re unpredictableness

[Guest guest]

Carol:

I did not mean only behavior as in a child acting out. I also meant

variability in level of functioning, variability in attention and in

abilty to perform many language tasks.

> This is Carol.....sorry about confusion.....I meant

unpredictableness as far as ability to function or skill level, not

in behavior problems. I appreciate 's and G's responses as

they have very valuable information but when I said we have spent

years trying to get a connection I meant we had already gone through

all those items. I think Nat really understood what I was saying and

I didn't think you were " ranting " Nat! I completely feel with you!

Thankyou for your wise advice about coming to a point at which you

have a level of acceptance that we may not in our lifetime understand

all there is to know about the brain and why our children

behave/function as they do.

Hi All

This is Carol.....sorry about confusion.....I meant unpredictableness as far as

ability to function or skill level, not in behavior problems. I appreciate

's and G's responses as they have very valuable information but when I

said we have spent years trying to get a connection I meant we had already gone

through all those items. I think Nat really understood what I was saying and I

didn't think you were " ranting " Nat! I completely feel with you! Thankyou for

your wise advice about coming to a point at which you have a level of acceptance

that we may not in our lifetime understand all there is to know about the brain

and why our children behave/function as they do. I think it is good to keep

searching and any time we hear of something new to try it out but deep inside,

yes, I think we must learn to enjoy our children as they are and care for them

as best we can and put the bulk of our energy into that at present. Of course I

would like to know the connections but so far none of the things mentioned here

or in other readings are it for my son's particular brain! We really are very

intricate beings. And like you said, the frustration for our children must be

enormous!!! What a battle they have to live and keep their spirits up when

their brain is not functioning consistently! May God bless you as you continue

to give your best energy and love to your son and may He give you extra strength

to do it! Carol
