part of our day cleaning either her or her bedding or our furnature and carpets. I don't want to go back to pull ups as I don't want her to loose the small anount of control she has.
It has been quite a hard day today. (Can you tell??)
Sometimes though, I find teaching her so rewarding. I tought her to write the letter "y" at the end of her name and now she does it write every time. She seems to like to sit down at a desk and write things, so we do this a lot and she enjoys it. I think I'd have to get her out a lot for my own sanity, but I'm not sure how I'd cope in the winter months.
I'm not the most patient person in the world and I'm worried I'd get snappy with her a lot. I'm not sure I have what it takes to be honet, I'd love to think I did but I have to be realistic.

I'd love to HE but not sure I could cope.
