why does a child whose completely exhausted not go to sleep at night? please someone explain this to me. we are SO consistent with our oldest who is almost seven and he still can't calm himself down after a full day. i mean full, soccer, playing, walking down to the school running, playing, walking back. it just makes no logical sense to us and it's frustrating. we are hoping the new doctor at the end of the month can help assist us further. we love our oldest so much we just want to help him. things just don't measure up. it's a lonely process getting help for him. on the outside he looks perfectly normal, but internally there is a fire ragging.
all these matters should be talked about with close friends to have support to get support. instead, we are judged by the actions the outward display of the fire within. honestly, is it unreasonable to request others just to love and care. genuinely. can't we get a break here. we are trying our very best and with God's help displaying the utmost love, but some days like today i just want answers. i want to know "why" a child can't just calm down, relax, enjoy the small precious things the world has to offer.
prayer. we can pray and you can to; for wisdom, patience, strength and love.

Praying for you guys -- we are having REALLY hard time with Ellie now, too, and reaching a serious breaking point. I totally know what you are talking about when you mention how you wish they can just ENJOY the life -- and not rage on inside (spilling out). I'll remember to pray for you all as I am praying for us!!!!
Thanks Hope.
He's a wonderful child we just need to get a little help for him. Just like we all need a little help in life at one time or another... thanks for praying i'll pray for Ellie too.
Shelly, thanks for sharing. I can't imagine how hard this is since children are the core of your heart. I have plenty of those mom moments where I feel hopeless. But I think you are so wise to reach out for help. It's being alone that makes everything more difficult. I hope you find the answers you are looking for. I know Dylan is God's child, that He has made him in a unique and wonderful way, and that no one can love or care for him as much as HE does.
thanks sara that was a really sweet note. we have a wonderful pediatrician that goes to our church that we are o'so thankful for...
thanks again.
