Guest guest Posted March 14, 2001 Report Share Posted March 14, 2001 Sue, That was a great post! Sounds like Riley is a real charmer! Keep up the good work.. Marci (Mom to ) Oklahoma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 14, 2001 Report Share Posted March 14, 2001 This past weekend we went to a festival in our town. Riley was having a blast! Sporting her band, she couldn't care less about the stares. However, I got some really good reassurance. We decorate her band with stickers but we ALWAYS put her name somewhere on the front. While we are out, people have an opportunity to look at her and then call her by her name, instead of staring dumbly at her. Then she just laughs and smiles when people start talking to her. With that, the band isn't an issue anymore. Sue & Riley (2nd DOC band 2/28/01) Phoenix, AZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 15, 2001 Report Share Posted March 15, 2001 Rob, Speaking as one self-proclaimed paranoid mom, that is kind of my feeling as well! Isn't it terrible that that should even cross someone's mind????? What in the heck is this world coming to!!!!

Guest guest Posted March 15, 2001 Report Share Posted March 15, 2001 TO all, Not to cast a doom and gloom on the decorating issue, but . . . Our society is one where some people are sick. As parents we protect our children at all costs. Please be careful when advertising your child's name in public. Children do not have the ability to tell good people from bad people. When a " stranger " approaches a child and calls them by name, the child may believe they are not a stranger. Just a thought. Rob S.

Guest guest Posted March 15, 2001 Report Share Posted March 15, 2001 Hi Rob - I certainly understand where you are coming from on this..and for those who have children who may be approaching 2 years this might be an issue. However, most of us have babies who are less than a year old and I don't think having a stranger calling them by name is a problem. My son is not walking (or crawling for that matter!) and he is never anywhere but in a stroller or in my arms when there are strangers around! I understand your warning is with everyone's best interests in mind, but I do think it depends on the age of your child. I will continue to have my son's name on his band because it does sort of " break the barrier " when it comes to other people's curiousity about the band. Thanks for listening to my opinion! - Evan's mom Plagiocephaly@y..., " Rob Kistenberg " <robcp@o...> wrote: > TO all, > > Not to cast a doom and gloom on the decorating issue, but . . . > > Our society is one where some people are sick.

Guest guest Posted March 15, 2001 Report Share Posted March 15, 2001 Rob: I agree with this too! Maybe not so much for little babies who are ALWAYS with a parent, but when kids start walking and getting older, and capable of wandering away, I think the name thing should be avoided. My children's names will never be on their team jackets, etc. until they are old enough to know better. I can only imagine some sicko coming up to my little girl and telling her to go with him.

Guest guest Posted March 15, 2001 Report Share Posted March 15, 2001 Kendra, I don't know if they ever 'know better'. I can't say the number of times I use a sales assistants name from their name badge as though I know them (you get much better service with 'Hi Jane ......' than 'excuse me .....') and they genuinely think that you know them or that they ask how you knew their name ... 'well hello it is on your shirt!'.
