[QUOTE="Ropefree, post: 215886, member: 6271"] As a parent the inexplicable behavor of adults is the most troubling difficulty I confront. As a parent I am obligated as a guide to confront the unique strengths my child carries in them as their gifts to our world. In my determination I am providing my unconditional love of my child as the filter through which my child receives their introduction to this complex world. Introducing new foods is especially difficult if there are reactions physically. It becomes an issue of trust, doesn't it? How can a child trust that eatting is a good idea if it hurts at any poiint? In terms of having a diagnosis and the steps that work to provide the support of others in their caring world the first step is acceptance and understanding what can be done. I do not think that "a disorder" or a "label" for something generally is a hurt thing. The person is themselves worthy...the things they need are not negotiable. We are social animals, humans, not herds in a corral that are singled out and deminished because we are unique. As you inform yourself and embrace this doable challenge of raising loving and preparing your child for their lifetime this is not shameful. It is as improtant to the community and the world as any other thing. Preparing your child and educating the educators who by chosen proffesion are teaching exspands the knowledge in the classroom, in the school, in the community and in the heathcare pros who serve this humanity. No one feels like being the leader and yet every single woman who gives birth and every man who choses to assume the role of a parent IS THE LEADER. Your childs disposition brings strengths into the world. As parent you are going to cultivate and nuture those to the best of your ability until the day you die. Now with intense attention and later as needed. What I have learned about raising a child in an environment where the social attitudes are that people are fixed like cars or they are broken is that when one boldly imposes the exspectations on a teacher like:acedemic excellance and the social ediquete of inclusinve care of ones fellows eventually the brittle truth is there are going to be those who will begin to feel so strongely as you do because they witness the facts as they are and it helps them to grow up too. Living with reality as it is is what, I think, is the mark of maturity. Whatever "it" is "it" is a fact. What your childs future holds is partly in your hands. When we help our children to accept themselves and to have the highest exspectations for themselves we are merely helping them get dressed for their day in the sun. I hope you have the CApt underpants series for your little reader. Nothing like Professor PooPoo PEE PEE Pants to take the stigma out of what eveybody does and most of us can and should be willing to manage with dignity and a sence of humor. Most boys find it enormously fasinating. I remember a three year old who had an accident and she was so shut down and cowering with her unneccisary shame feelings. What perked her up was hearing her Father describe having a similar problem not long ago. REally? She was washed over with relief. My son also had a terrible moment...and he was in a tree at the time. It takes some care to help our children know that they are productive and capable and the slips and conditions are part of being human. What we do first, as parents is work through our emotions about it, then we both demostrate and more honestly guide our own to learn to in kind. [/QUOTE]
