@autistictoddlermom: Replying to @Ashanti | Steady Motion Autism mama, I hear you! 🥹💗 I used to be a helicopter mom too, and depending on the situation, I still am! But sis, what if we’re so busy worrying about everything that could go wrong that we’re missing everything our babies could actually do RIGHT? What if they CAN climb it? What if they CAN figure it out? What if they surprise us? I’m not saying ignore their safety. I’m saying give them safe opportunities to show you what they’re capable of. And mama, give yourself grace while you’re learning to do that, too. 💗 They may surprise you. My baby is 2 and he hangs with the big kids. He used to be real tight when I wouldn’t let him try. Now I join him . We really had a great time. #autismmom #autismmomsoftiktok #helicoptermoms #autismacceptance #autismmomlife
