Am I pushing him to be the best he can be? And you know what I've been thinking lately.....he IS going to learn what he needs to learn, even if we take time off in the summer to just BE and to just relax. If we are constantly pushing all the time, we aren't giving them the chance to learn for themselves either. They need to be just like typical kids and simply learn. We are there to guide--not shove it down their throats. They are clever--they will learn all they need to know!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17913754866057778005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3492445970940969120.post-2364715486514624202014-07-29T20:29:59.888-04:002014-07-29T20:29:59.888-04:00Great post!

Now, I am slowly learning to understand Ellie's challenges with speech. It seems so daunting when I was told sign language would be the way to go. . . um, I only knew how to spell my name and sign vomit, nurse, hospital, hurt. That wasn't going to get me far! Intellectual challenges--yes! Exactly! Like you said, we do not know what the future holds, but I bet it is going to be pretty awesome.Anna Theurerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06937391910402532608noreply@blogger.com
