For my son, it's eczema, food allergies, and asthma. I can't believe how calm he is at kid's birthday parties where he can't eat ANY of the food and must stick to what I bring from home. I'd throw a fit, why doesn't he.<br /><br />Kids are awesome.<br /><br />Jennifer<br />itchylittleworld.wordpress.comJenniferhttp://itchylittleworld.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5315439358146232234.post-62090476158027814522012-03-01T13:52:51.441-08:002012-03-01T13:52:51.441-08:00Thanks for sharing your comments.

I am going to share your comments in my classes. People are often surprised at how young we can gently start our kids on the road to independence.Lisa Greenehttp://www.pcwhi.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5315439358146232234.post-41095075511622571902012-02-29T15:00:45.397-08:002012-02-29T15:00:45.397-08:00Amen!

I started with her clinic appointments; having her talk to the doctor about her throat swabs. I also have her tell me how many enzymes she needs. I set up chest therapy and she puts on her vest, hooks up the hoses, and starts the machine. I was floored one day when she asked me if she could do chest therapy. I think more responsibilty is a good way of giving her more "control" in her life.Sherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10744583673452577369noreply@blogger.com
