Guest guest Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 Hi , well thank you and Angi for doing this! And thanks for sharing a few of the moments, especially where they seem to agree they won't be alone now that they have the group friends!! And apparently they're learning about PANDAS (LOL, that was cute!) I think maybe we moderators might want to mention your group in our opening/summary paragraph description for our group. Would that be okay? > > > Good Morning Parents! > > Although I am relatively quiet on this listserv, because I have way too many questions and not enough answers, lol, I have been very fortunate to become a moderator of our OCDKidsLoop listserv.

Guest guest Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 I'm fine with that, it's a good resource to promote to new listserv members!  And yes indeed, thanks to Angi for setting this group up and moving us forward in new ways to help our kids!  in WI  Subject: Re: OCDKidsLoop Update To: Date: Wednesday, April 14, 2010, 8:18 AM  Hi , well thank you and Angi for doing this!

Guest guest Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 Apparently dd told her therapist all about the kids loop yesterday at her appointment (has extinguished four behaviors, with only one new one popping up!), and the therapist was so enthusiastic that she asked me if it was okay for her to pass along the group info to some of her kid clients! So excited! -Angi From: <@ hotmail.com> Subject: Re: OCDKidsLoop Update To: @ yahoogroups. com Date: Wednesday, April 14, 2010, 8:18 AM  Hi , well thank you and Angi for doing this!

Guest guest Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 Thanks for doing this! One of the first things I wanted on here (the reason I joined) was to get my son connected with other children with OCD. Then I found out that group was not in place any longer and was so disappointed. Thank you guys so much for picking up the ball and getting this to happen. There is nothing greater than being able to talk with people who really get it -what a great opportunity for our kids! - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 We are totally enthused and happy to be doing it. The participating kids are having a blast so far, and I'm hoping so lurkers will feel comfortable enough to speak up when they're ready, too. I want it to help our kids realize that they're not alone, not freaks, not crazy… whatever might go through their minds as a result of not knowing anyone else their age who deals with what they do. These kids are amazingly brave! I want them to understand that! -Angi Subject: Re: OCDKidsLoop Update To: Date: Wednesday, April 14, 2010, 5:07 PM  Thanks for doing this! One of the first things I wanted on here (the reason I joined) was to get my son connected with other children with OCD. Then I found out that group was not in place any longer and was so disappointed. Thank you guys so much for picking up the ball and getting this to happen. There is nothing greater than being able to talk with people who really get it -what a great opportunity for our kids!  -  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 This madfe me cry! Thank you so much for sharing it! Our daughter was officially diagnosed today and I will be talking with my husband about when she can join! =) Heidi OCDKidsLoop Update Good Morning Parents! Although I am relatively quiet on this listserv, because I have way too many questions and not enough answers, lol, I have been very fortunate to become a moderator of our OCDKidsLoop listserv. You all know how inspiring this parents' meeting place can be...and let me assure you, our kids are inspiring and encouraging each other in ways that touch my heart daily. We have the most AMAZING kids!!! Here are a few of my favorite moments thus far: One OCD child commented: i dont have any friends with it so i feel alone To which a few others responded: I feel alone to but now we have this website thats good. I am so sorry about you having no friends but on here you can make friends and I would like to becom a friend of yours Also, many of our kids want to become actors/actresses, dancers, singers, and all sorts of great things that show us the courage they have inside, even when it's difficult for them to show it. Another favorite moment...my daughter has established a phone friendship with one of the other girls. The other girl mentioned PANDAS, and a little while later I hear a giggle and my daughter says, OH, I thought you meant that your OCD makes you crazy for Panda Bears! Ah, to see the world through the eyes of a child is such a gift...keep encouraging your children to join and connect. We have 12 members already, and my blackberry starts firing off emails each evening after school (and hopefully after homework, haha). Thank you, for allowing me to be a small part of getting and keeping these kids connected! Here they can talk about, and do talk about, what their OCD makes them do, the doctors they see, the medications they take...oh, and they all agree OCD is annoying! :-) But of course, it is part of what makes them who they are, and we only need to encourage the person beneath their symptoms and we'll all find our special place in this world! in WI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
