If people only stopped and thought about how uplifting and confidence boosting a positive statement or compliment is and paid those more then the negative put downs the world would be a much better place (in my opinion) Cassandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11918461314330489379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1347836218517547990.post-68297644075366562142012-09-09T07:43:29.535-07:002012-09-09T07:43:29.535-07:00Btw my daughter with spd would reach for a bottle ...Btw my daughter with spd would reach for a bottle until she was six or seven.

Once when my daughter was having full meltdown at a store, this lady approached me to shake her head and state that I must be a saint. That line makes me angry. What does that make my child? A burden to bear, a horrid negative thing? No. Way! No saints here. Real people with real children. Support not stress and judgement.
