Yes, I think you are doing the right thing in not discussing your child in front of him unless he is included in the conversation. <br /><br />To help your son feel more confident, like you said, perhaps too much focus in on the negative side of things and you should try to get him involved in things he likes and can do well. <br /><br />The Best with all this!Pierrette and Lorna dEntremonthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12259446523830126401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4908525929870648096.post-38989335395042444912011-02-24T21:14:03.371-04:002011-02-24T21:14:03.371-04:00How sad for that little boy to grow up not being v...How sad for that little boy to grow up not being valued by his parents.<br /><br />At times it seems that there is way too much focus on my son's deficits and challenges, and this just makes him feel like he can't do anything right. One thing I have done is stop the discussion about him in front of him. If he is there, he needs to be part of the conversation and if it's not appropriate for him to be involved in a particular conversation then we will need to hold it at a different time.Trishhttp://anotherpieceofthepuzzle.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4908525929870648096.post-39527007106802375472011-02-15T23:17:21.224-04:002011-02-15T23:17:21.224-04:00Thanks, Barbara, for stopping by and leaving a com...Thanks, Barbara, for stopping by and leaving a comment. It is always difficult to reach a certain percentage of parents. Perhaps the parents who do not show up at school activities or parent/teacher conferences will now be easier to reach by using the internet.Pierrette and Lorna dEntremonthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12259446523830126401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4908525929870648096.post-87850522864096017162011-02-15T22:34:08.766-04:002011-02-15T22:34:08.766-04:00That last story was a bit heartwrenching.
