And I always say, "You're just how God intended you to be." I've also told him "You're special and unique and to me that makes you so cool!" <BR/><BR/>I never want him to feel like he's "weird" just because he's different than about 90% of the rest of his schoolmates. <BR/><BR/>I admit it is hard to parent kids that are different. My friends and family sometimes think I'm thinking things through too much when it comes to certain situations, but they don't know how things stress my son out. Just like that post you saw on my blog. That basketball game about made my son quit and give up the game that he loves. He seriously couldn't stand the situation. Other parents just couldn't see why it was a big deal to Tanner. But it was and that made it important to me. <BR/><BR/>As parents it's our job to know when to push them out of their comfort zone and when to let them stay there.Sabrina L.
