A beautiful and powerful quote that can offer comfort and perspective is: “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” — Jeremiah 29:11 Why this verse is encouraging:
Hope and Future: It reaffirms that despite the challenges and unexpected turns, your child’s life (and your family’s journey) is part of a purposeful plan that is ultimately meant for good and infused with hope.
Trust: It encourages relying on a greater plan when the day-to-day struggles feel overwhelming, reminding you that you are not walking this path alone.
Prosperity (Wholeness): “Prosper” in this context often means more than just material wealth; it can be interpreted as having a plan for shalom—wholeness, peace, and completeness—for your child and your family, even if their journey looks different than others.

We Exceptional Creative care parents made history. We got to meet each other face to face. The trip was great We met with the ministry of education special needs unit to see what can be done for our Exceptional Children. I am trusting the Lord that a change will come. I would love to see Jamaica, put center and schools in place like what is in America eg https://napacenter.org/napa-boston/ My desire is to see all our Exceptional Children in a center were they will get the necessary care that they need to achieve functional milestone in their lives. As we work together as a team I know that we will see things fall into place, but we have to be consistent, united and determined. Faith without works is dead. As we continue to advocate and let our voices be heard, I know without a shadow of a doubt that God our Heavenly Father will make a way. I pray that more parents will come out and share their stories, so that society will know that they and their children matter.

Parenting a child with exceptional needs can be challenging. I know; I am a parent of an exceptional child. As a mom, I’ve found it necessary to give myself room to breathe, draw closer to God, replenish and pull myself together. I cannot be of much use to or support for my child when I am running on or close to empty. Below are some practical steps I am using and I suggest you consider as a parent of a child with exceptional needs. Remember, you have exceptional needs, too.
Get outside
Even if it’s while your kid is in therapy, step outside to change up the scenery. Waiting rooms can be so dull and your mood will soon mimic your surroundings.
If it’s a sunny day, then that’s a bonus. There are studies about how the sun can boost your serotonin which improves your mood. So, go soak it up – even if it’s just a few minutes at a time.
And if the sun is nowhere to be found? Go outside anyway. Breathe some fresh air.
Tell your family and close friends how you feel. You are the primary caregiver, and parenting a child with special needs is emotionally and physically taxing. Others probably don’t have any idea how you are feeling. Tell them how they can help, like offering a listening ear, or watching your child so that you have time to replenish yourself.
Give yourself personal time
In the form of a walk, prayer, writing in a journal, or some other activity you enjoy. Do this every day.
Take care of you
Make sure you are eating food that is healthy, drinking plenty of water, and getting plenty of sleep.
Pay it forward
Helping others is good for our own mental health and well-being. It is also a great example for our children.
