'It felt dismal. One thing I learned, though, and wish I could instill in every parent with a child who struggles, is: The effort that you put in today will pay off tomorrow. That has been my experience, regardless of the disorder or learning disability.'
My husband and three of our six children had already been diagnosed with attention deficit when another son’s first-grade teacher chased me down after school one day. She pointed out that Hunter would probably be held back. He couldn’t write legibly or remember his alphabet, much less read. I told her to give it a little more time. We were positive he had attention deficit disorder . We were waiting to see the doctor to confirm it and start him on medication very soon..
With Hunter’s writing, progress was slow. So slow that I doubted the decisions I’d made and the remediations we tried. Rather than letting discouragement get the better of us, we decided to push ahead. We kept trying, kept working. Eventually, it translated into a sentence or two here and there without complaint. We encouraged him to write for his own pleasure, about the things that were important to him. For one assignment at school, he had to create a newspaper.
“Fire, an element of nature, can be seen on two spectrums. When controlled, fire is a provider of warmth, light, and comfort. To a weary traveler, fire can signify a warm meal and a comfy bed. Although fire is beautiful, it is also deadly. When uncontrolled, fire becomes a source of fear and despair. He becomes the almighty devourer, consuming and destroying all things within his path. All fire does is hate and kill. He feigns the sense of comfort and the feeling of a warm embrace.
