Trish and Dawn, I’ll work on a reply and post it here next Thursday. Thanks for running with this idea – we’ll see how far it goes

Starrlife – the questions can come from anyone, what I’m offering is a Dad’s perspective

Is it for the moms/dads or both? I think it’s a good idea but don’t have any questions of my own…

I think it is a great idea!

I do have some questions (I am new to this blog, so forgive me if this stuff has already been covered): How do you deal with the times when there doesn’t seem to be progress with your child? You feel like you are working so hard and nothing is changing/improving. How do you keep a positive outlook during those times? And how do you encourage your child when you are feeling discouraged?

Ok, I’ll go out on a limb here…

I’m not sure how to phrase this, and it might apply more with a son, but do you have any thoughts for a guy who may sometimes feel less than a man because his son is “broken.”

Our son is wonderful and we both love him very much and see many strengths and gifts in him, but I know there are those inevitable twinges and that it makes it harder for my husband sometimes.

It’s great to get such positive feedback. Now it just remains to be seen whether anyone asks anything

I think its a great idea! We all have a lot to learn from each other.

I agree. It is a good idea. A lot of the folks who post and comment are moms, but in my life, there are dads and granddads, and uncles, and friends of the family who come here to read. They don’t say much. But they want to know as much.

I also think it is a fabulous idea. Isn’t this what the internet is for? To expand our horizons a little bit and stretch ourselves?
