Hello: I am the mother of a handicapped 16 year old daughter she was born with
downe's syndrome at birth and is midly retarted ok righ now I wont school to end
but it's another 3 weeks 4 days then we got to face summer school which I didn't wont her...

to go she will have a 23 day break her teacher said would help with her
behavorial problems she has her moments sometimes nothing bad.

Now when school is out or on weekends she wonts to get up early if you let her she will get up at 7a.m. I wont let her I have to help her get dressed etc when
it's school days plus she has to take her medcine before her bus comes she can
move slow some mornings more then others what I need is some suggestions
on how to make things better of mornings when she is out of school.

I say I need to start doing like when there is school laying out her clothes even

like I need to sleep of mornings better when she gets off to school which I dont
so I can do washing etc and of weekends be able to sat down better and enjoy
my boyfriend we are working with blue ridge behavorial services but I believe respite services isn't continous like it once was. Please respond ASAP

Kids with the 'problems' your daughter has thrive off of routine. That's why she feels the need to wake up at the same time every day. You're her mother, you should help make life easy for her and stick to a daily routine. Even when she's not in school. It will help her grow and mature. As for 'enjoying your boyfriend'...spend alone time with him at night when she's asleep. You can't just make her leave you alone...she needs you help...you're her mom, you should WANT to give it to her!!
