Hello All,
I am Frubsdad and really glad I found this place. Like many of you here, I have a 4yo son who is diagnosed with SPD...more than likely something I've struggled with my entire life. Jeeze, all my teachers/parent/strangers thought I was lazy and hyperactive...little did they know!!!
All kidding aside, I am here because of my little guy. The last two years have been challenging...to say the least...for me, my wife, daughter, and most importantly my son who has SPD.
I really hope to shed some light about some of the questions I have, techniques and ideas from others with similar experiences, hopefully be able to understand things the way my son views them, and hopefully give a little back to some of the other members.
I also have a 9 year old daughter who does not have SPD who has the biggest heart in the world. She is so patient and understanding most of the time in that a lot of our attention does go towards my son. We've tried explaining things to her on different occasions...but she understands so very little other than her little brother is a little bit different than other kids his age. I understand how she feel jealous, angry, and sad at times....we really do our best to put as much time as possible aside for her and only her. Although, as many of you know, things don't always go the way we always want.
Just like most 4 year old little boys, my little guy likes Super Heros, monster trucks, catching bugs, and playing outside with me and his pals. He and I do a lot together like catching frogs around our lake, fishing, going to the trampoline park...which he loves btw. We play monster trucks A LOT.
I really look forward towards digging deeper into this site. Any window, big or small, into the way my son sees the world helps us understand him better.
Best Regards,
Frubsdad
