Please let me know how it all turns out! I've written another blog called, "When you disagree with decisions about your child's education: What to do." It's in the "Special Education" category. It has all the steps you should take if you're unhappy with what's going on. Good luck to you! :)

I'm so glad you shared that. Megan, I have written a blog that might interest you called, "Why I Homeschool My Son with Aspergers Syndrome." One Mother's Story.

I have added the link to that blog at the end of this one. (Above.) You might find it informative.

Yes, Einstein, Edison, Churchill--even Cher and Tom Cruise. Lots of people who later made it big started out a bit on the slow side. They were probably dreaming and imagining and envisioning the future while the other children were filling out worksheets.

Well, I guess we've always got to be open to change. Not long ago I watched the movie "2001:A Space Oddysey" where the astronauts see "mountains" on jupiter and plan to land there. An amazing movie for it's time, but sooo wrong. We've come a long way, baby.

The Hollywood Split That Makes You Go Hmmm? - Blog Entry

I always wonder about these amicable break-ups because, if they can arrange such a friendly split why can't they just work things out? I agree that this is a decent alternative, and it's always better not to let things get ugly, but when kids are involved, you've got to earn a divorce. My two cents.

Wow. Thanks so much for your very kind words of encouragement! I have truly appreciated your comments and how you've taken an interest in my stories. I've also enjoyed reading your blogs. I'll try to get some articles out on children of divorce, assuming I get the okay.

Thanks again, Michele!

Swim, Laugh, and Thrive With Dolphins! - Blog Entry

Parents don't have to get in the water if they don't want to. I watched some video clips of very young kids experiencing the dolphin encounters and they were assisted by professional life guards/dolphin trainers, while mom or dad watched from the sidelines. I think it depends on the program... you might need to call and specify what your child needs and what you would like to happen. I believe most of them are pretty flexible, and will work with you. If your son does have a dolphin encounter, please share it with us!
