Evie was actually diagnosed by a doctor ...Hi Kelly. Evie was actually diagnosed by a doctor early on with ADHD, but that just didn't seem to fit. There were too many symptoms that didn't match that diagnosis. We had 2 separate occupational therapists tell us about sensory processing disorder. One OT let us borrow a video about it, and it pretty much described Evie. So that is how we found out the diagnosis. Anyways, thank you for your encouraging words!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12676934511271640399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4307948690637632633.post-40803890220173021812008-07-18T10:24:00.000-07:002008-07-18T10:24:00.000-07:00It is interesting when you hear story after story ...It is interesting when you hear story after story about judgemental parents. Once at a store this mom gave my daughter a nasty look for singing out loud and all the while her son was taking things off a store shelf.<BR/>I could have easily said something to her but I didn't.<BR/>Parenting isn't easy and it would be nice if most of the time you could count on other parents to "have your back" so to speak. I found it occasionally but not often enough.<BR/>Wow, how did you learn that Evie has this sensory issue? <BR/>I just also think that every parent needs to really tune into the needs of their child, every child has issues with something and strengths, all parents need to be as concerned and involved as you in making sure their child is with the people they need to be with to grow into a successful adult. Good for you!!!!<BR/>KellyKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18031256003548447236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4307948690637632633.post-44660240421012271692008-07-17T19:09:00.000-07:002008-07-17T19:09:00.000-07:00It's a shame that people judge each other without ...It's a shame that people judge each other without really knowing the facts. It's easy to tell other people how to raise their kids, no so easy to do it yourself. I'm glad you are finding ways to help her.SchnauzerMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14169794494360415699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4307948690637632633.post-58377570679144702742008-07-17T17:50:00.000-07:002008-07-17T17:50:00.000-07:00Hi Jules.

Evie wasn't big at birth, even though she was so late. She weighed only 7 pounds 1 ounce. She probably would have been pretty tiny if she would have been born on time. Thank you for sharing about your boys. It helps to have people who understand!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12676934511271640399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4307948690637632633.post-1138932153908541882008-07-17T14:50:00.000-07:002008-07-17T14:50:00.000-07:00Jen I'm sorry you've had to deal with such rude an...Jen I'm sorry you've had to deal with such rude and hurtful comments. As you said, parenting is not easy and none of us have all the answers. I might think others aren't doing a good job raising their kids, but that's their business not mine and I don't really know what goes on behind closed doors!<BR/><BR/>You could have been describing my eldest son when you were describing Evie. He was the child that used to stand on his head to learn his spelling words. He never sat still. And doesn't to this day. He always has to have something in his hand to play with. Come to think of it, my youngest son is similar. My eldest son suffered loss of oxygen at birth and we've always wondered if that had something to do with his (mild) learning disabilities. I couldn't help but wonder if Evie was premature as all the characteristics that you've just described often show up at around 3 years of age in children who were born prematurely. Glad you're getting the help and support you need.Juleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08923641039706647805noreply@blogger.com
