I often make a point to give the girls a chance on running in for a gallon of milk or bread or something so they can be so proud when they get it right!DynamicDuohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17873524872136172078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16655703.post-42084980283904610972010-08-13T07:39:42.562-07:002010-08-13T07:39:42.562-07:00Miz Kizzle, I was specifically thinking about kids...Miz Kizzle, I was specifically thinking about kids like Claudia's who may have FAS, but perfectly normal IQs, I wouldn't consider them neuro-typical due to the organic brain damage of FAS. I have no idea what is right or wrong either, in my head thats what I was thinking. <br /><br />I don't mind at all when others speak of their kids and their accomplishments! I celebrate their success! Perhaps this is because I have 2 children who are very bright and had a good start in life, unlike Dustin. <br /><br />However, I am not very PC when it comes to things, so don't take my word for anything! LOL I still use the "R" word sometimes! Eeeekk!Sherihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16598822471867683429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16655703.post-85589536995292113012010-08-13T06:55:19.261-07:002010-08-13T06:55:19.261-07:00Good for Dustin! And good for you for being so pat...Good for Dustin! And good for you for being so patient.<br />You mention neuro-typical kids and those with average IQs. Are those two different categories? I'm not sure how to refer to my three kids who in days gone by, would have been called "normal." I know it's insulting to refer to my children as normal to parents of children with special needs but I'm not sure of the right terminology. Kids with no diagnoses? Kids with no acronyms associated with them? Kids in regular ed? The last one isn't right because they were all in gifted and talented classes and the eldest skipped a grade. <br />My two boys are in college and my daughter is starting her junior year in high school in a few weeks. My hubby and I are very proud of them but we don't like to talk about how well they're doing to our friends who kids aren't doing so well. It feels like boasting and I don't want to seem like I'm comparing my children to theirs.<br />Sorry this is so long but it's an issue I've struggled with.Miz Kizzlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05650747741395559803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16655703.post-33369782797627500582010-08-12T19:30:20.770-07:002010-08-12T19:30:20.770-07:00way to go Dustin!
