Unfortunately for many of us, our children's educators and service providers (medical or otherwise) seem to think they arein Stage 4 when really hey are in the same boat with the rest of us!Niksmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14715465327343655483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6202467949945153658.post-62889381884333526682007-11-16T06:53:00.000-08:002007-11-16T06:53:00.000-08:00I believe I am still in stage 1; but after years o...I believe I am still in stage 1; but after years of practice I am very accomplished at it. It seems that every time I learn something 2 more things pop up that I didn't even know existed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6202467949945153658.post-30748860748421026722007-11-16T06:27:00.000-08:002007-11-16T06:27:00.000-08:00Well said.

I think realizing it's ok to not know is important too.mumkeepingsanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03359192887444530869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6202467949945153658.post-42180420764607759482007-11-15T11:27:00.000-08:002007-11-15T11:27:00.000-08:00Once again, I think you have described very well y...Once again, I think you have described very well your approach to parenting as one that will work very well at empowering your son as well as others who hear how you approach things.<BR/>Good post!Edhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08354784098768688627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6202467949945153658.post-77478349356874856752007-11-15T10:15:00.000-08:002007-11-15T10:15:00.000-08:00Weird.

I went through the pase of trying lots of diffent cures and it was nothing short of frustratingly depressing and expensive. With our daughter we go back and forth, I think. I guess she has so many varied health concerns that we have to focus on one and then the other. Like her development and learning takes a back seat if she is having seizures all the time. When she was a toddler we did not pay attention to her inability to communciate since all she did was scream and cry much of the time. Once she could communicate some we realized she had heart issues and other health concerns. I swear, to us it never every seems to end. I feel like we are a bouncing ball going from one stage and back to step one all over again. I can say that since we beagn homeschooling we are able to focus more on all of her skills, strengths rather than on her sensory weak areas. That has made a huge difference for us.Marla https://www.blogger.com/profile/03926898159751613267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6202467949945153658.post-50734573691534853562007-11-15T04:52:00.000-08:002007-11-15T04:52:00.000-08:00the majority of these developmental diagrams were ...<I>the majority of these developmental diagrams were just flawed attempts by smart people at making sense of an incredibly random and unpredictable series of potential developmental trajectories</I><BR/><BR/>That's why I decided not to go on to the upper level psych classes and chose a different major instead; it was obvious there wasn't much real science there.abfhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01228622726560993968noreply@blogger.com
