The Journey ...Child Guidance Clinic in Singapore

I am hoping for some progress.

 

For a start, my boss approved my child care leave In October for the visit to the Child Guidance Clinic. Alhamdullilah. With all the cut overs we have from now till December, I was worried she would not approve.

 

I find that its important that I am truthful about my son's condition to my Boss. Alhamdullilah, my boss's son is also a ADHD child and he is now in secondary 3....so she understands.

 

Alhamdullilah, we have been sharing our experience together. Eerily enough, alot of what she said about her son is present in my boy. 

 

How do you think I feel now?

Now, awaiting that date in patience.

This is the start of The Journey.
