It’s Okay to Feel Overwhelmed {Tip 21 of 31}


Feeling stressed-out or frustrated
Just about every parent of a special needs child ends up feeling stressed-out, overwhelmed or frustrated with the special education system at some point. So, don’t feel bad – you’re in good company!
It's okay to feel overwhelmed [1]

Whether you’re struggling to find the right school or in a constant battle to ensure your child is getting appropriate therapy and services, the challenges never seem to stop. This may be the case for parents starting their child’s education or for those who have teenagers and/or young adults and been dealing with this journey for years.

As with any large and complicated organization, you may find bureaucratic barriers in the education system. And navigating them successfully can be a full-time job, (on top of the job you already have), not to mention difficult and aggravating at times.

And every year, there’s a host of school-related things you have to manage. Bus personnel and student pick up/drop off times change, which can disrupt your own work schedules. After school programs and care for your child have to be arranged to make sure your child is well taken care of. School supplies, uniforms, clothing and shoes have to be purchased.

So cut yourself some slack. You’re entitled to feel like you have the weight of the world on your shoulders.
