For truly uncontrolled behaviors, keep an explanation card handy. A little understanding from both parties will help to resolve conflicts.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10616282351291824392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14806700.post-15029596322638550802014-11-25T23:14:54.477-05:002014-11-25T23:14:54.477-05:00I've never seen the show, but was just as shoc...I've never seen the show, but was just as shocked as you when I read the review. Kristyn said it best (what we've been saying for years): "Lots of parents are failing, you are not one of them." I am sorry you had to even read or hear this, or about the girl at the bounce place...we know this crap is happening, but man, it'd be nice to have a break from ignorance and/or plain stupidity!PARENTS NEED TO START EDUCATING THEIR KIDS ABOUT THE DIFFERENCES IN PEOPLE, AND LIFE IN GENERAL. That doesn't mean people won't be rude, but if parents were consistent..instead of living on their damn iphones, the world may be a better place! I feel a little speechless about that review..and pissed! Done venting, for now..Ha! Sending you hugs and prayers always.... Love and miss you all very much! xoxoALYnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14806700.post-87683019320587734112014-11-25T19:30:10.559-05:002014-11-25T19:30:10.559-05:00There seems to be a trend in our society aimed at ...There seems to be a trend in our society aimed at raising human beings who not only lack empathy but are incapable of resolving problems with each other. There was a great article in the Times once about burnt toast. When we were kids, if we burned a piece of toast, we scraped off the burnt parts, slapped some butter on and ate it. In the world of incapability and instant gratification, the toast gets thrown away and you get a brand new perfect piece, because why not? Because it teaches children that everything can go their way all of the time and that's not real. Just because somebody is "weird" or not exactly like you or not neurotypical doesn't mean our kids shouldn't have to try figure out a way that they can come together. It's unfortunate that it was Max's mom who tried to make it work. I would hope that any teacher would try to work on both sides and help to develop appropriate adaptive skills within the children involved to whatever degree possible so that they might learn even a little bit that we don't always have to like everybody or everything and they don't always have to like us. Parents seem very quick to try to solve everything for their kids these days and not leave them accountable for much of anything on their own, including rudeness. Children should know that it's ok to think something and not say every thing you think out loud. Kids should not think it's ok to tell a person that the person they are caring for is weird. Lots of parents are failing, you are not one of them. PS burnt toast still tastes pretty good, just different.Kristynnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14806700.post-57935553360323496272014-11-24T23:20:02.878-05:002014-11-24T23:20:02.878-05:00I think there are a lot of understanding and compa...I think there are a lot of understanding and compassionate parents out there. Then, unfortunately, there are the judgy parents who don't know what it is like to be understanding or empathetic. They don't see other points of view, don't see how it might be to parent a kid who doesn't respond the way a neurotypical kid might. <br /><br />Most people I know, adults AND kids, know a lot about kids with autism and other disabilities. I would really hope that they wouldn't respond that way. Leeannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17529722995554495470noreply@blogger.com
