Ok, I know it's 6 days until shark week, and I realize that probably has something to do with the fact that I'm having feelings... But dammit, I'm having feelings. Mostly anxiety about putting my kids in school. I received a harsh reminder today that my son struggles hardcore with language arts. His spelling is nowhere near his grade level, he can't compose a proper sentence without correction, and he doesn't understand how written language functions, despite all my years of efforts trying to teach him. His reading comprehension is good, however, as long as he's interested in what he's reading. I'm just feeling like a failure, moreso than usual. I think he might have a learning disability, and I don't know what to do. I'm so stressed out. I just want him to have a positive experience, and he struggles with self esteem as it is. He's such a tender hearted young man, and so easily discouraged. 😢
