We focus so much on our difficult children. Seems most of us don't talk too much about our PCs and I don't know much about the PCs who are part of our family. I thought of giving a thread up for parents and grandparents and aunties to brag about the PCs in their familes. I know this gets touchy because we don't WANT to talk too much about our successful kids when this is a board focusing on our challenged kids, but why not give them a shout out and explain about them to the rest of us? Don't k now if this thread will catch on, but will give it a try.
For me, due to several factors (including the fact that my bigest easy child has Learning Disability (LD) problems, I have talked a lot about Jumper. She is very easy child and probably the easiest child anyone could raise. Her best trait is her incredible resilience. She is also level-headed and has a "large" pesonality...everybody loves her. I don't think she has any enemies and she has a kind, loving heart. She is not afraid to stick up for the nerd who is getting picked on or the younger child who is getting bullied. She is her own person and makes wonderful choices about her life. She wants to be a social worker and will work hard to get there and probably make a really good one. She is a good friend and doesn't get jealous of her buddies and is their biggest cheerleader.
Jumper does not whine or think of herself as a victim. She is adopted, she has been sexually abused by psycho kid, and she has LDs yet she is strong and confident and not at all bitter. She did go through a time around twelve when she wanted to know why her birthmother relinquished her, but after I contacted BM and she read some e-mails, she moved on and seems very well-adjusted. She can be serious, but usually has a sunny dispositioin. Can't say enough about this lovely child.
Of course, I love all of my kids, but Jumper is so pleasant and easy to raise and so much fun. It is just really nice having her in our family.
