Message: <blockquote data-quote="Pinson" data-source="post: 99602" data-attributes="member: 14014">I would like to have your opinion on the following point: do you believe that us, parents of kids with T1D, need specific parental skills that may not be required with a child with no chronic condition? It is a question that I have been asking myself for a while, with no satisfying answer so far, so I thought I would pass it by you. So far, I have gathered a few points : 1)love does not seem enough 2)my child who is 12 and has T1D, seems to need me to accompany him as a mentor, so I have been wondering what makes a good mentor... 3) Kids with T1D are kids first, and it occurs they have T1D. This means these kids have to become more responsible more quickly if this condition is going to be well managed. Any thoughts or experience to share? Cheers from Pinson</blockquote>
