She is only 2, and I still put too much pressure on myself. I know it is hard, but you are doing a GREAT job with your kiddos!Scott and Jennifer Schaetzlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12973630359530493410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3887018133183245084.post-38022185109106685482012-01-18T19:54:33.096-05:002012-01-18T19:54:33.096-05:00I could pretty much copy and paste your whole blog...I could pretty much copy and paste your whole blog for today in my blog area....same learning problems, same tutoring and level of school work, similar background and trauma....I was encouraged that you said that it can be regained....that the learning problems are not forever. Thank you for the hope. No one has told us that yet. We feel like we've been dropped a random child in the middle of no where and we just are playing a guessing game as to how to help the poor child. No one in our network has any experience or help with an older adopted child.<br />It makes it especially difficult to have 2 kids wizzing through school with all A's and 2 struggling kids who WANT to do well and work harder than anyone else I know (besides your poor children) and still aren't cutting it. :( You were encouragement because I don't feel so alone. And you were an encouragement because this seems to be "normal" for Brandon.Following Closelyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04534410087179148107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3887018133183245084.post-73262637609144016852012-01-18T19:16:42.438-05:002012-01-18T19:16:42.438-05:00AMy:

Your description of your children and their problems in learning describe my children perfectly..Add to that Sam's loss of hearing, speech impediment and speech delay, partial loss of vision, and problems with his walk and he has alot of "things" in front of him.Kaitrin has processing problems when given direction or in reading. SO I say all this to say that I agree. We have to look at the positives in our children and go with those and know that they are exactly where they are suppose to be and we have to help them be the best they can for God..Thanks so much for your words.They really encouraged me.<br />LevetaLevetahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17805107063684565967noreply@blogger.com
