With as many times as you encouraged me and gave me help, I can understand where your dc got his heart of gold…
You taught him perseverance and diligence. By your example, you taught him that if he can’t solve a problem one way, he should keep searching for another way. Those skills will be so valuable for our non-NT kids as they will struggle to find ways up the many hills in their future lives.
