Re: about the deaf child signs - another perspective

Sorry, the comment wasn't directed at you personally. It's was just a general

statement.

hearing loss, bilaterally aided)

I'm sorry you felt attacked and wished that you had brought that to

our attention of the moderators - we do try to watch for any issues,

but truly do miss some since the moderators do work outside the home

and have kids too . I hope that you never do feel like you need to

leave the list, and I feel sad that we didn't notice that there was

any issue.

We do have new parents joining the list almost daily and they may

not know there could be other reasons for doing things or not.

Actually, I debated myself whether or not to post another

perspective - and decided if I needed to let the newer parents know

there could be some cons. I needed to point out that there are valid

reasons to not have the signs as well as having the signs, provide

the parents the information, and let them weigh the pros and cons

and make the best decision for their families.

Please email me off list at maryemapa@... if any thing else

happens that concerns you.

Take care

felt attacked. Please let's not let this get into a debate again

about for or agaisnt the signs. The poster simply asked if anyone

knew how to go about getting the signs, not if we thought it was a

good idea or not. I honestly thought about leveing this group last

year when this became an issue. I don't want others to feel as I

did. Sorry if I ruffled any feathers.
