Every baby is special and perfect in their own ways. Never forget that they are trying ❤️
Don’t forget the kids who are doing the extra work.
The kids whose days don’t end with the final bell, the kids whose breaks don’t follow a school calendar.
The kids who spend their afternoons being shuttled to speech, or PT, or OT.
The kids whose schedules include services and therapies, on top of everything else.
The kids who need extra help and support.
The kids who are struggling to overcome barriers—whether physical, mental, or emotional.
The kids who don’t follow the typical schedules, hit the expected milestones, take the traditional path.
The kids who might need different strategies and tools to help them learn.
These kids are working so hard, too.
They’re tired, too, even if their successes seem smaller or maybe even completely unnoticeable to most.
There likely won’t be any awards for them at the end of the year, or special recognition for how far they’ve come.
But take it from me—they are working SO dang hard.
Don’t forget to acknowledge their efforts.
Because what might be a small hurdle on the track for most kids, could be a Herculean task for a kid who has to try 10 times harder just to make it to the starting line.
These kids might not excel in traditional ways, but there’s nothing unexceptional about them.
Because they work harder for every win, and they don’t take a single bit of it granted.
