Proof that what you say and do does in fact make a difference ~

 

I know I posted last week about Ethan’s experiences at school this year and how he was having a pretty rough go of it. I am going into his class tomorrow and am going to talk to the kids a little bit about Ethan and his medical diagnosis. Working with our private speech therapist we made a simple book talking about being different and that it is ok.

Now on to a positive incident and proof that your children DO listen to what you say!  Another Mom contacted me via facebook and her child is in class with Ethan.  She said she had a long talk with her child about being nice to everyone, including everyone, and perhaps going out of their way to include Ethan, even if it is just saying “hi” or giving him a nice smile. 

Guess who my spies told me was playing on the playground yesterday with Ethan at recess? This child! Who before might not have thought about reaching out or asking Ethan to play. It made me smile and want to give that Mom a big giant hug.  See!! Our kids do listen.  That one child made a difference in Ethan’s outlook that day, and on mine as well!
