This is a short animated video about the Ten Commandments. Please consider following these laws. Our world is a better place with these laws. Christians and Jews believe they were given to us 3,000 years ago. Please try to do the following: avoid saying “God!” when you are mad unless you are talking directly to…
Remember when we went to Bubba Gump’s (the restaurant) on Santa Monica Pier? You got this light up drink cup and you (accidently) broke my golden flip flops. Yes, I remember a lot! You had never seen the movie. So then we went back to my apartment and we watched this movie. You said you…
I know you’ve seen kids like this. There’s a reason from our past adventures that I wanted to end our week’s focus on Mental Health Awareness Month. Watch the video. The next time you have to work with a really slow student, you’ll understand better what they are dealing with and the best ways to…
You’ve already outgrown Hannah Montana, I know. But it’s still a good song. Autistics and their families MUST embrace this motto because if they don’t their lives are just too tough. We all make mistakes. Nobody’s perfect and I am no exception to this rule. Have a good day!
I’ve known several kids with Autism. As my room has lots of routine, I tend to get these very unique individuals put in my class. What’s REALLY cool about these folks, is that writing stories with them as the main character is the best way to teach them how to handle social situations. Then, you…
Dearest Purity, Just found this song. What a beautiful melody. Friends are people who don’t NEED you. They want to have you around, but they don’t demand things from you. Perhaps they are someone around you looking out for you. Sometimes they don’t even know you…yet. Your older brother and I think we have a…
Dearest Bea, I know you are growing up fast, but you should hear this short story (8 mins). I read it every year to my kids. There are times when we all feel like people are judging us and “giving us dots.” But then other people come along and it doesn’t seem to matter to…
I believe family members of mine also have suffered from codependency. It is not wrong to need someone. But if you can’t (or are not allowed) to be an independent thinking person, with your own needs and opinions – codependency may be an issue. You know you (or someone close to you) is codependent when…
It is healthy to think well of yourself. You should be proud of yourself when you do good things. You should not have to sacrifice your feelings to make someone else happy. We all have to do things that are not our first choice sometimes. But when you do this, you also can promise yourself…
My mom’s mom had this personality disorder (I believe). Back then, people just looked the other way when others acted like this. As a youngster, I was charmed by my grandmother. It was only later that I realized how manipulative and controlling she was. Your sweet grandmother (my mom) was very hurt by this woman…
