I just got to a point where I felt that the school no longer got to decide what happened in my home. &nbsp;Not much they could say when he made honor roll the entrie time he was there.. I know seeing me fight for him helped to repair the damage the homework fiasco had caused. &nbsp;<br />You should be so proud of sticking to your gut in knowing your child and his needs! &nbsp;Great job, Mom! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/be-a-part-of-the-conversation--take-2#post-1024833 Mon, 09 Sep 2013 08:00:25 +0000 Jeanie 1024833@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had to help my son get through an ADHD disorder in school. &nbsp;When my oldest son was in 3rd&nbsp;grade he started developing&nbsp;ADHD problems. &nbsp;He started failing some classes because he was getting so distracted and couldn't focus. &nbsp;Getting nightly homework done was grueling, &nbsp;took up to&nbsp;6 hours &amp;&nbsp;turned into a huge crying session for everyone. &nbsp;He could answer the homework questions but couldn't get the answers written down. &nbsp;I made appointments with the pediatrician, who sent us to the psychologist. &nbsp;The doctor determined he did have ADHD and prescribed&nbsp;medication and intervention with the school. &nbsp;The medication basically turned my son&nbsp;into an insomniac who didn't want to eat&nbsp;so we dropped that. &nbsp;The school did not agree with the ADHD diagnosis&nbsp;but one teacher rallied&nbsp;for us and helped us get a plan in place to modify the homework. I learned that you can get through a crisis together. &nbsp;You just start assembling a team of experts, learn everything you can, trust your gut when advice doesn't seem to work for you child, fight when needed, don't give up and you will get to a better place together. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/be-a-part-of-the-conversation--take-2#post-1024182 Sun, 08 Sep 2013 12:20:52 +0000 TraceyLiz65 1024182@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Runcarta we really do owe a lot to those silly people in life who thought it was their job in life to dicsourage us. &nbsp;Great way to turn it around and at such a young age.... You've had that success with you to fall back and remember for most of your life!!! &nbsp;Thank you so much for sharing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/be-a-part-of-the-conversation--take-2#post-1024097 Sun, 08 Sep 2013 04:50:48 +0000 Carla 1024097@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I started running cross country and track in Jr. High, and just loved it, even though I had been told I wasn't built right to be a 'good' runner. There was always a time between the end of cross country (early November) and the start of track (May) When nothing happened, and there was no team training. </p> <p>It was '77 at the height of the first running boom, and Runner's World magazine was all about the marathon. I found a book called 'How to Run the Perfect Marathon'. It was essentially a week by week training guide. I followed the plan for 6 months, and in April '78 at 17 years of age, ran a marathon.</p> <p>This was a formative event in my life. I learned that I could do ANYTHING I set my mind to. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/be-a-part-of-the-conversation--take-2#post-1023687 Sat, 07 Sep 2013 16:16:10 +0000 TraceyLiz65 1023687@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Such a brave thing to do and what an amazing growth experience. My sister took a job right after college in Germany and was there when the wall came down.

At 20 I packed pots and pans, a few clothes and left the United States to live In South Korea for a year. This was 1974 and they had just opened South Korea for tourists 6 months before I arrived. &nbsp;I learned so much about myself during my year there. South Korea was&nbsp;considered a third world country&nbsp;then and the poverty&nbsp;shocked me. Here are a few pictures of my stay.</p> <p>#1 - Seoul -1974<br />#2 &amp; 3 - Seoul - Jan. 1975<br />#4 -&nbsp;Anjeong-ri, the village I lived in -1974&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/be-a-part-of-the-conversation--take-2#post-1023456 Sat, 07 Sep 2013 03:33:51 +0000 TraceyLiz65 1023456@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Posting my second new feature for Saturdays and invite you to join in with your answers...&nbsp;<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://versatilestylebytracey.com/2013/09/06/be-a-part-of-the-conversation-2/">http://versatilestylebytracey......rsation-2/</a></p> <p>If you see this after Saturday, please feel free to respond there is no time limit.</p> <p>Thank you! </p>
