People have told me I am the expert when it comes to my
children, but I am not. How can I be the expert when I have no idea what to do?
I don’t know how to get Love Bug to cooperate and accomplish simple everyday
tasks. How am I the expert when I have no idea how to help my daughter with her
internal struggles and issues? I don’t know if we are coming or going, if we
are up or down. I am holding it together with duct tape and sheer
determination. If there is expertise in stubbornness, then yes, perhaps I am an
expert. But, when it comes to helping my children, my only expertise lies in being able to describe what is going on, what might trigger them, and how the fall-out looks from my perspective. I have no clue how to stop it or make any of it go differently than I did the last time. I've read books and I am now reading one more; "The Explosive Child" by Dr. Ross Green. Maybe this will be the key to true expertise. Fingers crossed....
