Things I Know…
What do I know??
I know I’m really looking forward to the school holidays.
I know we have lots of exciting things plans for the holidays.
I know I’m hoping the tummy ache side effect from Annie’s new medicine will settle down soon. 
I know I’m hoping the medicine will work because her meltdowns have been steadily increasing in their intensity.
I know the housework has somehow gotten on top of me and I just can’t seem to get it under control again.
I know Annie cleans when she is stressed and has said numerous times ‘When I clean my room it makes my head less kerfluffly’… so maybe if the house was clear it would help too?
I know the days are harder at the moment and with spring in the air I was thinking they’d get easier.

I hope things get better for Annie, too!
All parents have unique stresses as the result of raising children, but what is being done to help parents cope?
My name is Crystal Lee, and I am a doctoral student in clinical psychology at Baylor University. For my dissertation I am studying stress and ways of coping with stress in parents. My hope is to use the data from my dissertation to create an effective way to help parents cope with stress.
I am looking for parents of children ages 5-12 in three categories:
1. Parents of children with an Autism Spectrum Disorder
2. Parents of children with Type 1 Diabetes
3. Parents of children with no diagnoses
If you meet the above criteria, please take this survey, which takes 30-45 minutes to complete: https://baylor.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_0GJF7ldjuBwBWEk
If you do not meet the above criteria, please consider forwarding the survey to any parents you know that fit the above criteria.
People who complete the survey can participate in a drawing for one of three $50 giftcards to Amazon.com. Additionally, people who refer others to the survey get their name added into the drawing for each person they refer.
If you have any questions regarding the study, you may contact me at [email protected]
Thank you for your time and help,
