Thanks for being another mother who's trying to do something a little different! <br /><br />Amy..thanks for being brave enough to not only comment but to allow your child to be as she was intended. Greatness will come from it if as it sounds like you are supporting her in naturally finding what works for her! the rest be damned ;)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06991397087568444563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7388783882345711034.post-86159709312322723602010-07-24T21:34:38.240-04:002010-07-24T21:34:38.240-04:00Great post, I definatley agree with you on the med...Great post, I definatley agree with you on the medication. My daughter who is now getting ready to be 16, was diagnosed with OCD at the age of 11. OCD is rarely diagnosed early in ones life. She was always counting and doing different things. She would have to touch a stair 4 times each before she could come down the steps. Anyways to get to my point they immediately started giving her Prozac. She became more and more withdrawn and I decided as a Mother she would be better off without it. The side effects on many of these medications are far worse than what they need to learn to deal with in the first place. I give you kuddos for speaking out about it! My daughter is doing great and she has done just fine without the meds, we never know what the future holds but for now she is my regular moody teenager, but aren't they all! :)Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16988533728252504571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7388783882345711034.post-49767017124433035012010-07-24T19:27:36.970-04:002010-07-24T19:27:36.970-04:00What a great post!

I know I probably watch too much tv, but the kidlets are limited on it and video games as well. And we are family fans of asking why. We've been joking lately that our wee girl's middle name is 'why'. And I couldn't stiffle the giggle when we were out the other day, my son asked me a question that I didn't have an answer for. Wee girl, who had been very quiet during the conversation (she had been busy with a pad of paper & a pencil in the backseat), suddenly piped up, "Its okay, Mom. We can google it when we get home." I knew my son knew what google was, but I guess wee girl has been paying attention to where Mama goes for more answers or when her big brother wants to look up what something looks like! :><br /><br />(I found you by way of BF, SITS and look forward to returning! :>)Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06572568205513606978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7388783882345711034.post-15897400709621085862010-07-24T00:01:55.647-04:002010-07-24T00:01:55.647-04:00Yes!

We stopped watching television at our house more than a year ago, and although we still watch some DVDs, and the kids still play some video and computer games, I've seen a huge improvement in their creativity - the same for my husband and I too. Everything in moderation is how we like to live - there can always be too much of a good thing if not careful. ;)Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11319136793470750054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7388783882345711034.post-66018382798580492682010-07-23T15:25:01.060-04:002010-07-23T15:25:01.060-04:00Denyse,
