[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hope this won't sound condescending.

I went to a concert tonight with a lot of families. There was a boy with visible SN who tried to approach the band, touch their equipment, etc a few times. His mother (I assume - or caretaker) redirected him patiently without making a scene and showed him the limit of how far he could go. He danced to the music right in front of the band and had a great time. He crossed the line once more, and his mother redirected him and played a little game with him to keep him calm. They left happily.

Again, apologies if this sounds condescending. I know most parents have some trying moments with their kids in public, and I just want to give kudos to all of you who manage trying moments all the time, whether or not your children's disabilities are obvious to others. I can't imagine the energy and patience this must take.

If the mom I saw tonight sees this, thank you for the great example of parenting and the joy of watching your son dance.[/quote]

Please go away.

Just go away.

I don't need your pity.  I love my child.  I love being his mother.  [/quote]

Good for you, PP.  The OP wasn't expressing pity.  She was expressing admiration that the mom kept her cool and obviously takes pride in who her kid is.  Calm down.[/quote]
