Guest guest Posted May 20, 2008 Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 AND.........why is it that the people with the loudest, crying, tantrumming kids NEVER utilize the 'Cry Room' where they can see and hear Mass but the rest of us wouldn't have to listen to their kids?!?!? **************Wondering what's for Dinner Tonight?

Guest guest Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 : I think your church sounds great in that they seem to be willing to do what it takes to keep your daughter included in things. Remember, if someone else helps out with that like the high schooler, that would be their ministry - you shouldn't feel like you'd be putting anyone out. And, if she did get someone 1:1, I wonder if they couldn't then put her in with kids her age since she'd have someone to help her?

Guest guest Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010  wow it sounds like much thought is given about how to best integrate 's needs. My daughter is similar and became dangerous to babies and toddlers cAN i INVITE YOU to reflect on what 's ministry is. ? Often we look at the ways our children must me ministered to. yet really, our children have a ministry in the church and the world. It really helps me to be intensional about naming those ways which Kezia is a blessing. Teenagers are enriched.  They learn, they have opportunity to gain skills, add to their life and work experience and are often creative at problem solving and can come up with out of the box solutions because they aren't closed up in methodology.  You too spread your love and learning to all who come in contact with and the ministry widens. Just a thought born of this shared experience. Sometimes i am amazed to run into fold who genuinely were touched from the experience of knowing Kez. I bet many feel the same about 's presence in their lives.  Hugs. jay, kezia's mom 12 ________________________________ To: DS-Autism < > Sent: Mon, January 25, 2010 3:08:54 PM Subject: church  Wanted to ask/vent about this. At church, we have a nursery, for kids 0-3ish and when they are potty trained, they move on. So of course, , 7, is still in there. Plus she could never sit in a class. Anyways, as she's getting taller, she's yanking things down in there and just getting more active and its hard since infants are in there. One of the ladies in charge of the kids stuff talked to me yesterday and said they thought at first to do a special needs class, but decided not to, they did not want to separate the kids, which made me glad. And she said would we be willing ot have one of the very responsible high school kids come in, I guess more than one, and be 's aide? I think its great, but I feel like we are putting people out. And it just makes me realize, yet again, how delayed and different she is. I am not upset with church, more just sad that she is so delayed, ya know? Anyone go thru this?

Guest guest Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 I love this!!! I ask myself often, what is here to teach me? But I never thought about the ways he enriches others. The smiles from teachers, therapists, bus drivers, and neighbors tell me that he is spreading love, or at least joy. Maybe people learn from his dogged determination, too. Thank you for this, from the bottom of my heart. Sent from my iPhone wow it sounds like much thought is given about how to best integrate 's needs.
