Island Parent February/March 2021

he wanted to play. We took a page from their book and did the
same at home.
6. Play is therapy.
Yes, this is different from number five. After discharge from
therapy, we sought extra curricular activities for my son that
would offer therapeutic benefits. He played sled hockey, runs
on a track team, learned to shoot archery and takes swim lessons.
All of this is therapy. He’s learning, having fun and getting
stronger. Win, win and win.
7. Make time to enjoy your kids.
We super parents tend to be fairly busy and often over scheduled.
However, while everything on your calendar is important,
it’s also important to make time to play, laugh, be silly and just
enjoy your kids. Read to them, snuggle with them, engage with
them with what’s important in their worlds. Make memories
outside of hospital walls.
8. You will be obligated to make heart-wrenching
decisions.
You will have to make painful decisions that hurt your heart
and leave you questioning everything you thought you knew
or understood. Know that you are doing your best, remember
number three. I am guilty of agonizing over these types of decisions,
they can become really overwhelming to me. Talk about
your conundrum with others who get it and trust yourself to
make the best decision. Make it move on and once it’s made
don’t rethink it. Easier said than done, but worth a try.
