Why Mothers Havea Tough Time
• If we are concerned, we are overprotective; if we are unconcernedwe are neglectful.
• If we are involved, we are demanding; if we are not, we are detached.
![Page 13: VCU-RRTC Webcast. What Parents Need to Know About Community-Integrated Employment Cherie Takemoto Parent Educational Advocacy Training Center (PEATC)](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051516/56649e255503460f94b139cc/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Why Mothers Havea Tough Time
• If we have high expectationswe are unrealistic; if we have simple aspirations we set our sights too low.
• If we nurture generously, we are smothering; if we nurture less we are withholding.

Why Mothers Havea Tough Time
• If we offer advice, we are controlling; if we refrain, we are disinterested.
• If we phone, write or visit often, we are pests; if we don't, we are uncaring.

Why Mothers Havea Tough Time
• If we help with tasks or give or loan money, we cultivate dependency; if we don't, we are unsupportive.
