Clary Diary

It took us a lot of sleepless nights thinking about the changes and the major adjustments that we might undergo when my child's Developmental Pediatrician advised us to transfer my child with special needs from Special Education to Mainstream School.  My son was diagnosed with GDD (Global Developmental Delay) as early as 1 year old. We underwent Occupational and Speech Therapy sessions since he was only 18 months. At four years old, I started sending him to SpEd (Special Education) and have his regular assessment with his DevPed (Developmental Pediatrician) every six months while still attending his Occupational and Speech Therapy.

I know, some of us moms experienced scolding their kids (including husbands) for not using a sliver of soap because it is not easy to use in the shower or in the bath. Soap isn't very expensive but any amount of waste adds up. I share the same dilemma because my teen son used to open a new box of bath soap after dumping the thin one (not too thin after all) into the toilet bowl. Some of you might be looking for ways on how to make it useful, oh well, not all moms are "OC" like me but I bet, you're going to love this idea which I included in trillions of my tasks.

As a mom, we want to make sure that everything our kids need is always at hand.  Whether at home or if we are somewhere else, we want to make it a point that whatever it is that they might need is always there especially when we’re travelling. Me and my youngest son Joaqui is travelling from Laguna to Manila every Thursday morning. My son is a special child, which has a condition of Global Developmental Delay Syndrome.
