Never give up on your kids ever. In fact, don't give up on any kid no matter of they are yours or not.

Just keep trying. Just as the child's movie, Find Nemo says, just keep swimming, just keep swimming!

At times, it seems like you cannot simply keep going. The frustration and the irritation can and might be overwhelming but the idea you have of giving up and walking away, should be the last idea. In fact, it should not even start as an idea and make it to the list. You simply cannot give up on any child. This is imperative because no one knows if the next attempt at whatever you are trying will work and change that little ones life forever.

There are too many stories about parents walking away from their kids forever. These kids grow up and find out that their parents left them. It affects them forever and possibly their kids too.

On the other side, there are loads of stories about adukts lookibg back and knowing that that particular adult who nrver gave up on them, made all the difference and formed who they are today.

Whether or not you are there to experience that child having a breakthrough, you trying to help that child, may make the significant difference for that child. The child having that breakthrough has got nothing to do with you. This is because it's not about you.

When you are tired and want to give up, It's you that is tired and you that wants to give up. It is not the child. It's not about you so stick to the needs of the child and leave your selfish needs and desires at the door.

If you give up on your child, what lasting impression will it leave in that little persons head for the rest of their life?
