Hi mountainspring

Good thoughts about channeling all that energy. I'm taking your YMCA suggestion myself... ... going to spend a good chunk of Jan. 2 at the gym getting the lead out!

Thanks Storm.  The Y is a great place.

CB123 - I am focusing in on your point, "I believe that the difficulties we often have with our kids is because we arent paying close attention to who they ARE." 

The answer is in this marvelous kernel.  Thank you.

"K's disabilty is going to eventually look like a gift.  It's the different people in the world who give the rest of us a new way of looking at things."

That is so touching CB.

"I think, GS, that you will gain so much from the way your son interacts with the world. "  Yes I will focus on that.  What can I learn from his way of seeing the world?  What a helpful thought.  I am moving in that direction on this last day of 2006, just in time to start the new year afresh.  Thanks - GS

Someone brought up a point here that gave me one more idea (it was about the YMCA)... My son is also sensitive, but one thing that has given him the most confidence is finding the sport that he loves. IHe played soccer for years, but didn't have a passion for it. Now he does roller hockey and he has become a daredevil and proud of himself since he can skate fast and hard. Is there something your son is interested in pursuing?? I also agree that you sound tired, and that makes it harder to focus. Being a single parent is so hard, GS. But all of your ideas are great and you are moving along so well and love will always fill in any gap
Love, Beth
