I must say, at one point, it got a little tricky dealing with our sons issues but that is to be expected. When we got married we didn't have a diagnosis so it is hard to fully explain to people (and OBB) quite what the problem is and of course, people assume his behaviour and emotional/social difficulties must be down to our parenting! if only! He was diagnosed last year with cyclothymia, a form of bipolar. Even though it doesn't change anything, it makes it more of a tangible thing for others to grasp onto and subsequently relieves the finger pointing. I am sure your daughter will have a great day in June - keep 'em busy! it's a good tip and worked for us! If you are relaxed and having fun, she will respond accordingly. Best of luck and congrats to you all! Gemma x Hi Vanessa – good luck with your day! I must say, at one point, it got a little tricky dealing with our sons issues but that is to be expected.
