I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
In the US we have Regional Centers, which offer respite care, to get a break from the kids, occasionally; plus in-home parent training, to help you with dealing with your kids and their behavior.
Other sources of help for you may be:
County welfare has some help, but it's under reunification if you're in danger of losing them; They sometimes have social workers for prior to that stage, to help you.
Church groups may have "mentors" to help you learn to discipline them;
The school psychologist or counselor or social worker may be able to help with in-home or at-school parent training;
You can order an inexpensive tape or DVD like "1-2-3 Magic", which will teach you the basics of getting your home under control. Even watching "Nanny 911" on TV might give you ideas!
You can go to classes in the community like "Systematic Training for Effective Parenting" or "Parent Effectiveness Training" . These are held periodically, sometimes in churches or other locales.
You can ask your health insurance plan for assistance. They may have a social worker or public health nurse who can come to your house & help you.
You can join the self-help group, "Toughlove" to learn their techniques.
Ask their Special Ed. teachers for advice!
If things are too bad at home, you might even get one or more children placed in a Residential Treatment Center as their Special Education IEP "Least Restrictive Environment", for their health & welfare. You can check on that, too.
There are lots of options! Start checking them out, and good luck!
