In the morning, she threw Hnat on the floor two times, second being unsuccessful due me being in-between them and reacting quickly too.
During the day, she was very agitated, school teachers told me.
Now she’s so fucking loud, it’s impossible for me to get asleep.
I wonder is that the medicals she gets. Do we even need to give her this shit? I’m against any medical intervention, especially for the matters as sensitive as the brain. But I’m not well informed on the subject, so I may be wrong too.
Having a kid like that is a constant challenge. It’s just, I don’t know, twelve times more difficult than having a regular child, and twelve times less rewarding. You’re bound to the child and you control nothing. God knows whether she’d ever speak. I hope so, she says papa (a Ukrainian word for bye) quite well, but basically that’s the only word she says. Once in a blue moon. Also, she says Coca Cola, but very creepy. And she does not understand that Coca Cola is Coca Cola, and not all the best and pleasant sweet tasty things life provides.
Other parents say they kids start being unbearable when they finally start speaking. I can believe it, but I just hope Nadia stays mostly calm kid she is. Despite the sleep terror she placed upon us, she’s rather calm.
I do remember Janusz Korczak saying something like you shouldn’t do an easy kid, something like that. Meaning making the kid easily maintained by breaking it psychologically. Thankfully, we’re far from being the Soviet / ruzzian / barbaric parents. But oftentimes I think we have suffered plenty for our kids to become a little bit less maintenance heavy kid.
Well, truth be told, she’s much easier to maintain to what we’ve gone through already.
