Puzzles

My son's behavior resembles a puzzle.  Its intricate parts are loosely patterned and specifically intertwined to work together, all to form one whole that, by definition, is circularly represented by its parts.  My son works very much like a puzzle:  a patterned maze of parts, parts that range from easy to difficult, from large to small, and that flows both vertically and horizontally.  He is as complex and simple as a puzzle, and coping with his behavior is as intriguing and frustrating as it is to complete one.  This is a surprisingly interesting comparison, true; but it is an accurate description of his personality and all of its dimensions.

The puzzles of our lives make us stronger individuals who can analyze, feel and judge better than we were able to before. - Unknown

Be strong, Super Parents, and let's keep enjoying life as we put together the pieces of our puzzling and puzzled children and selves.  Peace, love and happiness to you all.
