This month's wonderful Wednesday share isn't really a single post I found online. It's a series I've found, all thanks to this idea of a Special Needs Bloggers 30 Day Challenge from Mum On A Mission.
Whether you are a blogger, Instagram addict or Facebook fan, the 30 day challenge is a simple way to generate and organise blog posts, photos, Facebook updates or videos based on the theme or idea from the day.
Fair enough - why is this wonderful then? Well, I'll be honest, it's not always easy to figure what I want to write on my blog when. Ideas come and go and sometimes they get missed. It can be easy to fall out of blogging even when you don't want to and what I've loved about this challenge is I've found SEND bloggers coming out of the woodwork that I wasn't in touch with. I've heard and found more from one blogger in a week than I have noticed in a month. And that makes the community more connected.
Sometimes as a SEND parent life can be overwhelming and I'm loving that this challenge seems to be inspiring people to perhaps communicate and share more than they may have done and gives ideas for what they may love to share.
Here are some of my highlights:
- Day 2 from Ordinary Hopes on 10 Things you may not know about parenting a disabled child. I didn't start out thinking I hope we have a disabled child.. but it's turned out to be an amazing, if somewhat very tiring, adventure for us.
- Day 4 from The World of Gorgeous Grace on her proudest moments, like us, it's sometimes about your child being true to themselves.
- Day 5 from Flourishing Warriors shares a beautiful siblings photo. As two of my kids have difficulty with communication and social interactions, I cherish these types of moments too.
All this makes the #SEND30DayChallenge wonderful - and my share for the month. Seen something wonderful you think I should share, why not drop me a tweet or get in touch.
But I think you should have a look at what's around and what'd like to read too. If you taking part - feel free to drop a link in the comments below for people to check out.
This looks great, am looking forward to seeing more. Great that it doesn't have to be done over consecutive days - it takes the pressure off some! Thanks so much for linking up to #TriumphantTales - hope to see you again on Tuesday!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great idea... if only I had the time ;) #SpectrumSunday
ReplyDeleteThat is a good idea - because it also helps people find the same sort of ideas to relate to.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a wonderful challenge. Thanks for making me aware of it. I am not a special needs parent but Laura from Mum on a Mission said I, being a disabled adult, can participate too.
