Guest guest Posted November 3, 2010 Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 Well I'm back and ended up not talking about biomed. The turn out wasn't very good. I left thirty minutes early and only about 3 parents-including me, showed up from Mickie's classroom of 10 students. I think I'm going to leave this one alone. I am happy to say that my parents refused the flu vaccine this year, when they found out the h1n1 was in it. I guess all the years of hearing me rant about vaccines, specially the combination ones, paid off.

Guest guest Posted November 4, 2010 Report Share Posted November 4, 2010 Zurama, Yes, how are they going to deal with them when they are over six feet tall?! I have never allowed my son's disability to be an excuse for bad behavior. When I would discipline him when he was little, my mom would feel sorry for him and say, " Don't scold him. Don't discipline him. " ( I used removing privileges, time outs, and corporal punishment as a last resort (one pop on the outside of the thigh) only for aggressive behavior when he hit, bit, or kicked me. My mom would have just let him be wild. I said to her, " Hey, should he learn it now while he is three feet tall, or should I wait until he is six foot five like the doctor predicts he will be? " The time to teach acceptable behavior is when ALL children are little. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 6, 2010 Report Share Posted November 6, 2010 Yes, you are RIGHT. Biomedical intervention also plays a HUGE role. I have to watch my son's diet, or things can get difficult very quickly, but being consistent in discipline and the rules is also important.
