[quote=Anonymous]He needs to learn to let go. Our kids are only ours for a time. We either teach them how to survive, or we teach them how to fail. Things happen in life. Sometimes bad things. His reactions are not lost on your children. He's not doing them any favors. It's one thing to care and to love, but it's another thing to handicap them. When my son was diagnosed with juvenile diabetes at age 11, he tried the Woe is me routine for a bit. That didn't fly with me. I told him to suck it up and deal with it. Yes, it's bad, but it could be much, much worse. He is now 22 and one of the hardest working men that I know. He never uses it as an excuse. He refuses to let it stop him. Make your kids tough, not soft. The world won't pull any punches. [/quote]
