Re: Speaking normally after surgery

[Guest guest]

Yet again, Jane, it sounds to me as though you are a really swell

teacher. I didn't have many like you, but I think you're reaching

out to your young'uns, to give them most excellent help...

Congratulations on doing a fine job.

Maybe one more idee -- Let him/or her -- know that yep. It does

hurt. Emotionally or physically, or both. And that you're

disappointed that he/she finds it difficult. Not that you want your

troubles to be ignoredBut that you think it's important to keep on

going, and want to help this kidlet... and want him/her help you,

too. I think it helps youngsters a lot to let them know that

children need adults' help, as well.

Ok. So I'm nuts? I think it's important to let young'uns know that

adults sometimes have hard times, too, and try to work through them.

Cammie,

When he asked< does it hurt? " I just smiled and nodded yes and his

eyes were big! It was so cute to see that the child was so

concerned and puzzled by mt perdiciment!
