Guest guest Posted May 24, 2000 Report Share Posted May 24, 2000 Just to keep everyone on the same thought: In June I will post all of the ideas for a symbol which best represents parenting a child with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder - and hold a democratic vote!! This symbol will be used at the OCF conference in Chicago in August. It will help us identify each other! For anyone new on the list, the suggestions should be easy enough to purchased anywhere in the world, and in a variety of forms and price ranges.... later, wendy, in canada (presenter, with Kathy H., at the ocf conference on parenting ocd kids!) ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 7, 2000 Report Share Posted June 7, 2000 HI , Thanks for the reminder. I personally am really charmed by the idea of a turtle. It symbolizes for me the baby steps that are necessary to do CBT and battle OCD, and the idea that slow and steady wins the race. It also reminds me of Kathy H.'s saying, " Never give up, " which is one that andra and I have adopted. When andra was a baby, I used to take her out in her stroller every afternoon. The highlight of these trips soon became one particular yard with a wrought iron fence, where lived two lively beagle puppies and one large turtle (tortoise??). This turtle was about a foot tall and 18 inches long. Every day when we approached their yard, the puppies would come running to the fence, jumping and yapping all the way. Behind them, slowly but surely, came the turtle, much to my daughter's delight. She would always wait patiently for this turtle to make its friendly way to the fence. And I just had to admire that animal's determination. In its own very dignified manner, it proved itself equal to the " other dogs. " Well, thanks for letting me reminisce. Take care, Lesli " W.
